On the Air Jordan 9 Michael Jordan gave direct orders to have a clean toe, so Tinker Hatfield made sure the Air Jordan 9 had a reinforcement around the toe, making the Nike Air Jordan 9 the first basketball model to obtain this. To celebrate the defining moment of Jordan‘s first championship, Nike released a commemorative Black/Gold Air Jordan 9 packaged with a White/Black/Gold Jordan 11 sold as the “Defining Moments Package”.The Air Jordan Retro 6 was released for the 1990-91 season. This season and this shoe was part of a defining moment for Michael Jordan and all of the Air Jordan 9.
