Honoring the 20-year anniversary of MJ’s short stint with the Birmingham Barons, Jordan Brand has created two special edition retros in his baseball team’s colors. Although Mike never made it to the majors, he was instantly picked up by a minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, and that affiliation inspires these sneakers. The Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 9 “Birmingham Barons” feature the team’s black/white-grey color combination, as well as pinstripe detailing that is representative of the organization’s lined jerseys and pants. Get a full video review of the two makeups above, as well as a cameo by a cleated version of the AJ 9, and let us know if you’re swinging for a pair when they release April 5th in the comment section underneath.
