Jackie Robinson day hit the MLB last night, with players around the league paying tribute to that player by wearing the #42 on their jerseys. A few Jordan Brand athletes went above and beyond, sporting a special Jordan 6 Rings cleat on feet with a blue/white colorway and the 42 attached. Get a recap of Jimmy Rollins and Carl Crawford wearing these Jordan 6 Rings exclusives and stay tuned to Jordans Daily to find out what Jordan Brand outfits them with next.

The Jordan 6 Rings will hit the baseball diamond tonight in celebration of Jackie Robinson Day, as Jordan Brand athletes Carl Crawford and Jimmy Rollins will be wearing a PE cleat version of the silo. On the back end of the royal and blue combination is a bit of “42″ embroidery, paying respect to Jackie Robinson’s jersey number and his contributions of the game of baseball. On top of that, C.C. Sabathia has got a pair that he’s giving away to a lucky fan (Check his twitter for more info). See more on the Jordan 6 Rings “Jackie Robinson” exclusives after the jump.

When you think of Jordan Brand athletes Carl Crawford may not be the first one to pop up, but he is indeed representing the Jumpman out there on the baseball diamond (and making a good living doing so, ranking on Forbes’ Highest Paid Athletes list). Unfortunately he won’t be out there on said diamond anymore for this season but we caught in some slick looking Air Jordan XII player exclusives before his season ended, colored up to match his Red Sox uni.

Forbes recently broke down the top 100 earners in pro sports over the last year, with a handful of Jordan Brand superstars making the ranking. Their Big Three performed well as expected, with Dwyane Wade coming at #35 with $24.7 million, Carmelo Anthony at #44 with $22.9 million, and Chris Paul at #72 with $19.2 million. A handful of non-NBA athletes popped up on the list as well, including LaMarr Woodley, Derek Jeter, C.C. Sabathia, and Carl Crawford. Now you know where all that sneaker money is going. via Forbes
