One of the best Air Jordan models that ever showcased by Michael Jordan is the Air Jordan 10, the shoe that welcomed him back to the game. The Air Jordan 10 is a union of attributes from the premier models namely the Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 5, and Air Jordan 6. The uncomplicated yet stylish design that this particular shoe owns is a distinct element that is not present on other AJ models.

Back on the shelf lately, this Air Jordan 10 switches colors slightly from the previous releases. Instead of flaunting the basic OG colorway with the navy and white combination, here now is the old royal that is indeed simple in its combination.

From its white base made of leather pops out an old royal mesh insert along the collar and lace paneling leaving a visible background to the stealth lace hoops for the speed lacing system, and a bold tongue that reads, “Air Jordan 23”. The sole is a combination of old royal and stealth that features MJ’s awards during his reign. A plaid-like design is how the inner liner is done in the same old royal/stealth combo.

Stay tuned for the release of this Air Jordan 10 by February 11^th at selected Air Jordan outlets including Atlanta Got.
