Asian Aesthetic: Jordan 7 Retro Greater Chinas (2020)
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.
The Jordan 10 Retro Super Bowl LIV released on February 1st, 2020, in celebration of the 54th Super Bowl. Miami inspired the colourway for these trainers, because that is where the 54th Super Bowl took place. The colourway consists of palm print in pastel colours on top of a white base. These side panels have a wavy pattern, as do the white midsoles. An alternating brown and pink outsole ground the design. Pink accents the lining with teal used for the heel pull tabs. The upper is made of canvas, and gum rubber is used for the outsoles. For cushioning, the trainers feature Phylon and full-length Air.
