Jordan 9 Retro Photo Blue Black Bottom (B-Grade)

The Jordan 9 Retro Photo Blue Black Bottom (B-Grade) applies a black base and Photo Blue accents to the Jordan 9 silhouette. What makes the B-Grade version different from the standard model is this sneaker didn’t pass the first quality control. The reason this basketball shoe didn’t pass the initial inspection is it has a black outsole instead of a white outsole. Like the version with the white outsole, the B-Grade model features a synthetic leather upper with nubuck overlays, all in black. Photon Blue thread stitches across the upper and gives the overlays defined edges. The lace hooks, the Jumpman logo on the midsole, the ‘AIR JORDAN’ lettering on the tongue, the ‘23’ on the heel overlay, and the Jumpman medallion come in Photon Blue. Our StockX experts like the oversized pull tab that loops onto the heel. The Jordan 9 Retro Photo Blue Black Bottom (B-Grade) was released on May 9th, 2013, and retailed at $160.
