The Jordan Brand has picked out some of its fan-favorite silhouettes from the past and is gearing up for their return in 2022; the Air Jordan 7 in the “Citrus” colorway is one of them.
As of now, the remarkable Air Jordan 7 “Citrus” will land again on July 2, 2022. Fans looking at these silhouettes can expect them to arrive in full family sizes for their admirers of all ages.
The pair, which will be released in fall 2022, will offer adult pairs for $200. These shoes will be readily available through Nike’s e-commerce stores and select sellers.
Air Jordan 7 Citrus set to make a comeback after debuting in 2006
Earlier this year, trusted Air Jordan news source zSneakerheadz shared a post on their Instagram account that revealed the release date for the non-OG “Citrus” Air Jordan 7 colorway.
These pairs were originally discontinued in 2006, but as part of the AJ7’s 30th anniversary celebrations, they are set to return to shelves on July 2. In 2006, these shoes were offered for $135, which rose to $200, according to reports.
Although snapshots of the upcoming retro have yet to be leaked, images of the sneaker above show that the shoe will be similar to the 2006 launch.
The upper is fashioned with black suede, red and orange hits on the Jumpman emblem, tongue and midsole. Bright colors are used to accentuate the pairs. The attention-grabbing orange juxtaposition embroidery on the shoe was a striking detail that made them look incredibly good and stand out even more. The orange Jumpman logo is placed next to the red heel tabs.
The shoe sports perforations on the sidewalls and around the heel area, which have been deliberately designed to resemble the Nike Air Huarache model, which has also incorporated an inner sock that clings to your feet.
Tinker Hatfield, known for his Air Jordan designs, developed the Air Jordan 7, with the intention of keeping them “fresh and intriguing while maintaining sophistication”.
You’ll be able to get these pairs on Nike.com and a few select stores.
How did the Air Jordan 7 come about?
The Air Jordan 7 was first introduced in 1992 in five colorways: “Bordeaux”, “Hare”, “Raptor”, “Olympic” and “Cardinal”.
Michael Jordan’s signature shoe debuted without a visible Air unit or Nike Air branding on its heels for the first time after Tinker Hatfield took over the design department for the Air Jordan series, both of which served important visual components.
The AJ7 featured a neoprene inner bootie reminiscent of a Huarache and geometric tongue decoration deeply influenced by West African tribal culture. With the exception of the “Olympic” colorway, which featured Jordan’s “9” shirt number from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the AJ7s featured a triangle on the heel that had the “23” branding.
