The stars are in Arlington, Texas as the 2024 MLB All-Star Game will feature the game’s biggest names with Jordan Brand athletes at the center of the plate.
Jordan Brand’s crossover to the diamond dates back to Michael Jordan himself with his brief stint with the Birmingham Barons in 1994.
In the last few years, Jordan Brand has fortified its commitment to baseball with major signings and even performance-focused releases.
Ahead of the 2024 season, the brand signed Elly De La Cruz and William Contreras as the brand expanded its presence beyond the bounds of basketball. Both De La Cruz and Contreras will represent not only the National League but the Jumpman as well, 30 years after his Airness stepped up to the plate.
Joining De La Cruz and Contreras at the All-Star Game are Aaron Judge, Mookie Betts, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who has his own Air Jordan 10 PE.
Vlad Jr.’s AJ10 commemorates his 2023 Home Run Derby win at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Other details include a chrome leather upper and crackled underlay, mirroring the Home Run Derby trophy. Additionally, the pair features a red Jumpman logo and a red Vlad Jr. logo. Finally, the translucent outsole includes his 27 (jersey number) featured on one outsole and 72 (HRs hit in Derby win) on the other.
But Vlad Jr. won’t be the only one incorporating the Jordan Brand legacy onto the field tonight as the Air Jordan 3 Baseball Cleat “Black Cement” will make an appearance as well and is available now on Nike.com and select retailers.
The cleat symbolizes Jordan Brand’s stake in baseball, seamlessly bridging the gap between the GOAT and America’s pastime — further emphasizing Jordan Brand’s omnipresence of excellence in every sport.
