SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

I'm back once again with my Archive pick for October 2008. I know most of you remember your first pair of Air Jordans, and here's my story. Enjoy.

This original Chicago edition Air Jordan X features the number #45 stitched in red and outlined in black on the upper. A player exclusive for the greatest player ever,

As we reached the twentieth anniversary of the Air Jordan, 2005 also marked the return of the Air Jordan X. This is the card issued in 2005 for all the Air Jordan 10 Retro colorways released. The front features a black and white picture of the bottom half of MJ wearing the original Air Jordan [...]

This box was used in 1993-1994 for the original Air Jordan X. It is the same one issued for the past two Air Jordan models (VIII & IX). It contains a black box top with the “J o A r I d R a n” logo and red Jumpman on it with the Nike Air [...]

As Michael finally regains his senses, gives up the game of baseball, and returns to the NBA we finally get a "Chicago" Air Jordan X. This is the colorway that MJ wore when he returned to the court in 1995 and wearing a new number, number forty-five rather than his trademark twenty-three.

This colorway is also a part of the "city series." This original Air Jordan X is for Seattle. This was a limited regional release as well. The colorway was inspired by the NBA team the Seattle Supersonics uniform colors.

Here is another colorway in the city series of the original Air Jordan X's. This one represents Orlando and is inspired by the colors of the Orlando Magic. They made one of the first player exclusives out of this colorway for Nick Anderson who played for the Orlando Magic at the time.

Continuing on with the city series, we now have the "New York" Air Jordan Retro X. This colorway was inspired by the New York Knicks. This was a limited regional release like the others in the city series. Many people get the New York and Orlando colorways mixed up as to the naked eye you really cannot tell them apart.

Now you should all know by now what colorway this is. The "powder blue" Air Jordan X as it is nicknamed from the box description was inspired by the colorway of the UNC Tar Heels. This colorway also features the unique "timeline" on the soles.

As Michael Jordan is currently playing for the Chicago White Sox Triple A team the Birmingham Baron's, it's only right that when the new Air Jordan model releases we get a colorway inspired by them. This colorway is the first in awhile to be released ahead of a traditional Chicago Bulls colorway.
