More than a year after the teasing of an upcoming TROPHY ROOM x Jordan Brand collab based on the AJ 7, the first official photos have just surfaced. Originally planned to be released in 2021, this pair will finally be available in the last months of 2022 and will participate in the celebration of the 30 years of the model.
As previously mentioned, Marcus Jordan, the son of His Airness and founder of the Orlando store, chose the theme of the legendary 1992 Barcelona Olympics to revisit the AJ7. Michael Jordan and the rest of the Dream Team won the gold medal.
The bball is dressed in the iconic colors white, navy and red. It’s reminiscent of the AJ7 « Olympic » but with subtle and luxurious modifications.
This collaborative version features a red suede upper with white suede overlays tending towards beige. To complete the look, the tongue and laces are presented in navy blue. Branding details ensure the Olympic reference : the Jumpman under the ankle and the logos on the heels appear golden, the heel pull features the colors of the Olympic rings, MJ’s famous phrase said to his opponents « New sheriff in town » is embroidered on the inner side of the tongue and the date of June 22, 1992, which marks the Dream Team’s first training session in Barcelona, stands out on the inner lining. Also, Michael Jordan’s signature adorns the side heel and the co-branding is found on the insole. The whole is based on a white midsole with red and gold inserts, coupled with a blue/red tri-color outsole with a touch of white.
The shoe will come in a special box with a basketball court illustration and accompanied by 3 sets of laces to ensure the best matchups, as well as a clipboard!
The Trophy Room x Air Jordan 7 will be released November 4, 2022, exclusively via an in-store raffle until November 3, 2022, for a price tag around $220. See you at 50 S Rosalind Ave Retail B, Orlando, FL 32801, USA !
