Back in 2018, the Air Jordan 9 “Bred” dropped with serious Chicago Bulls energy—and a whole lot of shine. This sneaker came dressed in a stealthy black upper, detailed with glossy patent leather and just enough red to say, “I’m still Team Jordan.”

Originally seen on the feet of NBA legend Jason Kidd and NFL star Warren Sapp, this was a player-exclusive dream come true. The tongue features bold “Air Jordan” text, and the heel boasts MJ’s iconic number 23 stitched in smooth style. The red Jumpman on the midsole is like the cherry on top of an all-black sundae.

Although it released years ago, this pair hasn’t lost its luster. In fact, it might be even fresher now thanks to the resurgence of retro Jordans. If you snoozed on them in 2018, you can still grab a pair on resale sites like StockX—but maybe bring your wallet’s A-game.

With a mix of premium leather, Bulls-inspired flavor, and basketball legacy, the Air Jordan 9 Bred 2018 is still a slam dunk. Whether you’re rocking them or collecting, this colorway continues to shine bright in the sneaker world.

So if your rotation’s feeling a little too quiet, this bold black-and-red banger might be your next power play.
