Air Jordan 2009 (2K9) was released in early 2009. There were totally 2009 pairs produced, 1005 for sale in the USA and 1004 for areas elsewhere. It is called the 2009 because the Air Jordan shoe produced directly before it was the XX3/XXIII, and as Michael Jordan's number was 23, they didn't name any more shoes numerically. Overall, the Air Jordan 2009 proves to be a stylish, complex, and clean sneaker which utilizes the newest sneaker technology available. Jordan Brand may have retired their famous numbered naming scheme, but the thought and effort put into designing a sneaker will live on via the Air Jordan 2009.
