Originally believed to be inspired by the upcoming Olympic Games, this Air Jordan 7 is now known to be inspired by the great Spanish artist Joan Miró and his famous sculpture called “Woman and Bird”. Miró died shortly before Michael Jordan helped team USA take gold in the ‘84 Olympics, in addition Michael Jordan originally wore the Air Jordan 7’s in the ‘92 Games when USA took gold, this time in Miró’s hometown of Barcelona, Spain. Thus the reasoning for the Air Jordan VII as the basis for the tribute. The shoe greatly resembles the “Woman and Bird” sculpture with its multi-colored designs covering the uppers and with its matching laces. Featured on the back of the shoe is Jordan’s Olympic number 9. This shoe will be available at the Opium store in Barcelona on July 3rd. via Nice Kicks
