Since seeing Jordans on the court and on the street has become a staple within our society, we decided to dig through the past and present to see who've utilized the Air Jordan's cleated cousins on the gridiron, the diamond and/or damn near any other surface that isn't 94 feet of hardwood (pause, if applicable). So, with the MLB season underway, and the NFL season anticipating a lockout, let's take a look at the history of athletes bold enough – or with enough connections – to take their Jordans on the field.
