The two sweetest words to baseball fans are "Spring Training." However, fans are not the only ones excited about the start of the new MLB season. On Sunday morning, Aaron Judge arrived at the New York Yankees facility sporting a big smile and fresh pair of kicks.

It is no surprise that Judge is smiling or wearing a clean pair of Air Jordan sneakers. The newly-minted team captain is coming off a historic season where he broke the American League home run record and always did it in style.

With his place in the record books sealed and a new nine-year, $360 million contract signed, Judge can focus on leading his team back to the postseason. The 6'7" slugger seemed visibly relaxed as he strolled in on Sunday morning.

Judge showed up in a black hoodie, sweatpants, and sunglasses. Per usual, he let his kicks do most of the talking. Judge wore the Air Jordan 2 Low in the 'Responsibility' colorway. Below is everything fans must know about the old-school hoop shoes.

The Air Jordan 2 Low 'Responsibility' was released on January 28, 2023, for $225 in adult sizes. According to StockX, the shoes now have an average resale price of $200. Additionally, multiple colorways of the Air Jordan 2 are available at retail prices on Nike's website.

The 'Responsibility' colorway features a black suede upper sitting atop an off-white midsole with a dark grey elephant print. The shoes bring positive vibes, including a tag that reads, “Wear your shoes - show the world where you’ve been.” 

Judge appears refreshed, tranquil, and ready to burden the responsibility of leading baseball's most storied franchise. Spring Training is officially here, and fans cannot wait to see what Judge wears on and off the field.
