It may be just me, but I always thought of this colorway as a nod to the 1988 Olympics. Red, white and blue wasnt a common colorway back then and with the rising popularity of the Air Jordan, they probably wanted a colorway to capitalize on the Olympic hype. Just like Olympic 7s were created to celebrate the 1992 Olympics.
