Air Jordan 10 (X)

Michael Jordan announced his plans for retirement in 1993. Nike assumed that the NBA star would forever leave the game behind and, thus, decided to create a shoe to commemorate Jordan’s legacy. The Air Jordan 10 was meant to be that shoe.

These sneakers definitely serve to pay homage to Jordan with the soles bearing a timeline of Jordan’s career. This shoe also stands out from the rest because of its multiple designs. The makers of Air Jordan 10 initially went with the traditional leather strip that Jordan loved on his previous sneakers. They were surprised to learn that Michael no longer loved the strip laced across the toe box of the shoe and, thus, requested its removal. Focused on pleasing the client first, Nike removed the strip despite already releasing the first design of the Air Jordan 10 collection to the public. Now, there are two styles of the shoe from which customers may choose.

The original version of Air Jordan 10 sneakers was released in 1994. A second model of the shoe came out while Jordan was pursuing a career as a baseball player. Michael, of course, returned to the NBA after a stint with baseball. His legacy prior to his first retirement, however, is set in stone via the Air Jordan 10 sneakers.
