The Air Jordan 7 Retro Chambray Colorway Release of 2006

When the Air Jordan 7 was first released in 1992, it sold for $125. This iconic sneaker now has a resale value averaging 5-10 times its initial retail price—making it a favorite among sneakerheads.

The initial AJ 7 model was conceived by designer Tinker Hatfield for Jordan to wear in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain, alongside fellow Dream Team members Magic Johnson, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing.

During the team's gold medal run, Jordan wore an Air Jordan VII original model, which featured his Olympic number 9 in place of the number 23, MJ's original NBA jersey number.

Air Jordan VII's Long Line of Retro Collections

In 2002, Nike launched the Air Jordan 7 Retro for a short-lived release, a decade after the original silhouette's debut. It was offered in Charcoal, an original colorway, and French Blue, the first new color since the OG collection's initial release.

Two years later, the brand brought back the 7 Retro in a limited release. Then, in 2006, another 7 Retro collection launched, with Nike expanding the line to six colorways, adding two LS versions, followed by the reissue of the original Cardinal colorway and an exclusive women's style. This release included the much sought-after Chambray colorway.

In 2008, the brand launched the exclusive Jordan VII Retro "Miro" for its Olympic Celebration collection. The Metallic Gold/Red colorway was inspired by the famous Spanish painter Joan Miro. This shoe continues to be one of the rarest Air Jordan 7s on the market and bears an artistic homage to the glory days of the shoe brand's genesis moment.

Jordan 7 Retro Chambray 2006

As a nod to the 1992 original, the Nike brand released a new rendition of the Air Jordan 7 in 2006 featuring a Chambray colorway. Its black suede upper coats everything from the toe top and heel to the side panels, overlays, and ankle cuff. Chambray blue accents introduce themselves on the lateral ankle's Jordan Jumpman logo, on the tongue's Jordan text, on the inner tongue liner, on its midsole accents, and on the bottom tread's Jordan Jumpman emblem. The remainder of the outer sole is coated in a geometric black, white, Light Graphite, and Chambray design. A similar design appears on the sneaker's tongue and heel accents. The Chambray colorway made its way onto the Air Jordan 7 on February 25, 2006.
