Arguably the biggest Nike Air Jordan Retro of the 2011, the Bordeaux VII has been a Retro release 19 years in the making. After Michael rocked them in the ’92 All-Star Game, the Bordeaux VII were thrown back into the vault and kept quiet for nearly two decades, and it’s just ready to burst out this April when it will finally release for good. Of course, you can show off your pair a little earlier because the Nike Air Jordan VII Retro “Black/Light Graphite-Bordeaux” are available right now ahead of release date.

There is something about seeing pics of unreleased samples that’s so bittersweet. On the one hand, it’s in our nature as sneakerheads to want to see every Air Jordan colorway ever produced, but it can be a hard pill to swallow when you see some of the incredible kicks that never made it to retail. In the case of this Bordeaux Nike Air Jordan VII, the colorway is nothing new to Jordan fans, but how bad does it burn you to know that these classics almost made it to stores as a Retro release? Apparently, these size 9 samples were created back in 2001, but were eventually scratched in favor of the “Raptors“, which were brought back in 2002. As of now, there is no plan to re-release these gems anytime soon, so needless to say, there are a lot of collectors out there that would kill to get their hands on these. The good news is that you can check out a ton of images after checking out the link, and if you are ready to drop some serious dough, this incredibly rare size 9 sample is available now.
