From wearing the most marvelous cleats to the ballpark to becoming the fifth MLB athlete to have signed with the Jordan Brand, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is making a comeback! Following New York Yankees Aaron Judge, LA Dodgers Mookie Betts, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Jays, and Derek Jeter, the young star is also the first of Bahamian descent to be signed to the iconic brand of the NBA great Michael Jordan. 

The athlete has been a brand ambassador for Nike and now his ascension to Jordan Brand has come as a dream come true for Chisholm. According to bleacherreport.com, “It means everything to me. You know, I’m always the guy that never really wanted to do the same thing as people, I always wanted to be one of a few, you know, I mean not one of many, so it’s great that this is what I always wanted and this is what I’m glad to be a part of.”
