AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH OG GS Hyper Royal | First Look: John Wall dunking in the Air Jordan 13 He Got Game "Shadow" (2025)

AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH OG GS Hyper Royal John Wall dunking in the Air Jordan 13 He Got Game “Steel” would return in 2025 with its original leather toe cap, a design feature that Jordan Brand quickly removed after its initial release. It’s now been confirmed that the “Shadow” colorway will also make a comeback, complete with the same retro Light.

While the toe-capped “Steel” version was released in the past, the upcoming “Shadow” AJ10 is said to be inspired by a rare salesman sample. This approach is similar to what Jordan Brand is taking with the upcoming Jordan 1 Hi 85 "Shadow 2.0," which also draws inspiration from an early sample pair.

The returning Jordan 10 “Shadow” will reportedly stay true to its 1994 origins. It features a grey nubuck and black leather upper accented by red Jumpman logos on the heel and outsole.

For those less familiar with the history of the John Wall dunking in the Air Jordan 13 He Got Game, it was the first model designed during Michael Jordan’s brief retirement from basketball when he was pursuing a baseball career. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the original “Steel” colorway was released in 1994 but was quickly pulled and altered after Jordan expressed his dislike for the toe cap. The model continued to roll out in other original colorways but without the controversial design element.

The John Wall dunking in the Air Jordan 13 He Got Game “Shadow” will be released in the latter half of 2025, with all signs pointing to a Nov. 18 drop via Nike.com/Jordan.

Dior x Air Jordan 1 High "Dior Gray" Jordan Release Dates Calendar will be updated with the latest information as it becomes available.
