Jordan 7 Retro Pantone

All About The Jordan 7 Retro Pantone

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 Pantone 2017

Created as another Jordan brand tribute to the time Michael Jordan spent at his alma mater, the University of North Carolina, this Air Jordan 7 silhouette features a Pantone colorway of University Blue, white, and black. Black can be found exclusively on the shoe's insole, while white makes its way to the outsole and midsole as well as the Jumpman logo on the shoe's lateral side, the tongue's Jordan branding, and on the heel, where a signature Jordan 7 white triangle can be found. University Blue then appears everywhere else on the upper, from the overlays and shoelaces to the tongue, heel pull, and number 23 featured on the heel. This Pantone color scheme was put on shelves across the nation on April 29, 2017.
