The Air Jordan 10 Retro Rio Release of 2016

"I'm back." With those words in 1995, Michael Jordan ended his brief retirement and stepped back on the court to dominate again. Fans worldwide were elated, and MJ quickly returned to top form donning the Air Jordan 10 in the Chicago colorway. The number 23 was gone, replaced by 45, but sneakerheads knew the AJ 10 was a number worth owning.

The Story Behind the Air Jordan X Design

Although MJ never wore the previous iteration, the Air Jordan IX, on the court, they were designed while he was still suiting up as a Chicago Bull. Air Jordan designer Tinker Hatfield, who led the creations of the Jordan III through IX models, wanted the post-retirement X to signify a highlight reel of Jordan's most significant achievements from each of his seasons in the NBA. Like banners hanging from the rafters, the AJ 10's sole featured ten milestones representing Jordan the man and Air Jordan the shoe:

  • 85 ROOKIE OF YEAR
  • 86 63 POINTS
  • 87 SCORING TITLE
  • 88 DUNK CHAMP
  • 89 ALL DEFENSE
  • 90 SCORES 63 POINTS
  • 91 MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP
  • 92 MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP
  • 93 MVP/CHAMPIONSHIP
  • 94 BEYOND

Jordan 10 Retro Rio 2016

In celebration of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the Jordan brand released the Rio colorway with its City Pack collection onto the Air Jordan 10 silhouette in 2016. A Wolf Grey pebbled leather upper wraps the majority of this upper, and Obsidian accents come into play on the eyelets, laces, tongue, ankle top, heel tab, inner sock liner, and midsole. A RIO logo is woven into the lateral side of this sneaker in an Obsidian outline. Its outer sole is also coated in Obsidian, though it features 10 strips to commemorate Michael Jordan's biggest achievements that begin in Photo Blue on the heel and slowly transform into Green Glow at the toe. The Jumpman logo on the tread's heel is also coated in Green Glow.
