right here we have the Air Jordan 7 trophy room also known as the new sheriff in town we'll get
into all the details about this sneaker and the story behind it but first we need to crack this
box open looking at the top right here you have all over Navy on a hinged lid you have a red
Jumpman in the center of that now on one side of the Box you have a gold text and it reads trophy
room right here with the logo on the other side you have the trophy room logo in the USA red and
blue and white colorways Nike Air branding here a gold plastic circle on this side and then the
Michael Jordan signature in gold right here on the other side of the Box on the back of the
lid you got the same branding as the front and that is the Nike Air and the trophy room logo
as well and another cool detail about this box is before you slightly lift it open you can actually
read right here it says welcome to the family in gold right here and then on the size tag it
reads Air Jordan 7 retro SP obsidian metallic gold size 13 just for me and all over through
the bottom half of the Box you have a gray with a navy speckled cement print right here now let's
to open a lid of the box right here it says new sheriff in town on the top of the lid Monte Carlo
Monaco on the right side June 22nd 1992 on the left so this is partially where we get into the
storytelling element of this sneaker now when you see this part right here this is going to be like
your classic clipboard and you have a piece of paper that looks like the basketball court and
then underneath that right there you have Team blue versus Team white and then you have the
different jersey numbers so this is going to go back to the storytelling which we will talk about
in a second but it's kind of dope to see how they Incorporated all those different elements
to it and then on the back end of the card right here with the Navy and the white text right here
now you can see a little bit more about the story where it talks about MJ versus magic and how the
team had the lead and there was Zero time left on the clock and Michael Jordan named himself
the new sheriff in town and everything like that actually you know what let's just roll the clip
real quick Larry and I were talking and Michael walks in and he says it's a new sheriff in town
and we both each other like well he's not lying so you can see right there where things were kind
of going and how the story became about and next thing you know all these years later they decided
to release the shoes telling that story and y'all know me I'm a sucker for stories so let's go ahead
and take this paper back and see what this shoe is talking about so right here on the paper you
have it all over a semi-translucent white paper and then you have small logos right here with
the trophy room logo the Jumpman logo and then you have a sheriff badge right here that looks
like it's kind of on fire with a 23 on it and it stuck into a basketball so it's kind of dope
to see how they Incorporated all those little storytelling elements just on the paper as well
now peeling that that paper you have a set of white paper and then you got the shoe oh you got
this shoe now normally at this point I'm giving you guys my first impressions but we gotta talk
about another cool element when it comes to this box if you take out all the paper right here you
can actually see there's a full basketball court inside of the Box got the trophy room logo right
here and then on the side of it you got the stadium stands just like they had when they
were in their practice Arena way back in the day and Monaco so not only did they incorporate all
the stuff when it comes to the sneaker they did a really good job when it comes to the packaging as
well now when it comes to my first impressions of this shoe honestly I'm surprised by the materials
and how they feel but I'm still not mad at it and y'all know me I love Jordan sixes especially the
Carmine so these kind of got those similarities which we will talk about in a second but overall
yeah this is probably going to be on my top 10 pickups of the year so now that you guys know
a little bit of history about the shoe we got to show you guys the sneakers that I will be using in
today's comparison against this one to help tell the story a little bit more and show you a little
bit difference when it comes to colorways Styles cuts and materials there's no way we could do
this review without comparing them to the Olympic sevens right here this is my pair from 2004 yeah I
know I've been in the game for a while but either way they're they're yellowing on the toe you know
they're showing a little bit of character but I wanted to make sure that we incorporated these
in the video as well another shoe that we can't forget is the Myro Air Jordan 7s these came out
in 2008 we definitely got to talk about these comparing them to the new retro and how how they
go when it comes to storytelling design aesthetic packaging and overall just which one people like
more and last but not least like I said earlier the Carmines I know for a fact there are different
shoes I get it but color blocking is similar so I wanted to talk about that too so like typical
fashion we're gonna break down all the Styles cuts and materials and give you guys the in-depth about
this shoe starting from the bottom and working our way up so as you can see right here on the bottom
