Looks like just another plain ‘ol pair of the Air Jordan X ‘Steel’, right? This look-see sample from 2005 has one major distinction from the released version, and that’s the colored Jumpman on the outsole. The released version featured Varsity Red, so perhaps this sample pair was made to test out the blue and the yellow, ultimately selecting the red as the proper color. In any case, these Air Jordan samples are exceedingly rare, but once you have ‘em on your feet, nobody will even notice the difference! Check out the additional images below and you’d be surprised at how low the final bid price was considering these could possibly be one-of-ones. Interested?

Sure we’ve got the ‘Stealth’ version of the Air Jordan X on our hands now, but keep in mind that before there was ever Stealth there was Shadow. What makes this particular OG pair of the Air Jordan X ‘Shadow’ pretty special is the 45 embroidery up near the ankles, a detail marking Michael’s first return to the game after retiring his original number and one particular only to the sample versions. And if that wasn’t enough to make you covet this deadstock pair then keep in mind that they’re officially blessed by MJ himself, with his scrawl hitting across the front end. Continue reading for the full photos of the Air Jordan X ‘Shadow’ OG autographed 45 sample and take a look at this one-of-a-kind auction from cnoriega_2007 now on eBay.

Apparently the NBA heard us loud and clear when we said the NCAA boys have the NBA ballers clearly beat in the ‘Feet’ category, but this weekend’s collection of sneakers might flip that script. Starting off with Monta Ellis’ Air Jordan ‘Bred’ display, we caught a slew of awesome Air Jordans, Nike Basketball PEs, and St. Patty’s Day PEs that stole the spotlight from the Second Round of NCAA Tourney games. Josh Howard wore a White/Green PE of the Air Jordan XIII that was identical to the Ray Allen PE – with the exception of the ‘Ray’ logo on the tongue. Nate Robinson and Jared Jeffries wore the Air Jordan X ‘Stealth’, while a couple of Knickerbockers sported some awesome St. Patty’s digs – namely Carmelo’s Melo M8 and Mike Bibby repping the Jordan CP3.V. Amare Stoudemire and DeMarcus Cousins rocked their All-Star Game ‘Galaxy’ PEs, Ty Lawson got his ‘Dunkman’ on, and Kobe swapped out of the ‘Attack Strong’ insole for his Kobe VII ‘Lakers’. We’ve got an immense attack of NBA Feet below so take a good look and let us know who rocked the best kicks! via Yahoo

There’s so much heat being released this year that it’s actually getting hard to track all the high profile releases without utilizing a planner. Add in the relative ‘quiet’ built right into the name of the Air Jordan X ‘Stealth’ and you’re looking at a model that we still don’t know exactly where to pencil in. This melange of black/grey/white tones is another one of those time capsule looks for early 2012, but just how long after February’s ‘Old Royal’ we’ll have to wait remains something of a mystery. We’ve got some new images that really emphasize the contrast between the ‘Stealth’ AJ10′s various dark shades, so click through to see more and stick with Sneaker News for the release date. via HoopCity

2011 saw Jordan Brand jumping in on the Black History Month motif, but they were noticeable absent from this year’s collection. With that being said, it’s easy to imagine the Air Jordan X ‘Stealth’ pictured here as a BHM release-swap in a little gold on the detailing and you’re good to go. That’s not the case though, as these are sticking with the stealthy look that comes quite opposite to the white based trend the Air Jordan X has stuck with for 2012. Follow us after the jump for some extra shots of the upcoming Air Jordan X ‘Stealth’ and check back for info on when these will hit stores. via AGS
