When the Air Jordan 7 debuted in 1992, it marked a bold departure from its predecessors. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the silhouette embraced geometric patterns and vibrant colorways inspired by African tribal art, all while ditching visible Air units and exterior Nike branding.

This sneaker became a cultural icon, standing the test of time as one of the most beloved Jordans.
