AIR JORDAN VII The Air Jordan VII released in 1992 and was designed by Tinker Hatfield. The design was inspired by African tribal art. Some of the most popular releases are the ‘Bordeaux’, ‘Raptors’, and ‘Olympic’. Michael Jordan wore the Air Jordan VII during the 1992 Olympics.
It all started with that Air Jordan IV, showing up with the monochrome blocking on top that was unlike any Air Jordan colorway we’d seen before. After that the Air Jordan XVI and Air Jordan XII did the same, suggesting that the super colorful pairs were part of some over-arching theme never to make it to retail, sort of in the same vein as the ‘History of Flight’ or ‘Pantone’ series. Well folks, Pandora’s box has officially been opened-it turns out the set spans quite the range, starting at the Air Jordan 1 and reaching all the way up to last year’s Air Jordan 2011, created strictly for display purposes in the Spring 2011 season just like the aforementioned collections. Every two pairs along the way sports a slightly different shade, with the 25 separate models included pretty much spanning what the rainbow has to offer.

2012 is the 23rd anniversary of the Air Jordan IV, and especially given the Three’s role in ’11, it’s natural to expect that we could go ahead and pencil in the AJ5 as next year’s big retro release. And when you consider that we already got a run of Air Jordan VII releases last year, it would seem even less likely that the VII will take center stage. But then you remember that this is also the 20th anniversary of the Dream Team and MJ’s second title and the natural reaction is probably a ‘shrug’, as in effortlessly crushing it. This ‘Fireberry’ Air Jordan 7 GS is the latest example suggesting one summer’s just not enough for these huarache-influenced lines. Plenty of male sneakerheads have commented they’d cop if the sizing were available; do you feel the same way?

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?

Jordan Brand continues to expand the library of kids releases with the Air Jordan VII GS in White/Pink (seen yesterday) and the ‘Golden Moments’ Pack, so even if you’ve never had the pleasure of watching the man play the game in the Bulls uniform, you can at the very least appreciate his lasting legacy with sneakers! Here’s yet another look at the upcoming Air Jordan VII selection of the ‘Golden Moment’s Pack; it features a sleek leather/suede contrast on the upper with hits of Gold surrounding the shoe, and if it’s going to be anything like 2006′s DMP, the Golden Moments Pack should be one of the most coveted Air Jordan releases of the year.

Riding high on his triple-MVP and first NBA Championship, Michael Jordan debuted the Air Jordan VII at the 1992 NBA All-Star Game, then went for another chip with the Bulls and his second Olympic gold in the Sevens. Accordingly, this is one of the models taking center stage in Jordan Brand’s upcoming celebration of that 20th Oly anniversary. And while models including the ‘Olympic’ and ‘Gold Medal/Golden Moments’ are intimately connected with this theme, the pair pictured above goes in an entirely different direction. Featuring roughly equal amounts of purple and pink hits, this Air Jordan 7 GS might end up with a nickname like ‘Mixed Berry’, its high-energy palette applied in a pattern reminiscent of the blocking employed on last March’s ‘Orion Blue’ AJ7.

Michael Jordan’s career is defined by a series of historic moments in succession, and although Jordan Brand acknowledged the first of such events as his first Championship in 1991, these ‘Moments’ began far earlier than his Chicago Bulls tenure (dropping 63 against the Celtics, hitting the game-winner in 1982 to win a National Title, shall we go on?). This August, Jordan Brand will recognize a ‘Golden Moment’ in Jordan’s history – his Olympic Gold Medal in 1992; the upcoming set dubbed the Air Jordan ‘Golden Moments’ Pack aka the ‘Gold Medal’ Pack features two distinct colorways of the Air Jordan VI and VII anchored by a lustrous Metallic Gold that details. A detailed look at the GS size of the Air Jordan VII ‘Golden Moments’ is right ahead, so take a good look and stay tuned for a detailed look at the Air Jordan VI counterpart of this highly-anticipated release!

As mentioned earlier, the Air Jordan Gold Medal Pack will retail at $350, which is a price jump of $30 from the last Air Jordan Package, which was 2010′s Infrared Pack.

Count it – four Air Jordan Retros arriving this Fall, all of which pays some sort of tribute to the Olympic Games and Michael’s triumphs at the event. Here we have a first detailed look at the Air Jordan VII of the ‘Gold Medal Pack’, which is currently slated for a release this August 18th; the entire Pack will retail for $350 (and you can’t purchase them separately), and will feature both the Air Jordan VI and VII anchored by Metallic Gold detailing. The VII features an ‘Away’ motif of Black with the DMP stylings of Gold on the midsole, heel-tab, tongue, and Jumpman on the upper ankle, and once released, the Air Jordan Gold Medal Pack should stand as one of the best releases of the year – but is it poised to be one of the greatest of all-time? We’ve got a detailed viewing after the jump so take a look and let us know what you think. Photos: MN
