While considered an OG colorway, the Air Jordan 10 Retro 'Chicago' wasn't released until 1995, a bit after the Air Jordan 10s initial debut in 1994. Despite being released when Jordan was pursuing a career in baseball, he laced up the Air Jordan 10 'Chicago' for the 1995 NBA season after making his long-awaited return. The 2012 Air Jordan 10 'Chicago' featues many of Jordan's career highlights inscribed in the sole. The 2012 retro is also notable because unlike the 2015 Jordan 10 Retro 'Chicago', this 2012 version does not have the original '45' number embroidered on the ankle.
