It’s not shocking that the new grey/white/neon or 2005-retro in V.Red and Steel Grey Air Jordan X Retros previewed in recent months are lacking embroidery detailing on their lateral ankles, but a recent Old Royal revelation with ’23’ on its sides has us remembering previous samples of this‘Chicago’ colorway. That’s the interesting thing about the Tens; on the surface they’re one of the simplest of all the Air Jordan Legacy, but this one particular model has room for a variety of expressions. From the embroidery to the re-reversed Jumpman on this pair appearing in red instead of the original’s backwards black, keen-eyed sneakerheads will be able to determine an AJX’s vintage on the spot thanks to these small changes. This is one that never said ‘NIKE AIR’ in the first place; are the differences subtle enough to stay true to the OGs? Have a closer look after the jump and stick with Sneaker News so we can get you the exact US release date for this January 2011 drop. via Kicks-lab
