AIR JORDAN X The Air Jordan X is the tenth sneaker in the Air Jordan legacy series, with the silhouette debuting in 1994. At the time of its release Michael Jordan had stepped away from the game of basketball, making his eventual return in 1995 in the Air Jordan X ‘Chicago’ from the famed city series collection.

The deep stories and events that shadow every Air Jordan in history is what made the Retro such a booming success, and as far back as 1994, Nike made sure that we were reminded of the message behind each design. Since the first Air Jordan Retros in 1994 during MJ’s first retirement to all OG and Retro colorways that hit stores in the late 90′s and 2000′s, a tw0-sided post-card detailing a brief history of the shoe as well as an iconic flashback image of the times came included with the shoes; these cards have been referred to as Retro Cards, and while some may have not given them much though, some sneaker collectors did their best to gather them all. With the Air Jordan Retro Card making a surprising come-back with the upcoming Air Jordan VIII Retros and the possibility of more Retro Cards with future Retro releases, it’s about time we took a look back at every single Retro Card that Nike ever put out – from the first ones in 1994, to the latest ones that came accompanied with a Doernbecher release. Enjoy this throwback piece below and let us know which you’re missing from your set!

The Air Jordan X “Steel” has been through a couple slight changes over the course of its retro treatment. When the sneaker came back in 2005 for example there was a red Jumpman hit on the bottom, where the OG had a light blue treatment down there. The 2013 version is alleged to have the alternate yellow/blue set up across the two sneakers, one that we’ve seen across the sample pairs that show up from time to time. This pair may or may not be of that persuasion, as only one outsole is on display (Featuring a yellow Jumpman for what its’ worth). Get a look at this unreleased Air Jordan X sample below and then check out the auction from oregonsole on eBay.

We close out tonight’s magnificent preview of Holiday 2013 Air Jordan Retro releases with a look at the Air Jordan X ‘Steel’ – another original from the 1990′s Air Jordan catalog. Despite being an original colorway, Michael Jordan actually never played in these, and with some rumors regarding a special detail on these focusing on the “Laney” concept, could we expect something similar to this unreleased sample of the Steel X, which featured blue and yellow Jumpman logos on the outsole, or could Jordan Brand re-do the outsole and add in some other highlights in Jordan’s high-school career? We’ve got another shot of this highly-anticipated Retro drop so take a look and stay tuned for more.

As the number of Air Jordan collectors grows every year, the set number of vintage sneakers from the line continue to get snatched up, passed around, and un-deadstocked.

Shown is a group of OG Air Jordans in various conditions, including the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan VI, Air Jordan VII, Air Jordan VIII, Air Jordan IX, Air Jordan X, Air Jordan XI, Air Jordan XII, and the Air Jordan XIII. Take a look at all the pairs rounded up in the group after the jump, then take a look at the auction to purchase them from quentinours on eBay.

If you’re new to the Air Jordan game, you probably have a whole lot of catching up to do. With nearly every original Air Jordan already gone through the Retro cycle (with a few making several comebacks), the available options to build your Air Jordan collection could keep you busy for months – or you can cop this sick 97-pair collection in one fell swoop. This particular lot includes only the Air Jordan 1 through Air Jordan XIII in sizes 10.5-11.0, but nearly every pair brand spankin’ new and there’s some serious heat in here (’94 Retros, Eminem IIs, the original DMP, etc.). The asking price, however, is at $45,000, which boils down to $463.92 per pair, but the comfort of completing a sick library of Air Jordans in just one click might be too tempting if you have that sort of dough to spare (free shipping, though). Check out the entire collection below, and be sure to check the full listing from babiiicakes26 on eBay.
