THIS IS the Jordan 9 Retro Photo Blue Black Bottom B-Grade - the Jordan 9 variation that wasn’t supposed to F’n exist.

The retail pairs all came with the basic white outsole. Then a tiny batch rolled out of QC with that beautiful BLACK bottom, instantly turning these into one of the coolest and rarest Jordan 9 variations ever made. Nike stamped them B-Grade not for a flaw, but for a color mix-up that created a pair collectors chase hard.

You still get everything the standard release has: black synthetic leather, black nubuck overlays, crisp Photo Blue stitching, and blue hits on the lace hardware, Jumpman, tongue, heel “23,” and medallion.

If you want the pair everyone else wishes they had instead of the boring white-bottom version, this is the one.

OG box included, complete with the original B stamp.
