Jordan Brand looks to be paying homage to Michael Jordan's brief stint playing Minor League Baseball with a new colorway of his twelfth signature basketball sneaker. The upcoming "Black/Wolf Gray" Air Jordan 12 Retro has been given an unofficial nickname of "Barons" referencing the Birmingham Barons.

For readers looking to add to their holiday shopping lists, this Air Jordan 12 Retro “Blueberry” will arrive right on time. The pair, which has a SKU of CT8013-140, is currently expected to be released on Dec. 18 for a retail price of $210 from SNKRS and select Jordan Brand stockists.

Nike Air Jordan sneakers are a staple in the sneaker community. Every sneaker enthusiast has heard of them and no real collection is complete without a pair.
