Air Jordan 10 Retro "Steel" 2025 HJ6779-104

The Air Jordan 10 returns in 2025 with the “Steel” colourway, a design that first appeared during Michael Jordan’s mid-90s comeback. Created by Tinker Hatfield during MJ’s first retirement, the AJ10 became a symbol of transition — from the uncertainty of a post-Jordan league to the shock of his return to the hardwood. The “Steel” edition, with its clean white leather upper, light grey overlays, and black detailing, captures that era’s balance of simplicity and precision.

This retro stays faithful to the original blueprint. The smooth leather construction and distinctive striped lace loops remain intact, offering the same structured fit that once supported MJ on the court. Underfoot, the outsole retains its unique storytelling element — each groove marks one of Jordan’s career milestones up to that point, from scoring titles to championships. This design detail makes the AJ10 stand apart from other models in the Air Jordan line, turning the sole into a historical record.

Fans will notice the familiar IYKYK quirk that has long been associated with the “Steel” colourway. It’s subtle but adds to the nostalgia factor for those who remember the shoe’s first release. While other retro models rely on bold graphics or updated materials, the “Steel” keeps its edge through restraint and authenticity.

For collectors, this release ties directly to the original 1995 drop, offering a piece of Jordan Brand history that remains relevant both on and off the court. Whether appreciated for its design, its backstory, or its connection to MJ’s comeback, the Air Jordan 10 “Steel” continues to hold its place in the brand’s heritage.
