Air Jordan 7. This was designed by Hatfield again and was released in late 1991. Michael Jordan wore a special Air Jordan 7 model during his 1992 Barcelona Olympics stint. The shoes were re-released in 2002, 2004, and 2006.
Again, Hatfield chose to stick to a winning formula with the VII, although it differed from its ancestors in that it incorporated Huarache technology to provide a more comfortable ride for the wearer. Also noteworthy were the three absences on this shoe: the Nike logo, the visible air unit and the translucent soles that yellowed irreversibly with age.
Further information
- The special Olympic model of this shoe is the only Air Jordan to feature the number nine in place of the twenty-three which has adorned every other version before and since.
