One of the Easter egg sneakers that Carmelo Anthony only wore a few times was the Air Jordan 7.
This was the first sneaker in Michael Jordan signature line to forego Air technology, instead utilizing heel and forefoot Zoom Air. This gave a bouncier sensation compared to the impact absorbing Air Max cushioning. The Jordan 7 is also noticeably lighter than the past 6 versions, with a thinned out upper and the lightweight neoprene bootie interior. Visually, the shoe takes elements from African art, with the sharp lines directly coming from a African tribal patterns that designer Tinker Hatfield saw on a poster in Portland.
Anthony’s AJ7 for the 2004 Summer Olympic games featured his nickname on the heel, but you can find that same “Olympic” colorway without the logo HERE.
You can find the Air Jordan 7 at StockX, GOAT, Flight Club, and Stadium Goods.
