These shoes are in absolute MINT condition! For sneakerheads, the seeming rash of releases coming from the Jordan brand has to feel like Christmas. The latest of those releases, the "Fontay Montana" retro Air Jordan IX, which will hit retail shelves on Oct. 13 and face rampant consumers trying to get their hands on a pair. Though every release from the Jordan brand receives high publicity, October has been a special month as the team re-launched the campaigns involving Michael Jordan's alter egos from his playing days. Montana played for a fictional team called the Gulls, whose colors starkly resemble those of the New York Knicks.
