The Air Jordan 9 Retro 'Charcoal' 2010 adds a premium material build to its basketball construction. The black and grey upper appears on a suede and nubuck build, highlighted by hits of Varsity Red on the branding and lining. The mesh tongue provides breathability, while Air in the midsole provides cushioning. The signature outsole includes another hit of Varsity Red via the Jumpman at the heel.
