On October 6, 1993, Michael Jordan announced his first retirement, citing a loss of desire to play the game. This was at the time when the Chicago Bulls have won 3 NBA Championships back-to-back, the murder of his father due to a robbery, and having some gambling problems. MJ quit the NBA and signed a deal with the Chicago White Sox minor league affiliated “Birmingham Barons”.
Unlike the past Barons inspired pairs, this current one does not spot any pinstripes, while the black upper is made our of a sturdy nubuck upper instead of the past Cordura mesh. Similar like the AJ11 “72-10”, this pair also dons an iridescent-like sheen on the mudguard and an added metallic silver for a finishing touch.
The AJ11 Low “Barons” will be on sale this Saturday (27/5/17) on Nike.com and at selected retailers in Malaysia.
