Jordans 10 was released in 1994/95. On March 19 1995, MJ was back on the floor. It seemed as if Nike wasn't expecting to see Jordan back in the game so soon. They started to re-release older models of the Air Jordans series. A list of MJ's accomplishments up to 1993 is inscribed on the soles of the Jordans 10. Apart from these soles the design of the Air Jordan 10 was no real surprise and was overall very plain. Hatfield picked up a few design elements from previous Air Jordans models and you could see some obvious signs of influence from the Air Jordan 3s, the Air Jordan 5s and the Air Jordan 6s. There were a lot of different team colors for the Jordans 10 that were produced in limited quantities and there were samples with numbers for a lot of different players in the NBA. As MJ wore number 45 when he returned there were also samples with #45 stitched on the Jordans 10. The Air Jordan 10 (X) Retro - Shadow Grey (Countdown Package 10 / 13) features a combination suede / leather upper, along with a black sole. The Jumpman logos, as well as the newly used "23″ at the ankle area" feature red color schemes, and are nice added touches. The inner lining features a nice, detailed, checkered design. The bottom of the shoe features a grey / black striped design which lists some of Michael's accomplishments. Other cool features include the easy lacing system, and inspirations from the Air Jordan 3 (III), Air Jordan 5 (V) , and the Air Jordan 6 (VI).
