| The Air Jordan X represents an important landmark in Jordan's basketball career. This represents Jordan's first retirement from the NBA. Inscribed on the soles of the shoes is a list of Jordan's accomplishments up to 1993. The list of accomplishments is as follows (1985–1994):
85 ROOKIE OF YEAR 86 63 POINTS 87 SCORING TITLE 88 DUNK CHAMP 89 ALL DEFENSE 90 SCORES 69 POINTS 91 MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP 92 MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP 93 MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP 94 BEYOND This shoe was also known as "the comeback sneaker" because while the Air Jordan X was in the production stages,retro jordans, Jordan was seemingly finished with basketball and had taken up the game of baseball. But as baseball went on strike, Jordan was left with nothing to do and decided to return to the game he had dominated for so many years. He returned to the game of basketball on March 19, 1995 wearing the Air Jordan X’s, but unlike many other of his shoes which had the number “23” engraved in them,air jordan shoes, the X’s had the number “45” on them because Jordan was forced to wear the number 45 because his old number 23 had been retired. Being the 10th anniversary of Air Jordans, different colorways of the 10s were released in different cities. The "Chicago Bulls" color way will release in Spring 2011. Collectors classify the Air Jordan line by release year and model: Originals (OG), Retros (shoes that have been recreated for sale to the general public),cheap jordans, Retro-pluses (Retro +, Air Jordans that are similar to the Original product, with more up-to-date changes), Player Exclusive (PE, Air Jordans that are exclusive to certain athletes in the realm of sports) and Samples. The Jordan Brand also produces a line of Team shoes, separate from the signature line of Air. |