of the outsole this is very similar to the Olympic Air Jordan Sevens like we saw from 2004 there are
definitely a lot of similarities when it comes to the two outsoles and the color blocking obviously
you can tell the difference between a Jumpman being white on that one and gold on this one and
then you have a little bit more of a translucent Vibe on these compared to the solid colors with
the deeper red and the deeper blue now going up to the midsole very similar to the Olympic sevens
as well you have the same color pattern on the midsole but the colors are just a little bit more
vibrant and then like I said earlier the outsole got that more translucent with the lighter color
blue even though it is still a navy blue just a little bit different of a huge when it comes to
that but overall everything is very similar on that aspect as well now going to the upper this
is something that's very different I like to see this with the different textures and materials and
the different Hits and The Branding and the trophy room on the back and all that stuff there's a lot
to go over so like I said earlier as you can see with these two sneakers right here color blocking
is very similar to the car mines and honestly I love it because the Carmine is one of my favorite
shoes the Jordan 6 that model is my favorite model so to see them kind of put that iteration on this
shoe right here I'm not mad at it at all I know some people may or may not like it whatever it
may be but at the end of the day I think it looks pretty good let me know what you think about that
down below in the comment section and when you first saw this shoe did you think Air Jordan 6
Carmine because I know for sure I did now on the upper you have two different types of suedes on
here One's Gonna Be a lot more hairier and soft and the other one's a little bit more firm and
thinner you have more of a tan colored overlay right here with the gold eyelets all throughout
the front end of the shoe and then you have the Michael Jordan signature embossed in the back end
and another dope head that I'd love to see right here matching with the gold eyelids you have the
flashy gold Jumpman on the side of the foot this also goes really well with the Jordan Air on the
front and on the tongue and gold as well now when it comes to the Red Suede it's a lot more hairy
and a lot softer almost kind of feels like a felt type material and then you have an all Navy mesh
tongue right here in the center of the foot these come standard lace with just one lace on the front
end with the navy color and then you have two different lace options the red and the white laces
with the gold lace tips on these on all three Styles now looking on the back end of the tongue
you have a red material behind the tongs and then you have new sheriff in town stitched right there
and white text on the back end of both of the tongues as well on the right foot on the inside of
the foot right here around the ankle you have June 22nd 1992. we saw that same date in the same font
on the inside of the Box lid as well so it's nice to see that they have it on the box and on the
sneaker one thing that I love about the Air Jordan 7s is the comfortable booty that comes inside of
here very similar to a harachi Vibe we saw that being integrated around the same time back in the
early 90s so it's nice to see that because this honestly makes a really light shoe this shoe in
particular because of the materials it does make it a little bit heavier but overall the Jordan 7
when it comes to Performance and weight compared to other Jordan models it's a pretty light shoe
now looking at the insole right here you got that zigzag pattern on there giving you that
old school 90s Vibe we saw different stuff like this that Michael Jordan wore back in the day and
you got the classic Olympic colors all throughout that and then you have a trophy room patch right
here stitched in the heel of the foot I like how they were still creative on this as well where it
says welcome to the family and then you have the Jordan 7 Logo right there on the inside behind
the trophy room logo that's similar to what we see on the back end of the foot which we'll get into
in a second now looking at the back end of the hill right here this is something when it comes
to the pull tab that I immediately thought Myro sevens but it's actually interesting because it's
different than the backhand tab that they have on the Maro 7s the color pattern is different
another thing that's different on these is you have that gold kind of plated plastic piece with
the trophy room logo on the left side and then you have the number nine on the right side here on the
new retro when you're looking at the Mario 7s from back in the day you can see you have the red and
gold with the same Classic Air Jordan branding like these on the past and then these ones in
particular just have the different coloring but they still have the nine on here because that's
the number that Jordan wore back when he was in the Olympic and looking at these right here from
aging yes you can see that it's kind of white but as I rub my finger on it you can kind of tell it
does have that old navy blue back in there but that gives you that look of that older Classic
Air Jordan 7 Olympic from back in the day so now brings my next question to you guys is how do you
