Air Jordan 9 "Super Freak" Expected Super Bowl Weekend 2027

It seems that Jordan Brand is planning to be part of the Super Bowl LXI conversation come February 2027.

According to the duo of X user @zSneakerHeadz and Sneaker Files, the eponymous imprint will release the Air Jordan 9 "Super Freak" retro on Feb. 13, 2027. Originally believed to be a faithful recreation of Randy Moss' Minnesota Vikings-inspired Player-Exclusive (P.E.) from more than 20 years ago, it's now being reported that the "Super Freak" pair will take after the former wide receiver's original signature shoe with Team Jumpman: the Jordan Jumpman Super Freak.

Renamed to Jordan Cover 3 in 2010, the silhouette marked an important chapter in Michael Jordan's label as it allowed it to make a grand entrance in the NFL in the year 2000. Moss' turf model debuted in "White/Black/Purple" and "Black/Silver" color schemes, with the former expected to return in 2027. The AJ9 "Super Freak" draws inspiration from this silhouette, abandoning the aforementioned Vikings P.E.-inspired makeover.

Stay tuned for more details about the special-edition retro as its Nike.com/Jordan release inches closer.
