A nod to the past and a leap into the future, the Air Jordan 2010 Basketball Shoes is the 25th incarnation in the iconic legacy. Ultra-lightweight, the innovative design delivers superior cushioning, stability and support, while the transparent window pays homage to Jordan's style of play. The Air Jordan 2010 was designed in joint project with Tinker Hatfield, Mark Smith and Michael Jordan himself. "It all started with Jordan telling Tinker how he used to look through his opponent while showing his opponent only portions of his game at strategic points," reports KATC. "He asked Tinker if the Air Jordan 2010 Sneakers could somehow show portions of his game, from this, the Transparency was born." The transparency is the piece on the side of the Air Jordan 2010 Shoes which is probably the most recognizable design element within the shoe itself, one which could make or break the shoes for some Jordan fans out there. The clear window is made from TPU which not only adds transparency to the upper but also helps to lighten the shoes up a bit.
