Good things don’t stay in the past for long, especially in the sneaker world. Case in point: Jordan Brand is readying a rerelease of the iconic “Chambray” Air Jordan 7 Retro from 2006. This marks the first time the colorway has seen a release since then.

This early-2000s makeup boasts a sleek black nubuck upper with bright "Chambray" hits that brighten up the tonal look. The lateral Jumpman logos, “23” badges on the heels, and portions of the foam midsoles come in the light-blue hue.

Down below, this Air Jordan 7 Retro boasts “Light Graphite” foam midsole units, which feature the aforementioned “Chambray” hits. Rubber outsoles are done in a combination of “Light Graphite,” “Chambray,” black, and white, completing the look.

Looking to grab a pair? The Air Jordan 7 Retro “Chambray” will be available July 15th on DTLR.com and DTLR stores for a retail price of $200. Don’t miss out.

In 2021, Jordan Brand released a “Bordeaux” Air Jordan 6, inspired by the original Air Jordan 7 colorway of the same name. And later this year, the sportswear brand will flip the script with an upcoming Air Jordan 7 release that pays homage to an OG Air Jordan 6 makeup.

Scheduled to release at the end of June, the forthcoming Air Jordan 7 Retro “White Infrared” pays homage to the original Air Jordan 6 “White/Infrared” from 1991. This version of the Air Jordan 7 features a white leather upper with matching laces. The all-white base is contrasted with black tongues, ankle-collar panels, and pull tabs.

Bright “Crimson” hits steal the show – they appear on the lateral-ankle Jumpman logos, the tongues’ embroidered Air Jordan lettering, and the heels’ “23” TPU badges. Portions of the foam midsole units also take on the bright “Crimson” tone, while the remaining sections are done in white. Icy, semi-translucent rubber outsole units complete the look.

Be on the lookout for the Air Jordan 7 Retro “White Infrared,” slated to release June 30th on DTLR.com and DTLR stores. The retail price is set at $200.

The Air Jordan 7 ended 2022 on a high note with the rerelease of the fan-favorite “Cardinal” colorway. Now, Jordan Brand will look to carry the ‘90s silhouette’s momentum into the new year with a new “Black Olive” take.

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.

Listen, I love a new colorway as much as the next guy. But when it comes to Air Jordans, I prefer them in their original form. There’s something special about wearing a sneaker that Michael made history in – I know many Jordan enthusiasts feel the same way. And luckily, there’s been no shortage of OG goodness this year.

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.

The Air Jordan 7 has been pretty quiet in 2022, but Jordan Brand’s turning up the volume on the retro model later this month with a brand-new colorway. Dubbed “Afrobeats,” this new take nods to Tinker Hatfield’s inspiration behind the original design: the tribal artworks, prints, and colors of Africa.

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.

Looking to secure a pair? The Air Jordan 7 Retro SE “Afrobeats” will be available on DTLR.com and DTLR stores on October 22nd. Retail is set at $210.

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.

Women, the time has come where you too may have to start camping out to cop some heat.

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.

The Women’s Air Jordan Retro 7 will be available on 10/31 at local DTLR/VILLA locations and online here.

On this weeks Episode of UNED Brian gives a look at the upcoming Air Jordan 7 "Ray Allen" releasing this Saturday June 1st!

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.

The Air Jordan Retro 7 “Ray Allen” drops Saturday 06/01/2019 in both Mens and GS sizes in-store and online HERE.
