AJ VII Cardinal Dec 17, 2022

I guess it depends on the pair. My 06 pair isn't slick on the bottom. It might also happen depending upon if you clean your shoes and wipe the bottom. In my experience, older kicks do this, but that slick feeling goes away if you just wear them, but don't wait too long to do it.

Word?

I have them as well and they’re nothing like that

Yeah, it's weird. I have still have plenty of shoes from around that time and it's literally the only pair like that. Mine were FAR from DS if that matters.

You have any pictures of them?

You have any pictures of them?

I don't know if you'll really be able to tell from the pics.

This dude should have nothing to complain about here. The shoes are well enough worn. For the buyer to think these should feel fresh out the box comfortable is on him.

Def a well worn pair, but you can fix the slickness by rubbing sandpaper to get that shiny coat off or lightly go over it with a dremel, but most folks wouldn't go that far and I get it.

 

[skala]

finally copped $140 shipped

 

[blacklion23]

No Jordan VII thread?

Any chance we can make this it?

Anyhow…
These would’ve been copped if they came I adult sizes. I’m disappointed smh

 

[ed_shed]

it was funny and cool to see this thread bumped. I've been wearing these things more than most lately, they're so comfy and now have a good worn look kinda like an old wrestling boot

 

[kingjay718]

My pair still DS. I need more. Such a simple, yet dope colorway, Loved how they played with the shaded of red on the VII back in 91-93.

 

[AIR J XIII]

7s are dead.

They killed them back in 2022 with all of the trash colorways and no Olympics or black/red dropping.

Refuse to give up hope.

 

[blacklion23]

Never giving up on 7s, #5 of 1-23 for me.

I’m bored so here’s the list. I made this official a few months back lol. So if the topic ever came up I’d be ready. The top 5 has been the same pretty much forever.
11, 13, 12, 23, 7, 8, 6, 4, 3, 5, 9, 1, 10, 21, 2, 14, 16, 18, 20, 17, 19, 15*, 22

I put a star by 15s because I have a deeper appreciation for them today. They could move up once I get some pairs back in hand.

 

[OldManJays]

The 7 is sooo underrated at this point. I don’t get why they are so hated or at the very least ignored. It’s one of the best models in the 1-14 lineup, with plenty of history and some of Jordan’s greatest accomplishments/moments in them. One of the more comfortable ones also.

Not as iconic as the 6’s but the colorways were more interesting overall, and the comfort level is superior.

 

[beh235]

Hearing that 7s are dead is not the news I want to hear. I hope playoffs come back. I need them.

 

[you go boy]

I forgot I had these and need to wear these more often... but I agree I wish they dropped the olympics and black/red pair... I got the olympic pair from 2012 but never liked the fit compared to the 04...

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

them kids nowadays think that these 7s are some kind of mexican jordans

 

[subtlewordplay]

True Flights baybay!!

 

[kingjay718]

them kids nowadays think that these 7s are some kind of mexican jordans

I blame the Jordan True Flight.

 

[forest hills]

I blame the Jordan True Flight.

Might be the cause. Might also be because no tiktok streetwear culture vultures or celebs aren't rocking em. Regardless, the younger crowd don't mess with 7s unless it's Charcoals/Raptors. I went to DTLR when the Cardinals came out a few years ago and some younger kids (probably high schoolers) were looking at the Cardinals and snickering, saying they look like baseball shoes and other unfunny remarks. They were shocked when I walked up the register expressing interest in the release.

 

[subtlewordplay]

That's hilarious but sounds about right. To this day I am convinced the term "mid" stemmed from 'uncool' kids (2015-2019) rocking Jordan 1 with the Jumpman logo. I can see kids trying to fit in saying those aren't even OG High bro those are "mid/mids." Haha same kids who get mad when a dope Jordan 11 comes out in lows. They be like "damn wish these came in HIGHS."

"Lows, Mids, Highs" just a bunch of Sound Engineers I swear.
