The Air Jordan 10 was released during MJ’s retirement, so it will always carry an asterisk next to its name in the history books. The shoe itself is a visual celebration of MJ’s NBA achievements. A series of stripes partition the outsole, each highlighting Jordan’s accomplishments during his 10 seasons. In March 1995, Jordan announced his return to the NBA through a famously succinct press release: ‘I’m back!’ Less than two weeks later, MJ dropped a lazy 55 points against the Knicks wearing the unfamiliar number 45 jersey on his back and the AJ10 on his feet.
