The Air Jordan 9 Retro GS 'Dark Charcoal University Gold' presents a contrasting look for grade schoolers. A black nubuck upper is overlaid with Dark Charcoal around the base. The inner bootie and speed lacing system provide a comfortable fit whether they're at school or hanging out with friends. Pops of University Gold highlight the collar lining and heel. The heel pull-loop and Jumpman branding also get the University Gold treatment. The PU midsole houses Air in the heel for lightweight cushioning.
