Air Jordan X Retro ‘Chicago’ – New Images
September 15th, 2011 by Aaron Hope | 72 comments

“I’m back,” he faxed, and we all went completely nuts. Michael Jordan returned to the NBA in the spring of 1995 after a meh-filled tenure in the Chicago White Sox’ farm system and basketball fans could not have been happier after having endured an NBA Finals the previous year where the main attraction was arguably a white SUV driving down the highway thousands of miles from the arena. As you’d know from first hand experience if you’ve ever played both games, it takes some time to get back into basketball shape after playing baseball all summer, and perhaps MJ himself was aware of this, as he came back in the unfamiliar ’45′ that graced his Birmingham Barons jerseys.
A new twist some sixteen years later, as the Air Jordan X Retro ‘Chicago’ that has been depicted in sample images alternately with the funky’23′ or ’45′ emrbroidery now appears to more closely reflect the original with simple white leather on the uppers of a silhouette you may have first come to appreciate on the CMFT Max Air 10s. These are part of Jordan Brand’s plan for starting 2012 off with a bang, and you can see more of this January ’12 drop after the jump. Let us know if they’re better with or without the embroidery, and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via SH











Stop it 5... The shoe looks way to plain it needs a 23/45 on the side or put red loops where the laces go bring out tge red more or fix the color of the mid sole to the OG color for all people that don't like it your 501 will cover the number if u no how to rock'em right @brandjordan slippin follow me @polokidjovonie

Yea Budy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2011 had all the retro shoes nd 2012 look like it going to be the same or even better

IF you dont get these, kill yourself. Whats up with the flat laces though?
Not sure bout dese yet. Def want black n grey Xs
These are mine .!!!!!!!!!!
I dont like 10's at all but these are crispy
Yo, 2012 is going to be incredible ! JB didn't fuck up on these. They look clean af. But correct me if I'm wrong...I see people complaining about the 23/45 situation. The OG's released with no stitching. & the ones with the 45 on em were MJ's player exclusives wrong ? So keeping it OG would just to leave it without any number on it. But anyways I can't wait for these.
man i love 10's......ONE OF THE BEST
well......there goes the hot water in my house lol
I WILL BE CAMPING OUT FOR THESE BAD MOFOS SINCE 2 DAYS BEFORE RELAEASE DATE
At lest 2 hours early befor they relaease
they should put the 45 on the side
These and only these should have the number on the side just like mike wore em. I'll take 45 or 23 at this point but since mike hates 45 doubt that number will see the light of day.
I can live with the red jumpman! So glad they left the 23 off too!
Must haves..........................
FIRE
SIGN ME UP..I WANT THESE FO DEF DO ..ONE OF THE ILEST #COLORWAYZ FOR THE #AIRJORDANX
nice!!! no 23 or 45 needed!
AWWWWWWEEEEESSSSOOOOMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!!!
:' )...Sweet baby Jesus..
meh.... hopefully the final product will have the black Jumpman and solid red sockliner in true OG form.
no way cuhz, they should always be a difference between og's and retros
greatness...Nov. to Feb. is a Jordan collectors dream
Yaaaaaaa Buddy!
I'm feeling these. Any news on the Seattle pair dropping? ....City of Reign!!!
I can't wait for these!!
These are lookin awesome. Red jumpman actually doesnt look bad at all on the back.
shoe looks GREAT, not trying to nit pick but why aren't the laces round? these are flat laces the fuck?
Im tryin to figure out the same shit.
The kick is great needs the 45!even better keep it OG.
I love'em but..........WHERE'S THE 23????????????? but anyway ill still cop
Man Since There's No Red Stripes To Bring The Red Out Least Keep The History On The Shoe Which Is '45/23 on the side shoe looks to plain in my opinion but def cop 3 pairs needed same for play off 12s in April its goin to be a crazy year for sneakerheads but JB please don't mess this shoe up either red Stripes or '45/23 on the side
Genius.....OG's have no number. Jordans PE's(if you know what those are) were the ones and the only ones with a 45 on the side. Tighten up
and they took the 23 off the side of the shoe....winning
Beautiful!
they look sooo much better without the 23!!! please keep it without the embroidery! and can these please be a limited release?? I want to see some better quality leather that the limited releases have.. not that plasticky leather... maybe have a special box too?
ok boss
