Official Images of the Air Jordan 9 “Olive” Revealed

Air Jordan 9 “Olive” | Nike

While our recent attention has been on upcoming dates for the Jordan Collection in 2025, we must not overlook the extensive lineup awaiting us towards the end of 2024.

Teaming up with highly regarded releases such as the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” and the Jordan 3 “Black Cement,” the Air Jordan 9 “Olive” is poised for a comeback this festive season. Now, we are treated to a splendid preview of what awaits us this October.

The blend of black perforated leather, olive suede, and subtle “Varsity Red” embellishments remains intact here. It is important to note that this classic appearance hasn’t been in circulation since 2012 in its truest sense.

A somewhat similar color scheme was introduced in 2023 but opted for “Dark Concord” instead, thus diverging from the authentic essence of this upcoming pair.

Overall, the faithful reproduction of the original design and the considerable gap between retro releases are set to elevate the excitement and anticipation surrounding this model, contributing to what already promises to be an extravagant Holiday season for Jordan aficionados.

Despite being potentially undervalued in comparison to the other models in the Jordan brand, the Air Jordan 9 boasts a diverse collection of highly esteemed color variations.

Following the footsteps of the Air Jordan 9 “Powder Blue” and paving the way for the upcoming Jordan 9 “Cool Grey” release next year, this “Olive” iteration will mark the return of several original color options to store shelves.

The Air Jordan 9 “Olive” is scheduled to hit Nike.com and retail stores in October 2024 with a price tag of $210. Delve deeper into this winter’s release by exploring the official images below.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
