Air Jordan 2010 Windowless Sample

741 days ago - by Alex Kroviak - 44 comments

The Air Jordan 2010‘s circular “window” has been nothing short of controversial from the first time we saw it. While many of you immediately dismissed it, an equal number scoffed at the idea of using a solid mid-panel when we played “What If?” What we’re seeing today is a windowless sample.

This sample looks identical to the first colorway of the 2010 that will release, but actually possesses a few slight differences. The window has obviously been changed from what we see here. The Jumpman logo fills the circle on the outside of the foot, and the “23″ logo is used on the inner-side. The Absent on the midsole is the grooves and scattered design that’s been nearly as controversial as the window. So what do you think? Is the release version the better shoe?

Naw, I’m straight on those. They can modify them as much as they want. With all the fresh retro Js dropping this year, the 2010s don’t fit into my budget anyway.

The last two guys have it exactly right. they should have flushed the circle from the jump and just added the jumpman in place Between the dots. MayBe a small design change to accentuate it. It’s the jumpman logo for Christ’s sake. Pretty oBvious jB. the empty circle was the wackness. It’s like they tried to hustle us like “hey, we don’t know what to put there.” ” I got it. We put “nothing” there and then just makeup a story aBout the “nothing” lol. ” It symBolizes jordan’s aBility to see through defenses.” lol genius jB. pure genius.

Ugly. Looks like they gave up after the proper Air Jordan series (XX3).

The shoe pictured in this article is almost as whack as the shoe pictured beside BlkJordans3s4s6and11′s screen name … but he is right – it’s an easy pass with all of the lukewarm retros coming at us from JB this year.
I say lukewarm because
a) new shoes aren’t real heat
b) the quality on them is probably going to be garbage judging from that of the Varsity Red 6s that just released
SMH – again, we as an entire consumer, stay losing by continuing to buy from them because they’re just profitting now. As quality goes down, prices go up – STOP IT, JORDAN ! and stop putting windows in your shoes … it’s disgusting, esp. when trying to fill it with a big Jumpman that looks so out of place, it’s not even funny. I mean, at least integrate it into the design rather than slapping it on over the window. It’s like the wrong brand was placed on a cheap shoe; then again, it’s hard to define what an expensive shoe is nowadays.
WAR
these shoes are so ugly. they dont even deserve to have the shaq logo on them.
ironspatula
still garbage! this looks like you can cop em off the streets at any random shoe shop in guangzhou for a buck fifty. (probably its already out in china already) Jordan brand is short changing their very loyal customers.
i gotta agree with sneakerfitedguy –
first was the slightly below par quality of the recent retros and now this…. smh. next thing you know… the stitches on all future j’s are all superficial… all the parts are just gonna get glued together.
Wiktor
theire are so ugly, that none of jb player played them in a game.
jaysbackinthedays
with or without the hole…. wack.

Wiktor WHAT U TALKIN ABOUT FIF YOU SEE D-WADE ROCKING THESE SOMETIMES WHEN HE HOME IN MIAMI…………… OR HAVE YOU SEEN THE “WELCOME HOME” D-WADE EDITION…

I said it once and I’ll say it again,for some reason I’m not feeling these at all…But to each is their own,I guess??
ny
comon guys give it a chance its performance might be outta dis world … after all thats what theyre made for basketball not casual wear … they dnt look half bad for casual either and i am a sneakerhead got alot of jordans and know the shoe game so dnt try to play and say ima little starter or something like dat !

ITS AMAZING HOW A LITTLE ALTERATION CAN CHANGE SO MUCH. I LIKE THESE WAAAAAY BETTER NOW. I WOULD ACTUALLY CONSIDER COPPING. AS I READ THE TITLE”WINDOWLESS 2010″ I FIGURED THIS WOULD BE THE FINAL CONCLUSION. HOPEFULLY JB DROPS AN “NW” (NO WINDOW) VERSION OF THE 2010. LOL
abregueo
put a swoosh, and make it kobe VI…
koopatroopas
the idea of having a big ass circle in the middle of my shoe is terrible. perforated doesn’t help the cause either. still needs a lot of changes.

@ sneakerfittedguy…I see that we agree to a certain extent, but what’s wack about a White/Cement/Red Retro 3?

Besides the fact that it looks like someone cut out some cardboad and placed it on the window i would say its almost done. Just change the color of the cardboard cut out and you might have a nice looking shoe

“C’mon it’s a performance shoe; give it a chance” ?!?!
The proper Nike Basketball line of shoes look waaayyyyy better than this 2010 crap, window or not.

Chris Paul got hooked up with the illest looking Jordan to drop in Eight Years. The CP3 iii is an example of where JB should be at with their kicks at this point in time. If the CP3 logo wasn’t so corny i would have every colorway by now. I get that the 09 and 10 are “performance sneakers” but i don’t see why it’s so hard to incorporate a little Jordan Flare. The 16.5 and the 2.5 blow the 2009 and 2010 out teh box and that’s just sad.
John
cp3′s are weak and so are these, window or no window
UNoe
trust me i won’t be coping any Cp3′s in teh near future but you have to admit teh cp3 iii’s have some definate Jordan Flavor to them, and are a good launching point for all future J’s
youngboi85
I’m with fryboi they still suck I’m good savin up for all this heat dropin later this year
kevin
i usally don’t comment but i just had to, these shoes are GARBAGE. I mean first of all wtf, these r so ugly they look like some cheap, ugly, payless kicks. And what makes em even more garbage is that they look like they would suck to ball in em. Atleast the 2009′s were “ball’able” lol, these shoes like they gonna have horrible traction and grip. These are GARBAGE, i should get signed onto jordan brand and make sum nice kicks, pssh.

dey shudda left them like this ,dese look a MILLION TIMES BETTER without that terrible window..theyre still weak tho…
plus mike should have learned by now that looks sell more than performance
mezzze05
Yea tha windows gone but these still look cheap as hell… They jus scream team jordans…
http://nicekicks.com/members/przotherbadguy/ przotherbadguy
its still the same. the 2010′s are a nice shoe
at least Jordan is thinking innovative rather than keep on retro-ing other shoes…
that’s the easy way out
dis-wut-it-iz

dis-wut-it-iz
*of da boarder of da window iz wut i meant
