With so many 9's releasing in such a short frame of time it was only obvious that one would have it's date changed.It now seems like Jordan Brand has updated the release date of the Jordan 9 Motorboat Jones. Set to release as the final colorway from the Kilroy Pack, this AJ 9 rocks a simple tonal red suede upper and is broken up with black accents throughout.The Air Jordan 9 Motorboat Jones has a new release date of December 1st. The retail price is set at $160.
Another 9? Personally i think this boxed in time frame release of Jordan 9's was the worst jORDAN brand idea ever but wait there's more. Instead of releasing that horrible all elephant upper DB 5 they have decided to drop another 9. Smh... Atleast this one is for a good cause but again personally i'll pass.
Designed by 11 year old, Oswaldo Jimenez, who is diagnosed with severe pulmonary hypertension helped design this Air Jordan 9. He got his inspiration from his Mexican heritage. The tongue tag will bear Oswaldo’s nickname “Pollito”, which means “little chicken”.
The upper will feature feather-like graphics throughout the mudguard. His lucky number “17″ can be found on the back heel as well. His birthday September 13 can also be found behind the tongue. Mark your calendars because the Air Jordan 9 Doernbecher has a release date on November 30th.
Unlike the "Johnny Kilroys," these are set for a limited release this Saturday, October 13. Look out for them at select Jordan Brand accounts in men's sizes only retailing for $160.

The Jordan Brand might release “Motorboat Jones as part of the Kilroy series. Personally the Air Jordan 9 is in overkill mode. All these colorways will be hit or miss and opens the gate for fakes.

You've heard the rumors - now take your first look at what appears to be a lineup of 2012 Air Jordan Retro 9 samples. Rumored to be making highly-anticipated returns are the original "Olive" and retro "Cool Grey" colorways, along with two styles we've never seen before. First, a Black/Photo Blue make-up somewhat reminiscent of the old Player Exclusives worn by Penny Hardaway and Nick Anderson. Also, there's a Black/Silver/Red pair that will pay tribute to Johnny Kilroy, a fictional character played by Michael Jordan to promote the Air Jordan IX in commercials during his brief mid-90s retirement.
Because Jordan brand needs new ideas we get another retro. Tomorrow is a pretty big day for fans of the Jordan 9. The rerelease of the “Charcoal” colorway marks its first return since 1994 which ends a 1.5 decade long wait to get a new pair. The shoes tonal look is achieved with a blend of black and grey suede along with a black gloss midsole. Varsity Red is found on the branding to finish things off lovely. Look for these on shelves tomorrow.
