UPDATE 9/10: Following an exclusive look from Dexter Fowler, Jordan Brand has officially revealed the Air Jordan 5 as well as a first look at the Max 200. Both pairs were designed exclusively for the brands MLB roster and will not release to the public.
The Jordan Max 200 uses Wolf Grey, Valor Blue, College Navy, White and Volt with hits of Tiger Camo.

Additional details include player initials and a number representing their seniority in the exclusive group.
In honor of the silhouette’s 30th anniversary, the Jumpman baseball family was gifted a new twist on the Air Jordan 5.

Other design highlights include aged details, felt-like piping, a sunflower seed graphic on the insoles, individually numbered inner tongue stitching and a Jordan script on the heel that nods to classic baseball jersey fonts.
