The Release of the Jordan 10 Retro Black 2016

"I'm back". With those words in 1995, Michael Jordan ended his brief retirement and stepped back on the court to dominate again. Fans worldwide were elated, and MJ quickly returned to top form donning the Air Jordan 10 in the Chicago colorway. The number 23 was gone, replaced by 45, but sneakerheads knew the AJ 10 was a number worth owning.

The Story Behind the Air Jordan X Design

Although MJ never wore the previous iteration, the Air Jordan IX, on the court, they were designed while he was still suiting up as a Chicago Bull. Air Jordan designer Tinker Hatfield, who led the creations of the Jordan III through IX models, wanted the post-retirement X to signify a highlight reel of Jordan's most significant achievements from each of his seasons in the NBA. Like banners hanging from the rafters, the AJ 10's sole featured ten milestones representing Jordan the man and Air Jordan the shoe:

  • 85 ROOKIE OF YEAR
  • 86 63 POINTS
  • 87 SCORING TITLE
  • 88 DUNK CHAMP
  • 89 ALL DEFENSE
  • 90 SCORES 63 POINTS
  • 91 MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP
  • 92 MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP
  • 93 MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP
  • 94 BEYOND

Jordan 10 Retro Black 2016

Originally released in July 2005, the Retro Black Jordan 10 has a storied heritage. This particular 2016 Retro Black design includes an upper and a mudguard that feature all-black stingray leather. Scotch-grain leather paneling is introduced along the sneaker's tongue and along the upper ridge of the outsole, maintaining the same rich black color pallet. Metallic gold accents add a subtle pop of class to the shoe. The Jordan Brand's iconic Jumpman logo can be found on the heel counter, and Drake's exclusive "OVO" owl logo is stamped on the shoe's insole in a rich gold. This release was created to honor Toronto-based hip-hop star Drake, who hosted the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend.
