From Michael Jordan to Deion Sanders, these particular athletes are able to elevate to levels that require you to always pay attention. Despite the team you may root for, you always tune in to these select few, and during his storied career\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/tag\/derek-jeter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Derek Jeter<\/strong><\/a> was among those few. In honor of his triumphant walk-off single in his final Yankees home game, we present the five most iconic sneaker moments within <em>The Captain&#8217;s<\/em> career. Flip through the pages below and let us know in the comment section some of your favorite Jeter moments.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Final All-Star Game<\/h2>\n<p> Despite the controversy involving a &#8220;grooved-pitch,&#8221; Derek Jeter starred in his Final All-Star game in 2014, as he was able to capture two hits and a run scored. While this moment came during a mere exhibition game, the footwear displayed by The Captain turned many heads as it served as a direct homage to his historic career. Sporting the <strong>Jordan Jeter Lux<\/strong>, this commemorative Jeter signature employed laser etched imagery throughout the upper that showcased detailed visuals about his illustrious career. In addition, Jordan Brand\u00a0produced this incredible commercial to commemorate the event. <!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>4. Walk-Off In Style<\/h2>\n<p> With Jeter retiring at the end of the 2014 season, many fans envisioned what would be the perfect send-off to a remarkable career. However, in the Yankees final home game on September 25, 2014, Derek Jeter brought many fans&#8217; dreams to reality as he hit a walk-off single to win his final game at home as a New York Yankee. What seemed to be a major theme of his final season, Jeter donned a pair of his signature <strong>Jordan Jeter Lux<\/strong>\u00a0cleats that utilized a Yankees themed aesthetic. MJ ended his Bulls career in iconic fashion and Derek Jeter ends his Yankees career in a similar manner.  <!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>3. Jeter Becomes Mr.November<\/h2>\n<p> The 2001 season presented trying times for the New York Yankees as the unfortunate events of September 11th casted immense levels of despair across America. However, with many families experiencing\u00a0pain, Jeter and the Yankees helped provide some solace\u00a0as the veteran laced team garnered a spot in the <strong>2001 World Series<\/strong>. Despite having\u00a0the support of the entire United States, the Yankees trailed going into Game 4. With two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, Jeter hit a tenth-pitch walk-off home-run to tie the series up at two games a piece. The superstar shortstop did all of this while wearing\u00a0a Yankees themed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/tag\/air-jordan-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Air Jordan 9 PE<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0Although the Yankees lost in 7 games, Jeter cemented his legacy and a new nickname derived from his play:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V6jWXg6orGQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em> Mr. November<\/em><\/a>.  <!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>2. Mr.3,000<\/h2>\n<p> The number 3,000 to baseball players and baseball fans alike is a number that is synonymous\u00a0with excellence.

On <strong>July 9th, 2011<\/strong>, Derek Jeter became only the 28th player in Major League history to earn 3,000 hits. The future Hall of Famer did so while rocking his signature <strong>Derek Jeter DJ 3k Cleats<\/strong>. The aforementioned name itself seemed to foreshadow his impending milestone. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/tag\/jordan-brand\/\">Jordan Brand<\/a> even produce a pair of DJ3k trainers in order to further commemorate the distinctive moment for the then 36 year-old shortstop.  <!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>1. Jeter Cements Dynasty<\/h2>\n<p> By 2000, Derek Jeter was respected around many circles as being well on his way to becoming the next &#8220;Great Yankee.&#8221; Like the legends prior, Jeter would be able to ascend to new heights as he dominated the <strong>2000 World Series<\/strong>, thus cementing the Yankees dynasty as it would mark three straight titles. \u00a0In addition, Jeter received his first and only World Series MVP during this particular Fall Classic. While the accolades are momentous, it is even more impressive to know that Jeter excelled all while sporting an all-black PE of the the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/tag\/air-jordan-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Air Jordan 11<\/strong><\/a>.
