With this year marking two decades since the original Dream Team debuted, we can expect plenty of retro goodness from both Nike Sportswear and Jordan Brand. Keep an eye out for a variety of classic Olympic looks from NSW, as well as tons of Air Jordan Retro heat from JB, including one of the original Air Jordan VII colorways from 1992. The Air Jordan 7 Retro ‘Charcoal’ is sometimes called ‘Raptor’ for its use of a Toronto-style color scheme, but this model’s debut three years before Canada’s only remaining NBA squad means that the name doesn’t perfectly fit the original. Fitting, then, that the 2012 retro is looking more like the DMP release we got in 2009 with its pronounced tonality, than the more uniformly sueded OGs. Regardless of the nickname, these are destined for another return later this year, but do you still have your pair from three years ago? Let us know when you click through to see more of this September drop, and stick with Sneaker News for all of the 2012 Air Jordan Retro release dates. via US11
