The Air Jordan 2010, the line’s twenty-fifth model and retroactively the Air Jordan 25, came in 2010 at a hundred and seventy dollars, designed by Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith. Its signature feature was a see-through TPU window on each side, meant to symbolize Jordan’s court vision, an idea more poetic than practical.

It marked the line’s twenty-fifth anniversary with a lightweight, tech-forward build, but like the rest of the year-named era it landed as a statement of engineering rather than a cultural hit. The numbers were gone and the spotlight had shifted firmly to retros of the classics.

Retro presence is limited, which keeps the 2010 a collector’s curiosity. It is a handsome, strange shoe from a brand still figuring out how to move its signature line forward while its past was outselling its present.
