Air Jordan collectors rejoice! It’s been seventeen years since this original sample was produced, and somehow it finally showed up after probably being moved around a few times. The Air Jordan VII (7) 1992 Original Look See Sample has surfaced to show our eyes what could have been a staple pair of 7’s. The og pair of jays has a white leather upper and varsity purple suede accents, along with red, black, and teal to contrast the white midsole. The shoe has a white tongue and purple heel tab to match the rest of the shoe. Hate it or love it, this one of one sample is in the hands of fellow NT’er HipHopCaliber and won’t likely be moved around for a while now. Check out more pictures after the jump.

The Converse x Original Jams – Skidgrip Mid was previewed earlier this month, and we are now receiving word that the aforementioned mid tops will release alongside its low top counterpart, the Converse Skidgrip Low. The Skidrip Mid features a green upper with multicolored accents and a clean white midsole. The Skidgrip Low from this Jams Pack yields an extremely colorful base which sits on top of an orange stripe and a white midsole. An interesting aspect of this pack is the fact that both pairs come with a plethora of extra laces to fit all your colorful needs. These are now available at select Converse retailers including St. Alfred.

Back in 2000 before the Air Jordan 6 (VI) Retro – Black/Deep Infrared was released, many sneakerheads may remember that a sample image was seen which depicted certain midsole parts of the sneaker as infrared instead of black. This little deviation from the original sneaker had collectors going crazy and throwing fits. Jordan Brand recognized what the consumers wanted and eventually ended up releasing a product more in line with the Original Air Jordan 6 Infrared. Though at that time the sample was seen as nothing special, it is now available on the ‘Bay for a current bid of over $5,000.

Retrospect Fridays are back, and since we have just learned the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 is releasing in 2009, we thought displaying the Nike Air Griffey Max 2 (II) OG was only right. The color scheme we have here is the Black / Emerald, a favorite amongst Seattle Mariners fans.
