In a 2011 when we already know to expect at least three other Air Jordan VII Retro releases, one stands out as the biggest. But just how did the AJ7 ‘Bordeaux’ become one of this year’s most highly anticipated releases? Probably has a little something to do with the fact that this colorway epitomizes early ’90s color palettes, but we’ve only been teased by a sample back in 2001 that never made it to production. So we’ve been waiting for this shoe to re-release for nineteen years, which means the samples in these new photos are even older than that! A deadstock pair of Air Jordan 7 Bordeaux OG samples is the type of thing that’d require a wide screen for viewing in eBay, but instead of emptying your bank account on a shoe you’ll probably never even get the chance to bid on, just check out the pics. via Foot Locker & Sneaker News
