These were not included in the city series. These released in 1994, the city series shoes came out in 1995. Stop, please.
 
In 1994 when the original release of the Air Jordan 10 came out, a total of three models released, and a regional pack which had five different color ways representing five selected teams. Those lucky teams are – Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Seattle Supersonics and the Chicago Bulls, and a pair of Air Jordan X cleats were released, all retailing at $125.00.

City series shoes were only released in the respective cities they were made for, Powders were a GR, I got them from Footlocker in Detroit MI

They are loosely based of the UNC colorway, buy not part of the city series. Every single Jordan model has a loosely colorway based off UNC colors. That's like saying I'm not buying True Blue 3s because they don't mat h Carolina colors

Sir True Blue 3's were never and never will be considered Carolina Blue smh!! These have always been called the NORTH CAROLINA 10's well the OG's were anyway, get over it!! And we're talking about OG compared to retro so in that sense no sir every OG model doesn't have a color based off of UNC!! Since we're being technical the only models that did WHEN IT "ORIGINALLY RELEASED" are the 1, 9, 10, 11, 12-obsidian, 13 -french blue, 14, 15, 17, 18-low, 20-regional, 21, 23-titanium, black/unc etc.

I guess that one flew right over your head...I'm done homie
 
Guys like i said before there were two versions of the dark powder blue jordans originally released that were not included in the city series. They were created from two seperate factories. One which was produced in 94. The other in early 95. 94 was the more vibrant carolina panther shade which the retro seems to be based on. The 95 was more north carolina shade. This is why there is so much confusion

The white/obsidian-ice blue 10s were the 'Carolina' 10s, they wore them in the mid 2000s....came out in '05, I have a pair...not to say that back when they released the City pack they were referred to as the North Carolina City pack...but truly are not UNC colorway!

You should be on the look out. Mines was like that and the tracking didnt even say they were out for delivery. They just showed up.

so are powders the closest to the Orlando city series shoe? Are they supposed to be a Retro of that?

Thought these were always associated with the hornets?

Orlando's were similar but royal blue

After this I'm done with it.... Whoever wrote that story was wrooong! The Hornets are Purple and Aqua not Powder Blue! These were associated wit the Tar Heels 1st and foremost because that was Jordan's college team and secondly because Jerry Stackhouse wore em when he played for the Tar Heels.
 
I should've pulled the trigger last night when I had 2 pairs sitting in the DSG cart... Didn't pull the trigger because I was waiting on a 10%off coupon :rofl:

These are def worth doubling up on. Quality is amazing compared to the Chicagos from a few years ago

This...UNC was the inspiration for the colorway...

For what it's worth the Powder's weren't actually part of the "City Series"...They were a full release just like the Steels and Shadows...
