I purchased this shoe through a running specialty store. I've been trying to get back in shape and started slowly on a treadmill. After a weeks worth of treadmill running I got tired of it and moved it outside. My first run outside was a 3 miler and I had blisters and very sore feet/calf muscles after the run (running in a medium priced adidas shoe). Hence the need for new shoes. I chose the shoe because it felt better than other options in the store. I was unaware of the price tag until they told me the cost at the register. While I was taken back, I did not let the price stop me from buying the shoe. I have fairly thin/long feet, these lace up nicely and do not bunch as much as other shoes on my feet (happens frequently with my thin feet). The cushion on the inside is extremely comfortable. I tried the shoes 1st on the treadmill and was able to run 4 miles without any pain or blisters. I then ran a 3 miler outside the next day and was able to complete my run with no blisters or soreness in my feet or calves. The price tag was a bit expensive but it is worth it for me. Highly recommend the shoe to anyone.
The Air Jordan 7 was released in 1992. Tinker Hatfield created the Air Jordan 7 which had many similarities with the Air Jordan VI model. The Air Jordan 7 was unique because it used some of the Nike Huarache technology to create a shoe that really stuck to the consumer's foot. The visible air sole, the Nike Air logo, and the yellowing soles all were no longer featured on the Air Jordan 7. The Air Jordan 7 model is also commonly known as the "Hares" because the commercials promoting the shoe featured cartoon character Bugs Bunny. This was the first Air-Jordan in the line that did not have any distinctive "Nike Air" on the outer portions of the shoe. The "Nike Air" can be found on the in-soles. Nike was unhappy about this, but the designer, Tinker Hatfield, had a greater vision believing that the "jumpman" could stand on its own. A precursor to "Jordan Brand" about 6-7 years down the road. When Jordan went to compete at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics to play for the US Men's Basketball Team (also known as the "Dream Team"), Nike released a special Olympic color combo of the Air Jordan 7 model which featured Jordan's Olympic jersey number, 9 while all of the previous Air Jordan models that featured his jersey number had always been the number 23. Various retros of the Air Jordan 7 were released in 2002, again in 2004, and again with different colors in 2006. In 2011 the Air Jordan 7 saw releases in the "Orion" and "Bordeaux" colorways. Other colorways are confirmed for a 2011 release as well, such as the "Cardinals" and "Year of the Rabbits".
