The Air Jordan 2009 is a high-performance hoops shoe that offers unsurpassed style, drawing off of the heritage of the Michael Jordan legacy while inspiring the future. The upper is comprised of leather and unstructured molded mesh, creating maximum comfort and protection. Details include engineered mesh overlays, hand stitching, jewel logos and laser treatments. The midsole is a combination of full-length Phylon™ foam with a double-stacked Zoom Air™ unit in the heel and forefoot -- some of the best performance cushioning available. There's also a carbon-fiber-inspired shank plate with marbled performance design treatment for stability and durability. The outsole is solid rubber with siping-inspired grooves for multidirectional traction.
