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
