The Air Jordan 1 'Baron' was introduced in June 2008 as a part of the Opening Day pack. Crafted to pay homage to Michael Jordan's short-lived professional baseball career, the sneaker features a white leather upper, adorned with black pinstripes and intricate baseball-stitch detailing. This design element is a nod to the distinctive home uniform sported by the Birmingham Barons, the Double-A Southern League team that Jordan briefly played for in 1994.
