Michael Le Compared to the Air Force 1’s 40th, the Air Jordan 7‘s 30th Anniversary has been off to a relatively slow start. But with reveals slowly propping up one after another, it’s clear Jordan Brand was simply saving the best for the latter half of the year: the “best” being the return of the “Citrus” as well as the debut of a number of new styles, one of which — the “Cherrywood” — celebrates the beloved “Bordeaux” colorway.
According to the available mock-up, the “Cherrywood” features a relatively unique palette; but despite this, the pair effectively pays homage to the above-mentioned classic with a similar color blocking. Some details, such as the hits of “Cherrywood Red” across the Jumpman logo and tongue, are even similar to said inspiration, though the adjacent “Neutral Olive” panels are a more noticeable replacement for the 1992 release’s greys. The adjacent blacks, though, do offer an additional layer of familiarity, as do the subtle “Taxi” accents.
The Air Jordan 7 SE “Cherrywood” is reportedly slated to land on December 17th at a retail of $210 USD. More details as well as official images are sure to surface closer to the release, so sit tight for future updates.
In other news, the Air Jordan 2 Low Cherrywood is also releasing this December.
