The Air Jordan 9 Retro Johnny Kilroy is a special colorway of the Jordan 9 silhouette. It is named after the fictional character "Johnny Kilroy" who was created as part of a marketing campaign during Michael Jordan's first retirement from basketball in the mid-90s.

The shoe features a high-top profile with a combination of leather, nubuck, and synthetic materials on the upper while the midsole and outsole are made of a durable rubber material. The shoe is adorned by a black-and-white block color scheme, with black covering the majority of the shoe. Meanwhile, white covers the top part and runs behind the heel then extends through the mudguard to the edge of the toe box.

What we love about the Air Jordan 9 Retro Johnny Kilroy is the intricate detailing that includes phrases such as "Kilroy's Kicks" on the insoles and "Kilroy" on the back of the tongue, adding a playful and distinctive touch to the shoe's design. The shoes were released for retail on October 6th, 2012, at $160.
