Details of the Jordan 7 Retro Sample Golden Moments Pack
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 7 Retro Golden Moments pack consists of two shoes, namely the Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 7. This pack commemorates Michael Jordan's 20th-anniversary basketball career legacy and was thus a limited release. The Air Jordan 6 is a tonal white sneaker with gold accents, while the Air Jordan 7 is a tonal black sneaker with white and gold accents. The Air Jordan 7 Black celebrates Michael Jordan's achievement of a Gold medal at the Summer Olympics of 1992. The Air Jordan 7 colourway consists of black premium nubuck leather used on the upper, with gold and white found on the midsole. The American flag on the insole provides a patriotic touch. The gold heel tab displays the number 23 triangular emblem, highlighting a favourite MJ team jersey number. His iconic Jumpman logo can also be admired on the heel tab in gold.
