Jordan 7 Retro Metal Cleat Oreo

The Jordan 7 Oreo Colourway

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 Air Jordan 3 returned to its Retro roots in 2013 for the release of the 88 colourway. A primarily white design starts the shoe off, leading to accents of Fire Red on the eyelets and tongue, where a Jordan brand Jumpman logo can be found. The heel and toe are accented by a signature Cement Grey and black elephant print mudguard, providing the AJ3 with its unique style. The two-tone midsole is broken up into a glossy black at the heel and a bright white leading up to the toe. Unique to this trainer is the Nike Air branding found on the heel, which hadn't been seen on a Jordan since 1994. This particular Jordan 3 colourway hit the shelves on February 6th, 2013.
