Jordan Brand fans have celebrated the return of several classic colorways in 2022. Most notably, the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Chicago Reimagined” and Air Jordan 2 OG “Chicago” are slated to release this October. Adding to this lineup of retros, the Air Jordan 7 “Cardinal” reissue joins Jordan Brand’s fall offerings. Last spotted in 2011, this retro comes just in time to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Air Jordan 7.

While it has been over a decade since the Air Jordan 7 “Cardinal” has hit shelves, old-school sneakerheads may now rejoice at the classic’s return. Staying true to its original form, a white leather upper returns with perforations throughout its base. “Cardinal Red” accents chime in at the midsole, heel branding and trim while a golden “Chutney” hits the lateral embroidered Jumpman and heel tab. Rounding out this retro look, black covers the majority of the sole unit, highlights the heel branding and lands on the layered Air Jordan branding at the tongue.

A release date of November 26 has been set for this retro of the Air Jordan 7 “Cardinal.” Look for it to hit shelves via Nike and select retailers at a price of $210 USD. In addition, you can also buy a pair from GOAT right now.

In other footwear news, Nike has shared official images of the Air Jordan 11 “Cherry.”
