Pics Of The Air Jordan 2010

JB works its way through the post-XX3 era.

by Chris O’Leary/olearychris

The NBA went through its post-23 era after Michael Jordan’s retirement(s) and now it seems that Jordan Brand itself is in that grey area. After a less than successful run with the Air Jordan 2009/2K9/XXIV, Jordan Brand is back with its second edition of their signature shoe in the post-Air Jordan XX3 era.

Sketches of the Air Jordan 2K10 have bounced around online for the last few months, but today an actual pic of the shoe has popped up on Freshnessmag.com’s site.

The large, round Jumpan logos on each side of the shoe are a new feature, while the shoe looks to channel elements from past models as well. I’m seeing parts of the XX3 in there, maybe the XX on the outsole, shades of the VII in the patent-looking triangles on the outside of the toebox.

What do you guys think? Is this an improvement on the 2K9? What does this shoe do for you?

Thanks to Kicksonfire for the heads up on Freshnessmag’s post. Pics via osneaker, who apparently has already sold out of the limited quantity they had of the shoe.

    First. Ugly.

  • thalilbigkahuna Posted: Nov.6 at 4:22 pm
    I’m not even gonna lie, these are ugly. From what I see in these pictures anyway.

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Nov.6 at 4:53 pm
    Pretty nice, but they look heavy.

  • Anton Posted: Nov.6 at 5:03 pm
    Throw in the towel (assuming it’s not branded with the Jordan logo)

  • d.j. Posted: Nov.6 at 5:44 pm
    is that a f***ing speaker in the middle ?

  • doyouwantmore Posted: Nov.6 at 5:45 pm
    They look like snowboarding boots.

  • JB Posted: Nov.6 at 5:47 pm
    Uninspired and tacky.

  • Young C Posted: Nov.6 at 5:54 pm
    they look futuristic. But they do look heavy though.

  • TMT Posted: Nov.6 at 5:58 pm
    The 23 and the colour look like a lebron special makeup doesn’t look like an AIR Jordan shoe.

  • Andrew Posted: Nov.6 at 6:16 pm
    This sample has been around since August - don’t be surprised if it drops in a slightly different make up… I saw this at Nike’s Australia headquarters then… a lot lighter than it looks, but a bit… ugly. Then again, everyone thinks the ‘new’ AJs are ugly at first glance. Then ya get used to them - they are always totally polarising.

  • Chris O'Leary Posted: Nov.6 at 6:22 pm
    @TMT Remember, that 2 on top of the 3 has been around since at least the Jordan XI. And I think Andrew’s got a point. Just about every J is hated when it first drops, just like the LeBrons have the last few years as well. Most of them have won people over as the season progressed.

  • Orlando Green Posted: Nov.6 at 6:40 pm
    Not pretty, but looks like they could be pretty good for ball though

  • Pardeep Posted: Nov.6 at 6:41 pm
    UGLY. Jordan Brand has to step there game up Im not feeling the shoes they have been dropping lately other than the Melos. These are nasty they look like Kobe IV and D-Wade Converse shoes mixed with a speaker in the middle.

  • thesubwayconnection Posted: Nov.6 at 7:02 pm
    The toebox is good. The rest of the upper is not. There’s too much going on - which is a bad thing, and a move away from the clean look of the last few successful J’s.

  • San Dova Posted: Nov.6 at 7:36 pm
    I’ll be interested to see the specs on this shoe. There’s no tellin’ how much has gone into this. Good stuff, Chris.

  • gula Posted: Nov.6 at 9:40 pm
    i feel sorry for any one on TEAM JORDAN who has to wear these, and im just being honest

  • BETCATS Posted: Nov.6 at 9:45 pm
    the world abomination gets thrown around a lot these days…

  • mike Posted: Nov.6 at 10:08 pm
    i like them

  • balldontlie Posted: Nov.7 at 1:54 am
    HOLY CRAP!

  • Nappysupreme Posted: Nov.7 at 2:19 am
    Easily some of the ugliest kicks I’ve ever seen. Whoever endorses brand Jordan these days must be getting paid a grip to wear those things.

  • Hoodsnake Posted: Nov.7 at 10:02 am
    Looks a bit nondescript in black…the sole kinda reminds me of the adidas KOBE- the audi one

  • The underrated one Posted: Nov.7 at 10:25 am
    at least its better than the jordan 2009 goddam the 09’s were ugly as hell

  • Gerard Himself Posted: Nov.7 at 10:40 am
    First impression: I’m not a fan. At all.

  • thedude Posted: Nov.7 at 11:16 am
    is this seriously the best they could come up with? this is worst than last year’s shoe.

  • Brad Long Posted: Nov.7 at 12:45 pm
    D-Wade left Converse for this?

  • boy sanchez Posted: Nov.7 at 1:56 pm
    It’s true that the shoe looks really heavy. But I wonder why…. Yeah, that’s it!!! Lebron just signed with the Jordan Brand!!!

  • boy sanchez Posted: Nov.7 at 1:58 pm
    Seriously now, that would be great…!

  • Zop Posted: Nov.7 at 10:22 pm
    WORST. JORDANS. EVER.

  • Hoodsnake Posted: Nov.8 at 4:46 am
    Worst looking AJs gotta be the XV’s nah. They brought out a dope SE model couple of years ago tho…

  • ab_40 Posted: Nov.8 at 8:21 am

  • K-man Posted: Nov.8 at 10:19 am

  • Roy Posted: Nov.8 at 1:49 pm

  • RedRum Posted: Nov.8 at 4:59 pm

  • don Posted: Nov.8 at 9:12 pm

  • charlieScott Posted: Nov.8 at 11:27 pm

  • niQ Posted: Nov.8 at 11:40 pm

  • DS44 Posted: Nov.9 at 8:23 am
    Why do they hate us?

  • Spaceship Jay Posted: Nov.9 at 11:58 am
    Tap-out.

  • Cizzo Posted: Nov.9 at 12:42 pm
    It’s time to gracefully bow out, it might be no it’s over for the Air Jordan signature series, just try to keep that Team Jordan line rolling, scrap the Af1\Jordan ideas it,s getting pitiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Spaceship Jay Posted: Nov.9 at 1:40 pm
    Tap-out now.

  • Coco Posted: Nov.11 at 5:23 pm
    I know I may sound as if I’m trying to be cool when I say this is ugly but to be really, really honest, this Jordan shoes is indeed very ugly.

    Jordans are known 4 being good 4 balling in, and also being a good jean sneaker. Can you imagine wearing these and thinking you look fresh? You’re going to look like a clown. They need to at least lose that logo on the side, I mean come on now

  • dmonz Posted: Nov.12 at 1:43 am
    uuuuuuuunggggggggghhhhhhhh

  • Ben Osborne Posted: Nov.12 at 11:10 am
    The real thing looks a lot better. I’ll be posting pictures momentarily.

  • DJ ODIE Posted: Nov.15 at 2:18 am
    What is this ? This is ugly, for sure .

  • Kamikaze Posted: Nov.15 at 7:15 am
    those shoes look….. ugly. I mean it looks heavy and it’s just too much. They should have made it a clean and simple shoe.

  • bNOTE Posted: Nov.16 at 12:05 pm
    THESE SHOES ARE NICE…ON ROBO-COPS FEET. LOL
