Set to land in early January, this new Air Jordan 7 Retro flips takes the classic “Bordeaux” blocking and updates it with “Black” and “Olive” green tones. The upper features a soft nubuck material that’s laced with African-inspired patterns, like the ones found on the previously-released “Afrobeats” pair.
The upper’s titular tones are heightened by “Cherrywood Red” Jumpman logos embroidered on the lateral ankle collars and “Chutney”-colored “Nike Air” embroidery on the heels. Those same tones are used to accent the sneaker’s black foam midsoles, while rubber outsole units are primarily done in black.
This upcoming Air Jordan 7 Retro SE colorway will be available on DTLR.com and DTLR stores on January 7th for a retail price of $210. Be sure to check out our Releases page to stay informed on future drops.

In 2022, the brand brought back classics like the “Chicago” Air Jordan 1, “Fire Red” Air Jordan 3, and “Playoff” Air Jordan 12. And, as if that weren’t enough, Jordan Brand is gearing up to rerelease the OG “Cardinal” colorway of the Air Jordan 7 later this month.
This forthcoming retro celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Air Jordan 7’s original “Cardinal” colorway and marks the fourth time the makeup has been released. It arrives as it did back in 1992, with a white leather upper that features bright pops of “Cardinal Red” and “Chutney.” Like the OG, it features an embroidered Jumpman logo on the lateral ankle collars and a distinctly ‘90s “23” badge at the heels.
As far as cushioning is concerned, this pair features a black foam midsole with “Cardinal Red” and white accents at the forefoot and heel portions. This classic colorway is capped off with black rubber outsoles.
The Air Jordan 7 Retro “Cardinal” is scheduled to release on DTLR.com and DTLR stores on December 17th in full-family sizing.

As such, this colorway features bold geometric patterns embossed onto the “Vachetta Tan” leather upper – the padded neoprene tongues also display a printed pattern done in black and white. The shoe is stamped with embossed Jumpman logos on the lateral ankle collars and features black Nike Air embroidery on the heels. Stark-black laces contrast the tonal base.
Underfoot, this sneaker boasts foam midsole units done primarily in black, though glossy “Taxi” and “Concord”-colored pieces accent the midfoot and heel portions. The rubber outsoles are done in the aforementioned color combination, with additional bright-red hits added into the mix.

]]>This year, the Air Jordan 7 celebrates its 30th anniversary. The model – notably worn by His Airness during the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona – broke onto the scene that same year in five original colorways, most of which have seen retro releases over the years.
However, one iteration that hasn’t seen a rerelease is the fan-favorite “Citrus” colorway from 2006. Until now, that is.
This upcoming retro stays true to the 2006 pair with black nubuck uppers contrasted by “Citrus”-scented contrast stitching. The titular yellow hue also shades the lateral ankle-collar Jumpman logos, as well as portions of the foam midsoles. From there, bright “Varsity Red” hits color the sockliners, heel tabs, “Air Jordan” tongue embroidery, and other portions of the midsoles.
Moving towards the bottom, black foam midsoles provide ample cushioning, while similarly colored rubber outsoles offer traction.Want to get your hands on this release? The Air Jordan 7 “Citrus” will be available on DTLR.com and at DTLR stores August 13th in full-family sizing.

Men far and wide now are copping Jordans in women’s because of their unique colorways. Not too long ago, guys had absolutely no interest in women’s tennis shoes. Today, hypebeasts are marking calendars to get their hands on the latest releases. The Women’s Air Jordan Retro 7 looks like it will be added to the list.
Glossy in texture while bold in color, the shoe is prominently covered in Black patent leather. Intricate stitching patterns follow suit with Black being the color choice as well. Eye-catching accents complimented the shiny patent leather to provide a needed balance. Vivid Orange and Purple are strategically placed on MJ’s many logo fonts. Not to mention, the citrus shapes on the sole are triangular in design, while edgy in appearance. Overall, the sneaker has all of the right features to become another crossover hit in stores.
For those that don't know or have been living under a rock for like the past thirty plus years, Ray Allen is arguably one of the greatest shooting guards in NBA history. Drafted in 1996, a part of the legendary drag class that included Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson and Steve Nash, Ray Allen was selected number five overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, on the draft night, he was traded to the Bucks.
The materials of the shoe, instead of a OG tumbled leather like the original pair, has been replaced by nubuck that wraps around
the entirety of the shoe. Instead of the original black outsole, it has been replaced by a green tinted outsole with shades of fierce purple. Moving over to the collar, it has been replaced by a fierce purple Jumpman instead of the original white. Maybe the most notable thing that is missing is the trademark 34 jersey number, which was located on the collar.
The Jordan 7 would not be a true Jordan 7 without the trademark 23 shield on the back. The dopest thing about this shoe that ties everything together is the Ray Allen signature and graphic on the midsole.
