The 'Steel' Air Jordan 10 Is Releasing in August

Jordan Brand is planning to bring back the original "Steel" Air Jordan 10 this summer, and now a detailed look at the upcoming retro has surfaced.

Newly leaked retail shots of this year's "Steel" Air Jordan 10 retro were shared by @zSneakerheadz on Instagram this week, along with info suggesting that the pair will hit retailers on August 2.

Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the shoe was originally released in 1994 during Jordan's first retirement from the NBA. MJ wore the shoe on the court that year while participating in Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen's All-Star Classic exhibition game before returning to the league six months later.

One noticeable detail seen on this upcoming pair that hasn't been featured since it appeared on the original version is the stitching across the toe cap. As the story goes, MJ himself wasn't a fan of the look, and thus, the detail was scrapped from future releases.

At the time of writing, official release details for the "Steel" Jordan 10 have not yet been announced by Jordan Brand.
