You’ve waited long enough. The Air Jordan 10 “Shadow” is officially coming back. Jordan Brand has confirmed the release date, design details, and retail price. This isn’t just a rumor. Official retailer images have surfaced. You’ll see them on sneaker shelves before winter hits.
Grey nubuck wraps the upper. Black pebbled leather frames the toe and heel. Red Jumpman logos subtly pop at the back. Inside, you’ll find a checkered lining that quietly nods to mid-’90s flair. The outsole? It still lists Michael’s career milestones up to 1993. That detail remains untouched.
Remember, these shoes were released while MJ was chasing his baseball dreams. Tinker Hatfield designed them without knowing if Jordan would wear them again. When Jordan returned in 1995, he wore these with “45” stitched near the ankle. This retro skips that number. It sticks to the original public version.
The “Steel” version came back earlier in 2025. That one had the leather toe cap that Jordan hated. This “Shadow” avoids that drama. It has cleaner lines. Smoother silhouette. It’s inspired by an old salesman sample, just like the new Jordan 1 Hi 85 “Shadow 2.0.” Consistency matters to collectors. Jordan Brand understands that now.
Will these pairs sell out quickly? Probably. The “Steel” restock didn’t stick around. Assume scarcity unless told otherwise. Don’t sleep on raffles. Don’t wait until launch day to decide. Have your payment method ready. Know your size for this model. Some say it runs small. Others say it’s true to size. Try it on if you can.

This drop is part of a wild November lineup. Travis Scott collabs: “Black Cat” 4s. Five different Jordan 11s. Even the Jordan 12 “Taxi” joins the party. But none of them carry the quiet confidence of the Air Jordan 10 “Shadow.” No flashy colors. No celebrity tags. Just heritage. Just history. Just heat.
If you lived through the ’90s, these shoes will feel like home. If you’re newer to the culture, consider this your invitation to learn more. Wear them with jeans. Rock them with joggers. Let the gray fade naturally. These aren’t museum pieces. They’re meant for sidewalks, courts, and city blocks.
