The Nike Air Jordan 9 Retro Pinnacle 'Baseball Glove Black' is a part of the 2017 release commemorating Michael Jordan's time in minor league baseball with the Birmingham Barons and the Scottsdale Scorpions. This particular black pair pays homage to his days in Alabama, boasting a leather upper adorned with stitching that imitates a baseball glove. The heel features Jordan's Barons uniform number, 45, stitched onto it, while the tongue and midsole proudly display the iconic Jordan branding. To maintain an element of surprise, the shoes were sealed in a bag, leaving consumers unaware of which colorway they would receive.
