Every Air Jordan worn by Michael Jordan during his playing days has a story. For the Air Jordan 10, it's about the comeback — Jordan's return from baseball in 1995. When Nike was prepared to close the door on the Air Jordan series, designer Tinker Hatfield insisted that MJ would return, crafting this tribute to the first half of Jordan's storied career.
Though it's one of the most simple designs in the line, the Air Jordan 10 is a favorite among collectors. Perhaps because the 'City Series' was one of the first times Air Jordans were specifically made to be collectible. Over the years, more than 20 different colorways have made their way to retail, but even more were scrapped before production. Here's 30 different Air Jordan 10 samples that never released.
