After a season of baseball, MJ finally realized where his niche was in the sports world.  These Air Jordan Xs were the exact kicks that MJ wore in his return to the NBA back in ’95 after his first retirement from basketball.  To commemorate his success in the basketball realm and to celebrate his return, the designers at Jordan made the creative move of putting a list of MJ’s feats by year on the outsole of the X.  The uppers of the shoe are made of pure white leather, while the ankle and eyelet areas feature black leather.  The actual eyelets are the stripes that match the outsole, in a fitting steel grey.  Note that the OGs have a special capped toe unlike the retros.  Also unlike the retros, these feature a Carolina blue Jumpman on the outsole, rather than a red one.
