Just like that extra day at the end of February, we’ve come to expect extra activity out of Nike and Jordan Brand each four years when the Olympic Games roll around. London 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of Michael and his Dream Teammates taking over Barcelona and setting the stage for an unprecedented stretch of USAB dominance, and now that Nike has started to show off some of its USAB wares, rumors have started flying about what we can expect from the Jumpman.
The ‘Olympic’ Air Jordan VII MJ actually wore in Spain back in ’92 is pretty much out of the question considering last year’s ‘FTLOTG’ release, but another model from the first three-peat is also known for its ‘Olympic’ colorway. It looks like the Air Jordan VI made famous by Ray Allen at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia will hit retailers around the same time as a new black and gold AJVII. Further speculations abound with regard to the possible double packaging and even a new AJVI to be bundled with the Sevens, with the Sydney Olympic Sixes releasing separately. Let us know what you’d most like to see happen next summer and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for images and release info on the 2012 Air Jordan ‘Olympic’ Retros. via NT

December 7th, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Excluding the Black Flips. Best quality of the year
December 7th, 2011 at 4:14 pm
6s are a for sure thing, i already got my pair on reserve at my local sneaker spot….remember, mom and pop stores order their shoes 6-8 months in advance, so they already know what their getting, same goes for the popular sneaker spots like footaction, but the person that does the buying doesnt work at the store, the store employees are just pawns in the sneaker game…
December 7th, 2011 at 4:20 pm
Yeah me too, I don't want to get my hopes up. And If its true i hope they don't Fk up the design on the VIIs.
December 7th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
two of my fav's- silhouette of the 7's and if those 6's come out, i'm gonna slap you step uncle!
December 7th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
or have money like me and cop the 00' release BOSS
December 7th, 2011 at 4:41 pm
U retarded
December 7th, 2011 at 4:44 pm

December 7th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
Just with the olympic 6s being released Im happy hopefully they dont fuck up to much on them cause we all know they will fuck something up on them.. I can say for alot of people that those olympic 6s or grails, will at least for me they r
December 7th, 2011 at 4:56 pm
i hope so!
December 7th, 2011 at 5:16 pm
RAPTOR 7'S ARE RELEASING NEXT YEAR… IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE THE 2002 RETRO NOT THAT BS DMP 7 RAPTORS WITH GLUE MARKS….
December 7th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
I could picture 6 years from now the gay pride vi that came out a couple years ago being considered grails smh. I do like these and remember people cutting class to go cop at niketown when I was in 10th grade def will scoop a pair
December 7th, 2011 at 5:33 pm
untill i see pictrue then i going to belive it but they say the same thing about the grape/ laney pack and they never release and if it cost more then 200 for one pair then forget about it but the quality must be three times better and about the pic we already see a pic about the AJ 12s in the summer of next year but i havent see a pic about these so untill i see something we can buy something
December 7th, 2011 at 6:02 pm
This seems interesting. Black and gold VII's and white and gold VI's?? DMP 6/7 pack to commemorate Michael Jordan in the olympics?? This seems to good to be true, I guess we'll see next summer. Also the rereleasing the olympic VI's seem very high in my opinion. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

