Air Jordan VII “Bordeaux” Sample

It was a long, nineteen-year wait for the Euro-tinted Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’ to come back to stores, but its long absence certainly didn’t go by unnoticed as the Bordeaux was deemed one of the thirty best sneakers of the year. It was praised for being a near-copy of the original, but did you know it could’ve turned out just a tad different? Here’s a look at an unreleased Sample of the Bordeaux VII (take a moment to see if you can spot the differences); the tongue and the heel logo features a brighter mint green opposed to the darker forest green that was used on the original design, and although it’s just a minor discrepancy, that would not have gone unnoticed either! Check out the extra shots below and let us know if you’ve got the ’11 Retro in your sneaker rotation, and stay tuned to Sneaker News because there’s a lot more AJ7 heat coming soon. via theampmlife
I like i think better, I always liked the olive green more in the tongue
The yellow on the retail version really helped out, but they should've kept the green too.
I like what I got better
i copped these last year.the quality was trash.the shape of the shoe are not like the originals at all.and i dished out a couple of hundred dollers to get them after the freaking hypebeasts went crazy over them.smh...yall kids are messing up the sneaker game for real
I think they should just release these , might aswell they dope yo
I think it's important to have small differences between the retros to help differentiate older pairs from newer ones. This helps establish a better resale value as well, because one shoe may be loved more than another. OG anything is always better though.
The green is nice on these. Last April's joints were on point though.
I remember havin these in middle school... dat mint green jus set dis shoe off... wish they put it back in da retros last yr... either way, these are classics... 1 of my top 10 best Jordan's ever made
Damn these look wayy hotter than the release version
F*cking gorgeous
love the green on the tongue. being from 2002 the quality was probably on point too
What are you talking about? These retroed for the first time ever LAST year lol
these are samples from 02, bunch of dumb*sses up in here
These were supposed to release instead of the "Raptor 7, so before you go spouting off at someone about something you don't know, make sure you know your sh** first!
Not paying 160 + tax for some "mint green" and a lighter heel. Pass..
its a sample... it says so in the title
I know who's pair that is and where it came from
congrats that you you know who it is, you're my hero -__-
yea who? lol
why did they take the green out of the released version the ogs look so much better because of the green
it dont matter, im content the colorway released again, i like my bordeauxs the way they are thats why i copped them
I wish there was more green on the actual ones that released, and I wish the green that is on them was lighter.... but not THIS light lol so yeah I'm happy with the ones I have
i think i like these a little bit better than the others
