Inspired by a sweater Michael Jordan wore in a couple of famous appearances back in 1992 — most notably his McDonald’s “H.O.R.S.E.” commercial with Larry Bird — the Air Jordan 7 Nothing But Net was first previewed back in February in official, Jordan Brand-furnished photos. But come on, how objective can those be? JB’s not going to let their shoe look bad in their own intricately controlled images.
Well, today we get unofficial leaked looks, which can be much more telling. The verdict? Damned if this shoe doesn’t still look fantastic. The white leather’s still crisp and clean, with eye-popping overlays dressed up in MJ’s sweater print for bold, colorful contrast and an irrevocably 90s bent befitting the Air Jordan 7. Like so many classic Air Jordans, it’s all about the interplay between simple and intricate, colorful and subdued.
But judge for yourself; the new photos are below. And look for the Air Jordan 7 Nothing But Net release date on November 14.
