A few nights ago Sneaker News gave you a look at the Air Jordan IX ‘Oregon State’ PE in the school’s colorways of White/Black/Orange. While the Oregon/Oregon State rivalry is as heated as any other intra-state grudge out there (do NOT get us started on Alaska U.

These aren’t nearly as jaw-dropping as those game-worn Air Jordan IX cleats we showed you a few months ago, but a sneaker that will likely not release ever again is always worth a look. Here’s a look at a Black/White-Metallic Silver Air Jordan IX with a black patent leather mudguard and white midsole

This January was filled with hope for University of Oregon students and fans, but the month will probably be remembered for things just outside your reach more than anything.  The Ducks came up short in the BCS National Championship game against Cam Newton’s Auburn Tigers, and a significant buzz began with sneakerheads clamoring to find out more about the UO Air Jordan IX PEs .  These black nubuck Nines were given to the Ducks for their team media day and though they appear unlikely to ever see a retail release, a few are still circulating online, including a deadstock pair in US mens size 11 that just popped up from zach13g on eBay .

Much has been made of Michael Jordan wearing a pair of Anfernee Hardaway’s Nike Air Flight Ones in the 1995 NBA Playoffs, but did you know that Penny also had a pair of custom Jays?  And we’re not talking about a hatchet job like MJ did to carve away the 1-cent logo from his Air Flight One ‘PEs’, but rather a full on Air Jordan IX player exclusive colorway created for the guard who best carried the torch Mike’s marketing magic when His Airness left the hardwood for greener pastures.  And talk about ending up in a beautiful place; this Penny AJIX PE from Hardaway’s 1993-94 rookie campaign certainly has what it takes to compete with the best Air Jordan 9 special makeups out there.  Where does it rank in your own opinion?  Click through for more angles to aid in your decision and stick with Sneaker News for more historic hidden gems.  via kjacobsen53 on ISS Read the rest of Air Jordan IX – Penny Hardaway Magic Away PE © Sneaker News , 2011. | Permalink | 10 comments | Add to del.icio.us

Chris Brown’s been a familiar face in Sneaker News Celebrity Feet features, and that’s no surprise because he’s been in the Jordan game for quite a while.

When the CEO of Nike went to your school, you know you’re set when it comes to athletic gear. Nike often uses the Oregon Ducks to showcase the best and brightest Nike technology, but it was a pair of redone sneakers originally from 1994 that had us aghast. Jordan Brand outfitted the Oregon Ducks players with this tonal-black suede Air Jordan IX Player Exclusive for Media Day, as the Ducks football team was preparing for the National Championship Game

Michael Jordan never wore the Air Jordan IX as a member of the Chicago Bulls, only later turning to the Cool Grey edition as a Washington Wizard in the early ’00s.  It was a shoe designed for an NBA season that never happened for Jordan, his departure from the league for literally greener pastures leaving the basketball world in shock.  And yet we might be able to produce an even bigger look of disbelief on the faces of most sneakerheads if we showed you this pair of Air Jordan IX samples from 1993, a look at what could have been from the shoe that carries that same speculative spirit.  These joints are a 5/8ths cut with vaguely Air Jordan XX3-like argyle stitching on the side panels, a look that in combination with the significantly different tongue might have indicated a possible ‘I.E.’ release in the style of the original AJXI lows.  This black and white pair features reverse Jumpman insignias on both heels and has us wondering how well they would have done if this version had hit retail instead.  Click through to get a better look, let us know how they compare to the AJIXs we’ve come to know and love and stick with Sneaker News for more rare gems from the annals of sneaker history.

Luck was definitely on our side the past couple of nights because we got a look at some great sneakers around the league. Starting off with last night’s games, the New York Knicks had more than luck (try a team record 20 3-pointers) as they took down the Grizzlies in fashion

Michael Jordan had a penchant for using animalistic prints on his sneakers – the first of which was elephant print on the Air Jordan III. The use of animal print was one of MJ’s first requests when he was discussing his third Air Jordan shoe with designer Tinker Hatfield, and as we all know, Tinker delivered

Here’s a double-dose of some NBA Feet Air Jordan action. Gilbert Arenas wore the Air Jordan IX in the OG White/Black-Varsity Red colorway during Orlando’s match-up against the Sacramento Kings. Up North, Amir Johnson of the Toronto Raptors grabbed our attention by wearing the Air Jordan XII in White/Varsity Red .
