The Air Jordan 9 holds a special place in sneaker history. The old-school basketball shoe held up the Air Jordan signature line while Michael Jordan was away from the Chicago Bulls, playing Minor League Baseball for the Birmingham Barons.

At the beginning of March, a new iteration of the Air Jordan 4 dropped in a fresh Seafoam green colorway for women. Although the release didn't include men's sizes (much to their chagrin), it did include sizes for little kids and toddlers.
