Michael Jordan’s baseball career is one that many ignore due to his lack of success on the field and he realized it as well as he headed back to the hardwood in time for the 1995 NBA Playoffs. Jordan’s playing days with the Birmingham Barons and Scottsdale Scorpions were short in number, so any piece of memorabilia collected from that period is rare and valuable. While playing baseball, MJ wore a modified Air Jordan IX that was fitted with a cleat and up for auction is a pair that is not only autographed, but on display as well.

If you’re an Indianapolis Colts fan, there isn’t much to be happy about this season. They are currently the only NFL team without a win and Peyton Manning won’t be coming back anytime soon while he recovers from his neck injury. One of the few bright spots on the once Superbowl contender is defensive end Dwight Freeney who still plays every down as if it was his last. Jordan Brand recognized his excellence at his position by adding him to their roster and giving him these Air Jordan III player exclusives. These are very similar to former teammate Marvin Harrison’s IIIs in that they feature the same color palette and have no Jumpman branding.

Now that the baseball season is over, decisions will have to be made. Will players on the edge of their careers try to make one last effort for glory or ride into the sunset?

Currently a New York Yankee, he rarely saw action this past season which is the exact opposite of his days in Atlanta. As a Brave, he managed to solidify himself as one of the best center fielders of his generation as well as being an offensive threat. In addition to showing prowess on the field, Jones had quite the impressive cleat selection. Jordan Brand laced him with many player exclusives including this one which is similar to another cleat he wore as a member of the Braves.
