About the Jordan 7 Retro N7 (2015)

When the Air Jordan 7 was first released in 1992, it sold for AUD 125. This iconic trainer now has a resale value averaging 5-10 times its initial retail price - making it a favourite among trainer heads.

The initial AJ 7 model was conceived by designer Tinker Hatfield for Jordan to wear in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain, alongside fellow Dream Team members Magic Johnson, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing.

During the team's gold medal run, Jordan wore an Air Jordan VII original model, which featured his Olympic number 9 in place of the number 23, MJ's original NBA jersey number.

Air Jordan VII's Long Line of Retro Collections

In 2002, Nike launched the Air Jordan 7 Retro for a short-lived release, a decade after the original silhouette's debut. It was offered in Charcoal, an original colourway, and French Blue, the first new colour since the OG collection's initial release.

Two years later, the brand brought back the 7 Retro in a limited release. Then, in 2006, another 7 Retro collection launched, with Nike expanding the line to six colourways, adding two LS versions, followed by the reissue of the original Cardinal colourway and an exclusive women's style. This release included the much sought-after Chambray colourway.

In 2008, the brand launched the exclusive Jordan VII Retro "Miro" for its Olympic Celebration collection. The Metallic Gold/Red colourway was inspired by the famous Spanish painter Joan Miro. This shoe continues to be one of the rarest Air Jordan 7s on the market and bears an artistic homage to the glory days of the shoe brand's genesis moment.

In honour of Native American communities, these N7 Jordan 7 Retros give off icy blue hues in tribal prints. The mostly white upper sits with punctured holes in the leather while more white layers in strips overtop, contrasting with the bright multicolour area on the rest of the shoe. Around the red Jumpman on the side of the mid-top ankle sits triangles of light blue, navy, and yellow in classic native-inspired designs. The Jordan name flashes across the tongue in red overtop, a similar design of colours, while the sole features a mix of blue hues and white triangular shapes. Wrapping it all together is the semi-translucent blue outsoles infused with Air technology.
