Design of the Jordan 7 Retro DMP
When the Air Jordan 7 was first released in 1992, it sold for $125. This iconic sneaker now has a resale value averaging 5-10 times its initial retail price—making it a favorite among sneakerheads.
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 colorway, and French Blue, the first new color 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 colorways, adding two LS versions, followed by the reissue of the original Cardinal colorway and an exclusive women's style. This release included the much sought-after Chambray colorway.
In 2008, the brand launched the exclusive Jordan VII Retro "Miro" for its Olympic Celebration collection. The Metallic Gold/Red colorway 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.
Jordan 7 Retro DMP 2009
Based on the Toronto Raptors, this colorway incorporated the team's colors of red, purple, black, and grey. The Jordan 7 Retro DMP was also released as part of the Defining Moments package in 2009. The upper consists of Nubuck leather, while there is charcoal with black overlays and perforations along the base. A red tongue lining and "Jumpman" logo pop against the grey and black colors. There is a purple heel pull tab and red and purple mudguards. The midsole is black, while the outsole is black, red, purple, and gold. Encapsulated Air-sole units at the heel and forefoot provide responsive cushioning. Polyurethane and Phylon are also part of the cushioning system for these kicks.
