Air Jordan 9 “Gym Red” Returns May 22

The Air Jordan 9 “Gym Red” is expected to return in Summer 2027, bringing back the non-OG colorway for the first time since its 2019 release.

First introduced in 2019, the pair delivers a clean Bulls-friendly look with a white leather upper, matching mesh paneling, and a glossy Gym Red patent leather mudguard wrapping the lower half of the shoe. Black Jumpman branding and subtle black accents add contrast, while a white midsole and outsole keep the finish sharp.

While not part of the original Air Jordan 9 lineup, the “Gym Red” release has become one of the model’s more recognizable modern colorways. Its red-and-white palette feels familiar to the Jordan catalog, while the patent leather finish gives the silhouette a more polished edge.

The Air Jordan 9 has never been short on contrasting color blocking, and this pair leans into that with a simple but effective setup. The glossy red overlay does most of the heavy lifting, giving the shoe a standout look without overcomplicating the design.

The Air Jordan 9 “Gym Red” is expected to release on May 22, 2027 via Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers. More details are expected to surface closer to the release.

Stay tuned to our Jordan Release Dates Calendar for updates. Also returning in 2027 is the Air Jordan 11 Low "Cherry."
