834k3r Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 I saw an MLB game earlier this year, where one of the base umpires (U3, if memory serves) was wearing shiny (patent) black Air Jordans. My son (he's a shoe fan, especially of Jordans) helped my identify them. Found a pair on ebay that I'm going to try out next season: Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfe_man Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 I’ve thought about same pair. My only concern is the tread on real grass fields when wet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that too, but tried on a pair of my son’s (his are red and white mid-cuts, but identical tread pattern) then went onto my front lawn after the sprinkler system turned off. Stomped down and tried to slide, tried to slide my foot from planted; couldn’t get my foot to slide in either case. I think they’ll be okay. Worst case scenario: in real world situations they don’t work well, and I go back to my NB shoes I have now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUrbz Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 There are a lot of MLB guys wearing the Jordan 11 Jubilees. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyCat Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Jordan Jubblies? I'm, confused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyinr Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 https://www.nike.com/t/air-jordan-11-cmft-low-mens-shoes-XP9Ng3 These are pretty sweet. It would be a “nice field” only shoe though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ump Nick Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 They are the retro jubilees special edition for of course when Jordan was with the white Sox program the Barons I think with the blue 45 on the back and not the reg. 23! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUrbz Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 The Jordan 11's with the 45 on the back are the Space Jams. The shoe from when he played with the Baron's has some gray mixed in the black patent leather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue32 Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 Picked up a pair of these this summer and like them a lot: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing working against them is the (oppressively) high heat of the American southwest, potentially manifesting in popped air bladders either from field surface temperatures, or from “baking” them in your car while in, say, plate shoes. One more thing in favor of cooled changing / locker / storage rooms at game venues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got to use these on a wet field yesterday. Game was suspended (2 1/2 innings) and the rain was pretty constant. I had zero issues with traction. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concertman1971 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I am on my 2nd version of the Nike Roshe Golf shoe. Hands down the most comfortable base shoe I have worn. Traction is a 10/10 When the weather is REALLY wet, I bust out the TW 13 retros and the kids are impressed....LOL. Waterproof, easy to clean, and Traction is 100/10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
