Jordan 7 Retro Marvin The Martian 2015
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 Marvin The Martian 2015
The Jordan 7 Retro Marvin the Martian was designed as part of another collaboration between the Jordan brand, Looney Tunes, and Warner Brothers. As part of the Hare Jordan Collection, this colorway incorporates the traditional red and black color design with one big update. The sneaker is accented in neon green hints from top to bottom. A black leather upper with black overlays acts as the shoe's base, while University Red is integrated into the midsole, tread, padded tongue, heel, and the iconic Jumpman branding is woven into the shoe's ankle. This shoe's signature Martian Green can be found on the heel tab, on portions of the tread, and again on the tongue where the word JORDAN is written out.
