The Air Jordan VII was released in late 1991 early 1992.Hatfield created a shoe with lots of similarities with the previous model. What was unique with the VII's was that they used some of the Nike Huarache technology to create a shoe that really stuck to your foot. The visible air sole, the Nike Air logo, and the yellowing soles all were gone.When Jordan went to the Olympics with the Dream Team, Nike released a special Olympic color combo of the VII's. This model also featured Jordan's Olympic jersey number, 9 which made it very special since all of the previous models that featured his jersey number had always been either stitched or printed with the number 23. Various retros of the Air Jordan VII were released in 2002, again in 2004, and again in different colors in 2006.
