Air Jordan VII – CDP Sample
November 1st, 2011 by John K. | 42 comments

In 2008, Jordan Brand embarked upon a year-long monthly schedule of Collezione Package releases. As you all know very well by now, each of the Collezione Packages featured two Air Jordan models, with their numbered designations totaling the number 23. Some of the packages featured an Original colorway of an Air Jordan paired with a new Retro+ Chicago Bulls-based rendition, which might’ve been the case for the Air Jordan 7/16 Package. Here’s another look at an unreleased sample of the Air Jordan VII for that Pack (we showed you these a few months back); it features a basic White/Red/Black colorway with a tonal white upper and alternate color-blocking on the forefoot outrigger and heel (red in front, black on the rear). These samples do feature the Collezione label on the insole as well as a 2008 dating on the label, so that leads us to wonder why these were scrapped in the first place. Of course, the ‘Hare’ colorway that subsequently released is one of the more celebrated installments of the entire Collezione year, but do you like these better? Check out the images below and let us know what you think. via phase2x.











Phase2x, you know I got your back, and I love rare samples. And I prolly would have bought these 7s too if I had the chance. But c'cmon, the Hare's shit on these, and they prolly got scrapped cuz they lookin like then Orion 7s, and shin/cheap lookin and shit. But maybe that's just me. Real talk tho, phase2x can crush 90% of the collections out there. Gotta get that bread. sALuTe
These shit are HOT!! I'll cop
7s never work without suede!
Air Jordan VII Scarface???
too white ,
THESE 7'S=GR....... LEAVE THE HARES ALONE.... HARE 7'S & BRED 16'S BEST CDP EVER...
I'd rather see these in the pack & Hares a separate release. Same with Carmines & BC3's. That's just me. They're not too bad though.
i like them but they look a lil cheap the leather should be tumbled. i think they will look better IMO.
These had potential. But you can't go against a classic. Score one point for the Hares.
they'd look alot better with white laces IMO
Unless they changed the post where did they say raptors cuz all I see is hares
They edited it without any acknowledgment of the mistake...
THESE ARE OK
The only good ones are the 3s, 16s, 17s, 18s, 23s, 2k9s and 2k11s ....
I'm sick of Jordans ..... overhyped
glad they went with the hares instead of these......but these are better than the orions
ill cop
WTF!!! those shoes did not make the CDP package
raptors are better, but these are still looking very good
hahaha perez hilton will gets a boner from these.... cuz its gay!!!!
hahaha perez hilton will gets a boner from these.... cuz its gay!!!! for those who will give me -1 ... blow me
you say these are gay and that itll give a gay guy a boner yet you tell everyone (assuming most readers are guys) to blow you which is gay...so these gave you a boner?
ctfu! +1 from me bro!
These look bootlegg to me...
i thought the hares dropped in 2008??? those are kinda of iconic..these remind me of the black blue joints that are still sitting on shelves only these are bulls colorways.
Do you guys do ANY research before you post some of these write-ups? It seems like there is misinformation in about 1 of every 3 posts. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Hares release in the 7/16 pack?
these were a sample colorway for the pack
you missed that question by a long shot
Cleann !
You're slipping SN, the Hares released in this pack, not the Raptors.
These shits are fire
"Raptor". Come on guys...Hares*. Oh and these are alright looking but I'm glad they weren't in the pack.
Love em
would have much rather seen these get GR's instead of the Orion's, those still sit on clearance racks
hahaha yea thats true was a waste of money and time
Um correct me if im wrong but the "Raptor" colorway was part of the DMP pack. The "Hares" made the CDP pack.
what do the raptors have to do with anything?
The article said at Raptors at first where it now says Hares...the writer had a minor slip up
Nope.
no1 chop my head off but what does CDP mean and DMP thanks
cdp=countdownpack, dmp=defining moments package..
count down pack and defining moments pack...
