This weekend’s release of the Air Jordan Lakers 2010 Black University Blue “Powder Blue” and the upcoming “Infrared 23” release in March indicates that the Air Jordan Lakers 2010 Black University Blue may have permanently transported to a new phase of the shoe. The heralded OG colorways of the 3 – the Black/Cement, White/Cement, Fire Red, and True Blue – have all been re-March many times before, and barring a complete “Nike Air” return on all those colorways, it appears that there won’t be a need for an OG bringback any time soon. Jordan Brand has done a great job at re-imagining the classic Jordan shoes with new colorways, and although it my appear that new color-combos are all that’s on deck, remember that Jordan Brand started dabbling in new colorways over ten years ago.
The Air Jordan Lakers 2010 Black University Blue was, in fact, one of the first “retroed” shoes, but it wasn’t until 2001’s release of the Air Jordan Lakers 2010 Black University Blue “Mocha” that some new flavor was brought to that model (and did so in limited number). What followed was a series of colorways (even for women), and in 2014, we’re ready to open the door to the impressive “Dark Powder Blue” and OG-like “Infrared 23”. If you’re new to the game, check out this quick rundown of all the Retro colorways (that, not originated from ’88) and jot down a list of all the pairs you have in your personal collection.
