Air Jordan 10 'Shadow' Expected to Return in 2025
2025 is the Year of the Vault–at least in Beaverton. Over the past couple of months, rumours and leaks have continued to surface and 2025 is setting up to be one of those all-time years we will look back on fondly. Earlier this week, the joined the fray.
The Air Jordan 10 is an important model in the Jordan line. Although it was originally released during the 1994 to 1995 season when was still giving a career in baseball a go, it celebrates the first decade of MJ’s NBA career. The sneaker that conceptualised offers a uniquely designed striped sole that bears all the accolades Jordan amassed throughout the previous 10 years.
‘Shadow,’ which was last released in 2018, holds a special place in the Air Jordan 10 catalogue. Unlike a lot of Jordan 10 colourways, the ‘Shadow’ is dressed in a more subdued dark grey suede upper accompanied by black leather accents. This differentiating colour pallet has long been a favourite amongst sneakerheads.
The 2025 ‘Shadow’ is slated to include the hotly debated toecap. Original samples of the Jordan 10 included the toecap but it was later removed per Michael Jordan’s request. However, this was not until the inaugural colourway, , hit the shelves. Following MJ’s alterations, the model was pulled and updated before continuing to be released in other colourways. While ‘Shadow’, was never released with the toecap, the 2025 pair is set to honour those early samples by including it this time around.
The AJ10 ‘Shadow’ is currently scheduled for late 2025. Keep it locked here for updates and official images as they become available.
