The Air Jordan 10 holds a special place in the history of the Air Jordan lineup. It was partially designed during MJ’s time on the baseball diamond as he hung up his Bulls jersey for a minor league uniform under the White Sox organization. Although the silhouette remained in the vault since 2020, 2025 marks its return, first dropping in the Steel Grey colorway. As part of the Holiday 2025 lineup, the Shadow rendition is returning.
Last retroing in 2018, the pair is expected to maintain its original construction with a shadow grey suede upper, now toted as charred grey, sitting atop a tumbled leather base layer in a black hue. More black is found on the midfoot and the collar overlays, while the black mesh is on the tongue. A red Jumpman logo embroidered onto the heel tab contrasts the primarily dark upper.
Inside, the sockliner takes on a checkerboard pattern in black and grey. Jordan branding is also on the tongue tag, featuring debossed Air Jordan and 23 text. Finishing the sneaker is the black foam midsole paired with a black and grey rubber outsole that denotes achievements from Michael Jordan’s NBA career. Unfortunately for fans of the toecap, a feature that never actually made its way to the retail version, this iteration will not feature the added overlay.
The Air Jordan 10 Retro Shadow will release in Holiday 2025 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $210.
