The Air Jordan 2010 marks the 25th Anniversary of the most iconic sneaker line of all time. Designed by footwear legends Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith, the 2010 features a clear window on the midpanel of the upper, an asymmetrical collar and a hidden quote from Michael himself. This year, the Air Jordan line is turning 25. Coming off the AJ 2009 designed by Jason Mayden, Jordan Brand taps into renowned designers Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith to craft the 25th Air Jordan. Continuing the unique style of the Air Jordan line, Hatfield and Smith went with a clear window on the side of the shoe meant to symbolize looking inside of Michael Jordan and his game. The midsole features a uniquely hidden quote from Michael. The asymmetrical collar makes a return to the Air Jordan line with a higher medial side of the collar and the lateral side dropping lower than normal. The 2010 has a clean toe and features a forefoot that is independent from the rest of the shoe, with a six-row stitch to hold the toe piece together. It features clear TPU in only the essential areas on the shoe. The lightweight Phylon™ midsole is carved out and contoured for the best on-court performance. A full-length Zoom Air™ unit is bottom-loaded inside the outsole of the shoe to disperse shock. That feature is borrowed from running shoes and has never been seen on a basketball shoe until now. The 2010 is a lightweight, great-fitting shoe that is low to the ground. It's built to feel broken-in on the first wear. It has a thinner Air bag that provides the player with a better ability to feel the floor. The sneaker caters to the modern basketball player who needs to get up and down the court faster and more often. It features a comfortable, glove-like fit assuring the shoe fits snugly against the foot. The protruding outrigger provides excellent lateral stability.
Michael Jordan’s influential footwear line continues to thrive, thanks in part to the many “retro” versions of his shoes. Air Jordan will continue to be a leader in style and performance for generations to come — and Footlocker.com is your destination for authentic Jordan retro shoes. Perhaps one of the most loved Jordan shoes ever created, the Air Jordan 6 featured key elements from Tinker Hatfield’s previous Jordan shoe designs, including a clear rubber sole and lacelocks. A creative twist was added to the VI — a rubber tongue with holes. Michael wore the Air Jordan 6 in 1990 when he won his first NBA Championship ring, making this shoe a legend in its own right. In 2010, keeping the same iconic design, the Jordan Retro VI was introduced and became an instant favorite of devoted Jordan fans and shoe collectors alike. In 1996, the original Air Jordan 12 was a completely new design for Air Jordan shoes — it featured a faux reptile print on the side of the toe, a full-length visible carbon shank on the outsole and a radiating sunburst pattern — and was the most durable Air Jordan to date. The Jordan XII was the first shoe to get the official Jordan Brand logo instead of the Nike swoosh. Michael Jordan, suffering from the flu, wore the Air Jordan 12 while putting together an all-time classic game to clinch the win against Utah en route to his fifth NBA title. First retroed in 2003, the Jordan Retro XII — nicknamed the “Flu Game” shoe — featured a “sick face” graphic along with the numbers 38 and 97 (38 for the number of points Jordan scored in the game and 97 for the year in which the game was played.) The immensely popular Air Jordan Spiz'ike is a fusion of all the best qualities of the Air Jordan III, Air Jordan IV, Air Jordan V and Air Jordan VI. This all-time favorite shoe pays homage to Spike Lee — known to Jordan fans as Mars Blackmon, the outspoken New York Knicks-loving Brooklynite from the 1990s Air Jordan commercials. Spike was a vital part of the marketing of the early Jordan line, providing creative influence for each of the shoes that make up the Spiz’ike. "Is it the Shoes? Is it the Shoes? Is it the Shoes? … It's gotta be the shoes." And it was the shoes! At first glance, the Air Jordan Retro 1 Alpha appears identical to the classic Air Jordan 1. Once you’ve worn them, however, the distinction is obvious. State-of-the-art synthetic materials used to build the upper make it 22% lighter than the original. The Alpha 1 has been bottom-loaded with full-length Zoom Air that gets you closer to the court and provides incredible cushioning. The inner lining has been reconstructed for a more comfortable, supportive fit. The outsole of the Retro 1 Alpha has been redesigned to offer improved traction while retaining the classic look of the AJI. Worn by team Jordan member Dwayne Wade, these retro Jordans became an instant classic of their own right. With these and other retro Jordan shoes, Footlocker.com is the ultimate source for Air Jordan. Whether you collect them to pay tribute to the greatest player the game has ever seen or wear them to maintain an image of refined taste and classic style, Jordan Brand Retro shoes always make an impressive statement.
In 2005, the Air Jordan Fusion broke new ground by combinding two of the most influential shoes in the history of basketball and sneaker culture. Jordan Brand took the upper components of different Air Jordans and fused them with the outsole of the Nike Air Force One. An instant classic was formed and a whole new shoe style was born — the Air Jordan Fusion. Recent releases of the Fusion line include the AJF IV, the AJF VII and the AJF 13. With colorways inspired by the Air Jordan IV, the AJF IV closely resembles the 1989 original, making it one of the more popular Jordan fusions. The Air Jordan IV — designed by Tinker Hatfield — was made immortal when featured in Spike Lee’s classic movie Do the Right Thing. The original Air Jordan VIII was released in 1993 as a high-performance pair of kicks MJ wore during his first NBA three-peat. The Jordan AJF 8 takes the look of the Air Jordan VIII and fuses it with the sole of the Air Force 1 to create a fresh, hybrid style. Unlike most Air Jordans Fusions, the AJF XIII does not feature a translucent midsole. Instead, the upper — reminiscent of the Tinker Hatfield-designed AJ 13 — is seated on a more streamlined outsole. Inspired by MJ’s cat-like playing style, both the original AJ 13 and the AJF XIII feature the “eye of a panther”— a round hologram on the upper — and a whisker-inspired upper carry the shoes’ “Black Panther” theme.
Finding the middle ground old-school appeal and new-school flair is never an easy feat, but the folks at Jordan Brand seem to have found that perfect balance with the Jordan Flight series. Take the Jordan Flight 45, a new style with classic Jordan inspiration featuring classic colorways on the low and mid versions and a strong 1980-1990s vibe on the high versions. Old school roots with modern technology means the Flight 45 offers superior cushioning and support — with Max Air in the heel and an Air-Sole unit in the forefoot — making the court the perfect stage to strut them. Destined to become a classic, the Jordan True Flight takes most of its design features from the Air Jordan Retro VII. The sole, side panel, back heel and even the tongue are very similar in style to the AJ 7s, but the full length Zoom Air allows for top-notch cushioning. Also featuring exceptional traction due to the improved herringbone pattern and seemingly flatter outsole, the Jordan True Flight is a must-have for ballers of all skill-levels. Combining the classic outline and sole of the Jordan I and some of the tooling and upper details of the Jordan IV, the Air Jordan 1 Flight is a performance shoe with a look sure to please the old-school connoisseurs. The 1 Flight’s midsole contains an air bag in the heel for enhanced cushioning and the outsole is solid rubber with strategically placed flex grooves for flexibility and grip.