feel about these compared to the Mario 7s I'm very interested because obviously these are based
around the Olympics you got the Jordan seven it's a model that some people like everybody doesn't
I get that you know it's a collaboration the different aspects this was more limited you name
it there's a lot of different factors to each one to why somebody may like this one over that one
or that one over this one so I posted a poll on my Instagram story to see what everybody else thinks
and this is what they say 31 of the people chose the Miro sevens and 69 of the people chose the
trophy rooms now for me I'm rocking with the Myro still these trophy rooms are fire they're gonna
take more time to grow on me for sure and I hunted down this shoe for many years to finally get them
in my collection so maybe that's why I like this one more either way I love and appreciate both
and I'm glad to have both of my collection but I'm interested to see what you guys think about that I
know this one when it comes to the new Trophy Room Air Jordan 7 a lot more obtainable and definitely
at a way better price compared to the Mario 7s and because this shoe is so old from 2008 I could
understand why consumers may not be connected to it because they may not have been collecting
for that long or they could just say the shoe is simply ugly but either way at the end of the day
we all get to buy what we like for our Collections and I always want to emphasize that because don't
just go buy something because everybody else likes it if you like it buy it if you don't just don't
copy it now the next thing that had me a little interested was it was kind of a landslide like
I know everybody's rocking with these but I'm like do you think they like these more than the Olympic
sevens 53 of the people chose the Olympic sevens in 47 of the people chose the trophy rooms is that
a little bit too close for my liking yes but I'm happy that they still chose the Olympic sevens at
the end of the day I get it it's fresh it's new all the different stuff but you just can't beat
the OG now because everybody was so close on the Olympic sevens I had to do a poll on the carmine
sixes too because that kind of comes down to very similar color blocking and you're going
a nostalgic shoe versus a you know a newer uh collaboration type sneaker so I wanted to see what
everybody thinks and honestly I was kind of scared for this poll but this is what they said 63 of the
people chose the Carmines and 37 of the people chose the trophy rooms now this right here I was
very happy about because like I said you can't be the OG even though it's a collaboration and
all this stuff or do you is this even considered a collaboration or is it like a what do you call
this like it's his son's shoe like telling the story of the I don't know let me know what you
think about that as well Down Below in the comment section now before we get out of here we got to
talk about pricing real quick because a lot of people were shocked about these there was a high
demand and I I feel like a good amount of people got the shoe that wanted to get the shoe but I
didn't think they were expecting the price to be so low compared to other resale values and
different things like that and I have this Theory this is what I'm thinking they're currently going
for just over 250 bucks right now I'm a size 13 so again things may vary but for for relative to
my size 250 270 300 depending on what resale store you go to all the different things at the end of
the day I feel like it's a very affordable sneaker to say that it's just a little bit over retail so
everybody's wondering like what's gonna happen a lot here a lot of people say oh just hold it
the price is gonna go up if the Jordan 16 17s 23s are going for 400 to 800 there's no way an
Air Jordan 7 in time wouldn't be go going for somewhere around seven hundred to nine hundred
dollars in time that's just my theory based off of previous releases in the past and if you look at
more coveted numbers like the Air Jordan 1 or the Air Jordan 5 that they did those two in particular
those are going for over a thousand dollars and then obviously the friends and family Red version
those are gonna be going from five to seven some say ten thousand dollars either way I think just
in time like we've seen in the past what previous Trophy Room releases they go for a little bit over
retail people don't want to get them even though they want to get them for their collection but
they don't want to pay the price next thing you know a couple years go by and they're double or
triple what they were originally going for so I think if you do want to get the shoe and you're
willing to pay a couple extra bucks over the retail value I think right now is a pretty solid
time to get it and if you want to get a used pair for even better deal or whatever it is negotiating
with your friends doing trades different stuff like that I think this is a great shoe to have
in your collection I think the shoe is at a really good price and value right now and I put this on
my list before in the past for affordable sneakers to cop in this current moment it so for me instant
cop must have I love this shoe I think it's a great sneaker and this is definitely a shoe
that I would consider picking up a second pair up so let me know what you guys think about all that
