Twenty years ago, America’s hero tried his hand at America’s game. Retiring for the first time, Michael Jordan traded in his sneakers for a pair of cleats, lacing up with the Chicago White Sox’s minor league affiliate. The Air Jordan 9 “Birmingham Barons” remembers his era in the outfield, re-dressing his signature of the time in his other team’s tones. A white leather upper gives way to a smooth grey mudguard, contrasted by a shiny black midsole. Pinstriped lining and #45 tagging play to Mike’s uniform, capping off this nostalgic colorway in fitting fashion. Take a look at detailed photos of the Air Jordan 9 “Birmingham Barons” from our own Kin Kwan below and look for these to launch at select Jordan Brand accounts on April 5th.
