While the Air Jordan Legacy ‘For the Love of the Game’ display accentuated the university blue and white colorway, it was in 1992 when Michael Jordan’s love of basketball reached an international level, when he co-led the 1992 Dream Team to a dominating victory. Release tomorrow, August 13th, is the Air Jordan VII (7) Olympic colorway; Jordan Brand has displayed some leniency with its Saturday-only release dates, with both the Air Jordan IX (9) ‘For the Love of the Game’ and Citrus Retro falling mid-week and this highly anticipated Quickstrike releasing on a Friday.
It’s not all for nothing though, as the August 13th release of the Olympic VII was set to coincide with the 1992 Dream Team’s induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, when Jordan, Barkley, Magic, Bird, and others will forever be enshrined as the greatest group of talent in the history of the sport. The Air Jordan VII (7) Olympic will be available at select Jordan Brand retailers , Niketown locations, and for the NYC-based sneakerheads, Footaction on 34th St. will have a midnight release. Continue reading for an interesting comparison of the Olympic VII from ’92, ’04, and ’10, and be sure to cop a pair tomorrow. via regularolty.

August 13th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Wrong. The space jams were a quickstrike. Even the stores at my mall got the space jams but they didn't get the olympics. Get YOUR facts straight
August 14th, 2010 at 1:41 am
damn hypebeast is on htese like freaks damnnn
August 14th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Space Jams were quickstrike and the oly 7's are also quickstrike but the 7's were a lot more limited.
Get your facts straight. If they were GR, then they would have been on display at the JB Q3 shows 6 months ago and we all would have known about it 6 months ago…you've probably never been to a show anyway…it's ok…
Kid has no idea what he's talking about…lmaoooo
August 14th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
And….the cardboard under the insole make these super super super terrible.
August 14th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
These where mos def a quickstrike release. Dont compare these to Space jams because Space jams came out in almost every state, while not many states had these. I saw people on line that came from Florida and Kansas and shit…
August 14th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
If anybody that didnt get them i have a size 8.5, 11, 12 for sale on ebay , Kothegreat901 is my ebay name
