On December 6th, Nike's 'Black/Light Gum' iteration of the 'Air Jordan 9 Boot' is set to drop, giving sneakerheads and their generous friends and family members yet another option to choose from for the holidays.
The sneakers retails for $225 USD, and can be found at participating Jordan Brand retailers, as well as from Nike SNKRS. As the new Air Jordan 9 Boot is made from a combination of suede and leather materials, it has a durable build that makes the higher price point worth the investment, especially when the all-black colorway that's resistant to stains and scuffs is taken into account.
The sneakers are finished off with light beige gum soles, which have a raised texture on the sides and feature the Jumpman logo.
