We’ve seen countless Olympic inspired sneakers this year but one of the most iconic, the Air Jordan 7 Retro Olympics, is getting a different kind of retro this month.\u00a0Instead of re-releasing the Olympic AJ7 colorway that Michael Jordan wore as a member of the Dream Team<\/a> in Barcelona back in 1992, Jordan Brand is dropping the “Tinker Alternate” Jordan 7 Olympics<\/a>\u00a0seen below. As the story goes, legendary designer Tinker Hatfield created this alternative Olympic colorway\u00a0back in the day but it never made it to production. Tinker’s version of the Olympic 7 adds Midnight Navy to the upper and trades the silver overlays for white leather overlays. Silver finds its way onto the tongue and the heel pull is swapped from red to blue, with final touches coming in a multi-color midsole with splattered paint on the forefoot. Fast forward twenty-some odd years later and this\u00a0Tinker Alternate colorway is this year’s Jordan Olympic release (along with a handful of others).<\/p>\n
