The Air Jordan 7 is celebrating 35 years next year, and with that hallmark celebration comes retros. Worn during Michael Jordan’s 1992 run to his second NBA title, the Air Jordan 7 is a standout model in Jordan’s historic signature line, known for its iconic iterations like the Olympic, Bordeaux, and Raptors colorways. The latter predates the Toronto team by three years, but the future existence of the team gave the colorway enduring life. Last seen in 2012, the Air Jordan 7 Retro Raptors has been awoken from the amber for a release next year. Now, retailer images of the fan favorite have arrived.

Air Jordan 7 Retro Raptors Details

The model stays true to the original with a charcoal grey nubuck base topped with black nubuck overlays on its organic-shaped overlays. That same black reaches to the ankle collar and heel. Lying in the ankle cutout is more grey nubuck with the Jumpman embroidered in red. The black, charcoal, and red motif carries over to the repeating angular 23 on the tongue, which is also topped by red Air Jordan branding.

Red accents carry over to the sockliner and parts of the jagged midsole and outsole. Purple details pop up sparsely on the midsole and heel tab to add an extra visual layer to the pre-cognitive pair. A rubberized black chevron with red ‘23’ branding on the heel completes the look.
