The Air Jordan 10 "Red Steel" officially returns March 20th, 2027 for $215. The style code is HJ6779-100. Nike SNKRS, Foot Locker, Finish Line, JD Sports, and DTLR are all expected to carry it.
This marks the colorway's first-ever retro after 22 years. White tumbled leather covers most of the upper here. Varsity Red hits the eyestays, laces, collar, and tongue for that classic Bulls-inspired look.
Light steel grey rounds things out across the eyelets, lining, and outsole. That combination gives the shoe a clear connection to the earlier "Steel" Air Jordan 10, just swapping in red instead of blue. The shape is expected to lean closer to the original 1994 performance build rather than a modern reinterpretation.
This colorway originally released back in 2005, right after Jordan's first NBA retirement. It never carried the same weight as some of the model's other releases at the time. Even so, it's built a steady, quiet following over the past two decades.
This continues a broader run of 2000s Air Jordan 10 retros, following a women's exclusive "Hydrangea" release earlier in the year.
Air Jordan 10 “Red Steel”
The Air Jordan 10 was never as big as models like the 11 or 4 within the broader lineup. Jordan only wore it briefly following his first retirement, and it's often gotten overshadowed by shoes with bigger on-court moments attached. Still, that hasn't stopped it from building a loyal following among certain collectors over the years.
"Red Steel" fits right into that underdog reputation. It's clean, wearable, and easy to pair with almost anything, which has helped it age better than some louder colorways from the same era. Twenty-two years without a retro only added to how hard it's been to track down a decent pair.
Given how much attention early 2000s Jordan releases have gotten lately, this feels like the right moment for "Red Steel" to finally get its shot. For collectors who've kept this one on their list for years, March 2027 should be worth the wait.
