Jordan 7 A Complete OG History
The Jordan 7 is one of the most sought out for silhouettes in Jordan history in 1992 5 original color-ways released that changed the sneaker game and the Jordan brand forever. The raptor Jordan 7′s Bordeaux, Hares, Cardinals and the Olympic jordan 7′s are all iconic color-ways that re-invented the game and inspired allot of the sneakers that came after them.
The first Jordan 7′s released in 1992 were the infamous Hare Jordan 7′s, although the Hare 7′s didn’t match the Chicago uniform but they sure looked good together. The shoes were dubbed the (Hares) because of the “Bugs Bunny” cameo in the commercial for the Jordan 7′s where Michael and Bugs teamed up to beat some jocks at a game of basketball calling them selves Hare Jordan and Air Jordan. The Hares were just retro’d in 2008 16 years after its original release in 1992. The original hare 7′s are considered holy grails in the sneaker world.
The Bordeaux 7′s really killed them game when released a black and charcoal grey upper was accented by a combination of colors such as lime green, purple,yellow and blue. The sneaker was another Jordan that was just recently retro’d and is still one of people’s favorite Jordan’s. The Bordeaux’s were polar opposites from the Hair’s almost like ying and yang, the Hares featured a white and light grey upper with colorful accents on the tongue, sole and heel the Bordeaux are similar just they use darker colors but are set up the same way design wise. Some of you might remember the Bordeaux 7′s from the Jordan 7 retro card that featured Michael Jordan squaring up on the court with Michael Jackson. The sneakers design drew inspiration from an African art poster that Tinker Hatfield purchased when visiting Portland.
The Raptor 7′s were introduced to the world in spring of 1992 and was a great addition to the Jordan 7 family. The sneakers were a combination of black nubuck and suede with accents of purple and red throughout the sneaker along the sole lining heel and tongue. The western African pattern took to the color combination well and claimed their reputation as dope sneaker in the Jordan brand history. Labeled the raptor 7′s by the sneaker community because they feature the same color-way as the Toronto Raptors. As u can see in the image above the sneakers have been changed do to the elements and aging this is a tell tale sign you have an original pair from 1992. The sneakers were retro’d in 2002 and most recently in 2012 and were as expected sold out in minutes.
The Olympic 7′s are one of the most iconic Jordans, Jordan wore these when playing with the “Dream Team” during the 1992 Olympics. These were unique because they featured a number 9 on the back heel which Jordan wore while playing in the Olympics instead of the usual number 23 we were used too seeing. Bottom line this color-way changed the game and inspired allot of color-ways after its release. The sneaker has been released a few times since than and every-time its a truly must have sneaker. Although the sneaker has a mostly white upper it was decked out with a gang of colors, from navy to red even silver and gold could be seen on these dope Jordan 7′s. This was the fourth out of the fuve Jordan 7′s released in 1992.
The Cardinal 7′s were the last of the original Jordan 7′s to release that year they dropped in November of 1992, the sneaker was re-released in 2006 and once again in 2011. After a 14 year hiatus Jordan fans welcomed the cardinal 7′s back with open arms. The silhouette for the sevens is an amazing design many layers and textures can be seen on this classic Jordan. The Cardinal name was given to these sneakers because of the tone of red used was cardinal red, the color-way stayed mainly white with hints of gold, cardinal red and black throughout the sneaker. This was also a great design because of how well the sneakers performed on the court, this shoe was a slimmer design made to stick to your feet for more accurate movement.
These Jordan’s were great and are one of the worlds most favorite Jordans and will remain that way for years, Jordan Brand is still releasing the silhouette in new color-ways and retroing the original colors when they see fit. The Jordan 7′s were also apart of that golden era that made Jordan’s legacy so great. Stay tuned here at 8and9.com for history on your favorite Jordan silhouettes.
