Richard Hamilton may have retired from playing basketball, but that doesn't mean he still doesn't have a plug at Jordan Brand. Hamilton was a Jordan-sponsored athlete during his playing days, and it looks like he's still part of the family with his latest pair of early kicks. The former Detroit Pistons' star took to Instagram to show off his early pair of the Air Jordan 11 "72-10."

Dropping next month, this sneaker is expected to be one of the biggest Air Jordan drops of the year. We can expect that a lot of people will camp out for these, but Hamilton casually uploaded them with his son photo-bombing in the background. It looks like life after basketball is treating Hamilton pretty well.

This sneaker will release on Dec. 19, for $200.
