Air Jordan 7

Everything we hold on this shoe: 1 written piece.

No visible Air window, no Nike Air on the outside, a neoprene sleeve and graphics from African tribal art. In 1992 that was a risk: a visible air bubble was the main thing brands were selling.

No style code and no colourway here. Both come from the retailer listings on the calendar ahead, and this shoe has nothing on it, so the rows are absent rather than guessed at.


What we have written

Every piece, with the place each claim came from underneath it. Where we could not reach a source we say so instead of quietly leaving it out.

Tinker Hatfield designed the 7, released 1992, drawing on the colours and shapes of African tribal art; Nike Air branding landed only on the insoles; the Olympic pair matched the USA uniform and put the number 9 on the heel

What we do not hold on the Air Jordan 7 yet: nothing on our UK release calendar and no reading in our price index, so no ask we could quote. Everything above is what we do.
