It took nearly two decades to get an Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’ retro, but not even a year for the colorway to then be copied over to another model. There’s plenty of the four pairs that led up to the AJVII in the Jordan Spiz’ike ‘Bordeaux’, so the colorway works out with some of Jordan Brand’s love of number patterns. Some have questioned if the tonal grey-based colorway could have been truer to the 1992 original, but you could just as easily argue that the degree of difference for each accent shade serves as both a nod of respect to that impeccable classic and a way for this pair to have a more unique identity despite its similarity to one of the great OG Air Jordans. Check them out in more images after the jump so you can decide for yourself and stick with Sneaker News for the solid US release date. via Air-Randy
