Air Jordan X Retro

on january 21, air jordan x, one of michael jordan's signature signatures, will be released to the public for the first time since the return of his airness in 1995. after his retirement from basketball to play major league baseball for two nba seasons, jordan wore these shoes while wearing jersey number 45. in his comeback season, he played 17 regular season games, averaging 26.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. the bulls advanced to the playoffs, only to be knocked off by eventual runner-up orlando magic led by the dynamic duo of shaquille o'neal and penny hardaway.

since i'm "retired" from the sneaker game, i am not copping these joints. but watching the video (courtesy of nicekicks.com) posted above brings back memories of his wearing those kicks. my favorite highlight is the last play on the video where he made the game winning buzzer beater against the atlanta hawks, and knocking the hardwood in celebration.
