After being teased last year, the Trophy Room x Air Jordan 7 has finally been revealed. The forthcoming silhouette is among the first of [Nike’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-6-retro) Holiday 2022 releases, and this iteration celebrates the 1992 Barcelona Olympics through its unique design.

The sneaker boasts a clean mixture of ‘Obsidian/Dark Obsidian/True Red/Metallic Gold’ and references the Air Jordan 7 ‘Olympic’ which was famously seen on Michael Jordan during the 1992 Summer Olympics. The shoe features suede uppers with Olympic ring colors and gold hardware throughout, in addition to Michael Jordan’s signature on the heel and “New Sheriff in Town” embroidered on the tongue unit.

The sneakers will arrive with extra laces, a clipboard, and special packaging. The Trophy Room x Air Jordan 7 will release in October 2022 via Trophy Room.