December 7th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
watch the blue part be suede
December 7th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
This is Happening people… Heard about it a week ago.. Along with a few other treats for the London Games..
December 7th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
They really screwed the pooch there for the 20th anniversary, It should have been the VIIs releasing in 2012 to celebrate that. Not that I don't like the Oly VIs, I just think the timing sucks.
December 7th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
i hope its the white/gold 6 samples that were for the first dmp pack and black and gold 7s is a must
December 7th, 2011 at 7:08 pm
The 2002 Retros were all black. The OGs were black and grey, but a much darker grey than on the DMPs. And my DMPs have no glue stains. And they aren't "Raptors".
December 7th, 2011 at 7:10 pm
My varsity red 6s have been through rain and dirt and are still white.
December 7th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
sounds eerily similar to the grape/laney pack. I won't believe it till i see it
December 7th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
hater
December 7th, 2011 at 7:25 pm
may be the quality but not the design , none of them can beat the bc this year
December 7th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
hopefully they are MIRO OLYMPIC VIIs!!! google them
December 7th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
im going to cop these 4real
December 7th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
as everybody know my label mate sale cd ambition is out! Buy his album or ill fuck u
December 7th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
yes they are raptors. i cant stand all the people who say that. They came as a part of the 60+ pack with the magic 7's— oops sorry i guess i should say the white blue and black/grey 7's
December 7th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
There's no point in having so much hype when it's only a rumour. We've been waiting for that Grape/Laney pack for more than a year and there's still no answer. I'll continue on with my daily life and when I do get proof, I'll get excited
December 7th, 2011 at 8:31 pm
Is the thumb down because you're mad that you have glue stains and I don't or because the DMP was on sale on Nike.com and in stores and now people are paying $600 at flightclub.
December 7th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
sounds similar to the rumored grape/laney pack and the columbia/obsidian pack that was to be i will believe when i see but i am happy that
since the raptors that drop in 12' are close to the 02' version and the olympic 6 drop in late summer that leaves new colorways for this pack im curious about the blk/gold 7s tho
December 7th, 2011 at 9:03 pm
First of all,sneakernews is late.Modern Noteriety benn posted this and those 6s arent the one from the pack like scott said and the 7s are a new cw which is black and gold kinda looks like the dmp 6s so if u are trying to guess what 6s will be on the pack maybe the dmp 6s will be in the pack also or the other olympic 6s.
December 7th, 2011 at 9:34 pm
They came in that pack because MJ scored 64 against the Magic in 1993. The Raptors became a franchise in 1995.
December 7th, 2011 at 9:44 pm
The Hares had green. Do we call them the Bucks? The Concords had purple. Do we call them the Kings? The playoff 13s and last shots were black red and yellow. Do we call them the Heats or the Hawks?
December 7th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
The whole Jizz thing is played and very unnecessary. That's not on a need to know basis.
December 7th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
We might as well call these new 7s the Saints.
December 7th, 2011 at 10:25 pm
The gold medal pack could be nice and getting this and the concords might finally make me feel a little better about passing on the 6/11 DMP
December 7th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
Word on the street is these are going to release as a single around 9/11.
December 7th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
Them shits are garbage
December 7th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
WE HAVE A WINNER (FINALLY!)….RELEASE 'EM…PLEEEZ RELEASE 'EM!!!!!!!!!!!
December 7th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
As long as the oly 6's come out I'm cool. If they come out in a pack then I got some bonus shoes.
December 7th, 2011 at 11:55 pm
2002s are sort of all black, but over time those areas on the upper begin to fade a little, leaving it with a charcoal grey/black upper, closer to the og version….and thats why I love my 02s
December 8th, 2011 at 1:08 am
LOL I give this Rick Ross poser a thumbs up just for trolling every time he comments…
December 8th, 2011 at 1:10 am
Can't do it. for some reason the recent 7's run 1/2 size bigger and 6's are good so i would end up having one good fit and on bigger fit lol
December 8th, 2011 at 2:33 am
the dmp 7s are "raptors" clown. when i was growing up we didnt call the 7s that mj wore in the finals "raptors"… real ogs know them simply as "charcoal 7s" all these dumb names you new hypes randomly attach to anything these days is ridiculous lol i guess tho
December 8th, 2011 at 2:35 am
shut up idiot.. i bet u "had" the grape/laney pack on reserve too right dumbass
December 8th, 2011 at 2:37 am
no u r wrong misses
December 8th, 2011 at 2:38 am
u ass backwards
December 8th, 2011 at 2:40 am
columbia will drop end of next yr and obsidian next spring/summer
December 8th, 2011 at 4:41 am
So I don't get the reasoning with saying the VII's definitely won't be the olympic versions since the for the love of the game editions came out last year considering the olympic Nike Air More Uptempo came out two months after that and are coming out in the Olympic 4 pack with the BB4s, 180s and 2k4s.
December 8th, 2011 at 4:46 am
Oh yea a must cop. Rock the hardwood in college next year.
December 8th, 2011 at 5:11 am
I see you have some extra time in between being a corrections officer and eating small animals…
December 8th, 2011 at 5:20 am
Oh you heard…what stupid "forum" site did you read that on??? No wait….I suppose MJ himself told you….
Go play for the Lakers in your Kobe Bryant outfit….square!!!!
December 8th, 2011 at 11:08 am
ROSAY
December 8th, 2011 at 3:54 pm
okay im sorry for my slowness someone please correct me im confused…so is the olympic 6s coming in the 6/7pack?? or if i read correctly there will be a new 6 colorway in the 6/7pack with a black and gold 7?? im sorry just a little confused..
December 8th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
the failure of that grape/laney pack pretty much ruined me.
December 8th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
you really are a stupid ass. how can reserve something that is a rumor and that doesn't have a release date either?
December 8th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
well this isn't the Uptempo now is it?
December 12th, 2011 at 6:20 pm
We'll c if this actually happens…
