Michael Jordan Wears J Balvin's Air Jordans at NASCAR Race
The NASCAR regular season concluded this past weekend, and Michael Jordan was one of the many stars in attendance. Since selling the Charlotte Hornets, Jordan has been seen living his best life domestically and abroad.
Every time the GOAT steps out of his house, it's newsworthy in the sneaker community. On Sunday, Jordan used the opportunity to wear an unreleased pair of Air Jordan sneakers that has drawn the attention of athletes, fans, and musicians alike.
As shown in the Instagram video above, Jordan can be seen wearing the J Balvin x Air Jordan 3 'Medellín Sunset.' The highly anticipated sneaker is the latest collaboration between Jordan Brand and the "Prince of Reggaeton." It is also another example of the synergy between Jumpman and the music world.
It should come as no surprise that J Balvin's latest sneaker is rumored to be released in extremely limited quantities. Just over 12,000 lucky fans (mostly resellers with bots) will be able to secure the kicks. Below is everything you need to know about the upcoming release.
