Air Jordan VII Citrus


My cousin Tyler hooked me up with these amazing set of kicks. Thanks again, cuz. Its colourway is based on the Gatorade logo, but I guess copyright laws prevented some sort of collabo and was appropriately named the Air Jordan VII Citrus.

Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the look of the shoe is inspired by African tribal artwork.


Originaly released for the 1991-1992 season, Michael Jordan wore these to capture his second straight NBA Championship where he was also awarded the NBA Finals MVP Trophy, and was named the league's Most Valuable Player.


A special "American" colourway was made when he captured the gold medal during the 1992 Summer Olympics as a member of the Dream Team.



He was also featured in Michael Jackson's music video; Jam, and wore the Air Jordan VII model.


The sneakers, at the time, were referred to as the "Hare Jordan" when Bugs Bunny coined the term in this commercial with MJ.
