Air Jordan 10 Retro "Shadow" 2025 HJ6779-001

The Air Jordan 10 Retro “Shadow” makes its quiet return in 2025, bringing back that timeless stealth appeal that true collectors know too well. First released in 1994 beside the “Steel” and “Powder Blue,” the “Shadow” colourway has always been the understated one — simple, sharp, and effortlessly cool.

This latest retro sticks close to the original blueprint. You get the same smooth mix of grey suede and black leather across the upper, matched with a black midsole and outsole. The pop of red branding on the heel breaks the darkness just enough to remind you this pair has history. And yes, it comes boxed in packaging inspired by the 1994 Jordan 1 retros — a subtle nod for those who appreciate the small details.

The AJ10 is more than looks, though. Designed by Tinker Hatfield during Michael Jordan’s first retirement, it carried a sense of tribute and legacy. Each groove on the outsole still lists MJ’s early achievements — from Rookie of the Year to his first MVPs — a timeline under your feet that celebrates his rise before the comeback.

This “Shadow” brings that story full circle again for 2025. It skips the toe cap seen on other versions and keeps things streamlined, staying true to what fans loved from the start. The shoe has made a few returns over the years, including a 2018 drop and a 2008 “Countdown Pack” edition, but this one feels closest to its roots.

Expect the Air Jordan 10 Retro “Shadow” 2025 to hit UK shelves soon, likely through Nike SNKRS and select retailers like Offspring and Size?. Whether you’re a long-time Jordan fan or just looking to add a versatile classic to your rotation, this pair deserves a spot. Simple. Authentic. Still shadows above the rest.
