**Marcus Jordan Holding Multiple Trophy Room x Air Jordan Samples**

Marcus Jordan, the son of basketball legend Michael Jordan, has long been a significant figure in the sneaker community, particularly for running Trophy Room, a boutique known for its exclusive collaborations with Jordan Brand. While Marcus has faced criticism in the past, particularly regarding handling the Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 High Freeze Out release, his recent appearance on the series finale of Full Size Run offered a fascinating insight into the creative process behind several Trophy Room x Air Jordan collaborations.

During the show, Marcus showcased a variety of samples, including those from the recent Air Jordan 7 collaboration and an alternate version of the Air Jordan 1 High Freeze Out. The sample AJ1 notably featured a blue hue instead of the red found in the retail version, drawing closer parallels to the UNC colorway than the released pair's Chicago colorway. This version was accented with gold on the Wings logo and retained the distinctive "icy" finish on the leather overlays.

Meanwhile, the Jordan 7 samples revealed a deeper dive into design exploration. Marcus highlighted a Navy version of the New Sheriff In Town colorway, initially intended as a friends and family exclusive. He also displayed other versions experimenting with materials and construction, including one with a bootie construction in a Navy and Olympic color scheme. Also revealed on the show were the two colorways of the upcoming Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 Low in Home and Away.

These samples provide a glimpse into the design journey of these coveted sneakers and reinforce the ongoing impact of the Trophy Room x Air Jordan collaborations in the sneaker world. Though these specific versions may never see a public release, they offer a unique window into the creative possibilities in sneaker design.
