Jordan Brand Is Dropping an Alternate Version of the Air Jordan 7 "Olympic"
A different take on Tinker Hatfield’s original design is dropping in time for Rio.
With the Summer Olympics coming to Rio this August, you can bet that there will be plenty of Olympic-inspired drops as we get closer and closer to the start of the games. One you can definitely count on is the return of the classic Air Jordan 7 “Olympic.” This time around, however, Jordan Brand is going a different route than it did with 2012’s reissue. Instead of dropping the make-up that MJ himself donned on-court in Barcelona in 1992, Jordan Brand is releasing a special “Alternate” version of the classic look. Supposedly an OG Tinker Hatfield design that ultimately didn’t make the Dream Team cut, the “Alternate” take on the kicks sports a number of changes — most notably, more navy across the upper, golden accents on the branding alone, and a speckled midsole.
Jordan fans can expect the design to hit retailers worldwide August 16 for $190 USD.
