As is the case with the Air Jordan Legacy as a whole, the majority of significant memories from the Olympic Games are concentrated in the early years. This holds to the Olympic Air Jordans to an even greater degree, as the two most famous are directly connected in the lineage. Air Jordans 6 and 7 are both slated for a huge season as we approach the London Games and the 20th anniversary of the Dream Team in Barcelona, and one of each will join to create the first two-pack we’ve seen since 2010′s ’Infrared Pack’. That ‘Golden Moments Package’ of Air Jordan VI and VIIs means that for the latter of those silhouettes, you can choose between a colorway that resembles the original ‘Defining Moments’ Sixes, or opt instead for the ‘Olympic’ Sevens. Both of these AJ7s are depicted in greater detail below; are you planning to grab all of the Olympic Jays or does one of these stand out in particular?
Does anyone if you can preorder the Olympics at footlocker?
Wait.... I'm confused... are the VII and VI Golden Moments still releasing as a pack or has it been changed to general releases?
Those Olympics are gonna be poor quality just like the Orions. Still a nice shoe.
Kobes and Lebrons > Jordans
cant wait to robocop
I was on the fence about copping the gold medal pack, but these pics just won me over!
Omg those Gmp 7s look so much better in this pic, but i really wanna see the Gmp 6s!
In my opinion my friends ..... The Olympic 7's in this picture don't look like their cut the same as the ones from 04. And the gold medal 7's don't look right with the material that they used. Pass on both. I'd liked to see the gold medal 6's though. Hit me up and let me know your opinion my email is ZooYork83BC@yahoo.com.
is it me or do those GMP 7s look like someone sat on them than tried to fix them
LOL them joints do look kinda smushed up but Im loving the colorway though.
why not make the GMP VIIs all nubuck... JB baffles me
olympics > gold medals....imo.
Looks like GS sizes.
Why make the Olympic 7's plastic lace tips damn it's watever I'm cop cause they are still one of my most favorites of all Jordan's. Who trying to go half on the gold medal pack tho I just want these 7's you can hae the 6's, retail on em no price rape.
I'd go half because I'd rather have the 6's.
Still have my FLOTG 7's in great condition, pass on the Olympic 7's. But I will be copping the 6's
God damn those Olympic 7s are SEXY now i know why they're my favorite Jordans ever , Cant wait to cop again , still got my FTLOTGs In Odee Good Condition.
is it just me, or do those GMP 7s look like fakes (from the bird's-eye shot of em)?
looking for to the olympic6/7 not this pack thing so much. they r just too plain for me and gold ehhh
still got the 04s
i need those laces man!!! i hope i get the box tooo
Pass on both. Will get olympic 6 and raptor 7 tho
Ditto that except I'll be passing on the "raptor" VIIs too.
I am definitely buying the Red White and Blue pair. I may buy the black and gold pack if I just have money laying around.
They are called Olympic 7s, not the "Red White and Blue" pair.
Thanks genius.
a typical response from a hypebeast
Love these
Trash jb quality as usual...... Bring on the lebron X's!!!!
I still think its highly unnecessary for JB to release the olympic 7s again. Then again it could be a sign that the world is ending. JB mustve found out and been like " oh shit. Lets just make somemore money before we die" or they mustve of realized the insufficient quality of the FTLOGs and they wanna make up for em, but I doubt that..
its definitely necessary, they didnt release in gs sizes before. left the ladies hanging like always -__-
you can't take money with you when you die dummy
man i need those olympic 7s i already got the jersey to go with them
Dayumm!!!!! Must have... but quality on the Olympics look superb compared to the Golden Moments.
nice!!!
Camping OUT NOW!!!
Scrub..
i'm down with both but those golden moment 7s tongue looks like it's dark purple from sunlight? o.0 idk how i feel about that
CLEAN!!!
The Gold Medal 7s, look all kinda messed up. Like someone already hooped in them.
especially in that birds eye pic. O_o
Actually the infrared 6 was the last two-pack to release.
Only One Of Those 7s Is Olympic Too Me Nd Yall Kno Wat It Is
Sooooooo......Where are the pictures of the VI's ??? I know that we all have seen them already, but why mention them in the article and not show them =
the only VIs i want are the olympic retro. That is the best olympic-themed jordan IMO. Can't wait till july 7th
I think you are sleeping if you don't get the 7s golden moments. The Olympics you will see them every 4 years but the Golden Moments with be like the Defining Moment Pack. Both very clean sneaker though.
the GMP will become a classic, but not on the DMP level cuz there's no XI to hype it up, thats just how it is
damn those GMP 7s are tough. need em
whats wrong with them black and golds, above the toe look like its having some wardrobe malfunction...wonder how many ppl uspet they got them "for the love of the games" or really could care less and getting these too.
