This year, Jordan Brand has decided to break from its usual tradition of releasing the Air Jordan 7 Olympic colorway alongside with the Summer Olympic games. Well, somewhat at least. Using the Olympic 7s as base, legendary designer Tinker Hatfield has altered the infamous colorway to give it a fresh new look. The White, Midnight Navy, and Metallic Silver upper remains mostly unchanged, save for a red, white and blue tongue. The midsole now sports silver accents instead of gold, and gets complemented with a red gradient pattern, overlaid with speckles. Overall, revised design gives this classic a more modern look with not straying away from the essence of the Olympic games.
The Air Jordan 7 Alternate Olympic colorway will release on August 16, right in the middle of the Olympic Summer games. Expect a retail price of $190. If you’d still prefer the original, you can easily find the 2004, 2012 and possibly even the original version on eBay. Here’s a link to view the listings.
