Jordan Brand is bringing back another forgotten gem from the mid-2000s. The “Red Steel” Air Jordan 10 is expected to return in Spring 2027, marking the first retro release of the colorway since its original debut in 2005.
The upcoming release gives sneakerheads another opportunity to grab a colorway that has been absent from store shelves for more than two decades. The latest first-look images reveal a familiar combination of white, red and grey that recalls the original pair.
“Red Steel” Air Jordan 10 Release Details
The “Red Steel” features a predominantly white leather upper, with Varsity Red accents across the eyestays, laces, collar and tongue. Light Steel Grey details provide contrast around the eyelets, lining and outsole, completing the classic color scheme.
The sneaker also retains the Air Jordan 10’s signature outsole, which lists Michael Jordan’s basketball accomplishments.
According to current release reports, the 2027 retro is expected to arrive in the era-inspired silver shoebox, adding another nostalgic detail for longtime collectors.
