The Air Jordan VII with many similarities with the previous Air Jordan model. What was unique with the VII's was that they used some of the Nike Huarache technology to create a Air Jordan VII that really stuck to your foot. What also made you either frown or smile was the fact that the visible air sole, the Nike Air logo and the yellowing soles all were gone. When Michael Jordan went to the Olympics with the Dream Team, Nike released a special Olympic color combo of the Air Jordan VII 's. This model also featured Jordan's Olympic jersey number, 9 which made it very special since all of the previous Air Jordan models that featured his jersey number had always been either stitched or printed with the number 23. The Air Jordan VII was one of the first models that really caused the customers and collectors to take a stand. Some people hated it and others loved it more than any previous model. Sure, taste is individual and previous models had also been met with criticism but nothing as obvious as with the Air Jordan VII 's. Who knows, this might have been due to the fact that Jordan's popularity was huge by now and that Air Jordan's now were exported to all four corners of the globe making the customers a greater number than before.
