The Air Jordan Chambray
VII’s were released in February 2006, and came with a black and white retro
card. I really miss the days when Jordan
Brand would include retro cards. I
assume they stopped putting them in because retro sneakers weren’t as limited
as before. Now you get a retro Jordan
every month, so there’s no need to add an additional item with a release. Not many people cared for the card when it
stopped being included, but I did. I
just felt a special attachment to the artwork and photos when I would look at
them. It’s like it would remind me of
the ‘good-old days’ when Air Jordan’s were the best sneakers.
Today, I have a
different opinion of the Brand and the sneakers. Not that I think they’re producing garbage,
but is just not the same quality. I do
however still treasure the sneakers that I have in my collection. The pair I’m reviewing for this post are the
Air Jordan Chambray VII. I bought them
back in 2006 after many months of waiting for them. I would look at websites that would show
pictures of the shoes before the release and I would save up to get them. It kind sucked that I was broke at the time because
I also wanted the Flint VII’s, but could only afford one pair, so I went with
the Chambray`s which I don`t regret.
The shoes are made
with black nubuck and feature chambray (a powder blue), white and grey accents
throughout the shoe. The item number for
these sneakers is 304775 042. According
to Tinker Hatfield he got design inspirations for the shoe from African tribe
artwork. The triangles are a real nice
touch, and I really love the circles on the soles which act as traction for the
shoe. The laces are thin but come with
lace tips that are painted chrome which shine when light hits them. Though this is a retro, the overall
silhouette of the sneaker is still faithful to the original VII’s. This is an excellent release and I highly
recommend them if you plan on getting them.
