Even if it doesn't feel like it, weather-wise, it is definitely boot season. It's a time for not only the standard stompers to thrive but also the handsome hybrids like the Air Jordan 9 boots.

This season looks bright for the Jordan 9 boots, which are quite literally shining in their new "Anthracite" colorway. It's hard to catch at first, since first impressions present a dark grey leather sneaker with shaggy suede touches.

But once the light hits it right, the boot's reflective details reveal this cool iridescent design. Then, it goes back to being a dark-mode winter stomper, complete with jagged soles and practical pull tabs.

Retailing for $240, the Jordan 9 Retro "Anthracite" boots are now available on Nike's website for those prepping their winter rotations.

Between the plentiful GORE-TEX Swoosh models and winterized Jordan sneakers, Nike has the cold-weather shoes on lock.
