The Air Jordan/Air Force 1 Fusion collection has produced many models that even the mash-up sneaker skeptics had to give props. And, this AJF 9 just may be another one of those designs. Created by legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 9 (IX) was originally released in 1994 and meant to resemble the globalization of the Air Jordan brand name. The main design on the sneaker is a “rising sun” pattern, and it transferred to the Air Force 1 seamlessly, which makes for another successful mash-up.
