Another classic Air Jordan is scheduled to make a comeback in the middle of May 2015.
Kicks on Fire wrote that the Air Jordan 7 "Hare" will be officially released on May 16. The sneaker sports a design that looks back at the partnership between Michael Jordan and iconic Looney Tunes cartoon character Bugs Bunny. Sneaker News noted that Jordan and Bugs Bunny appeared together in a TV commercial in 1992 and made waves throughout the world because of their unique friendship. The two have been together for 23 years and even appeared in the movie "Space Jam," together with other Looney Tunes characters and a few other NBA stars.
Kicks on Fire added that the Air Jordan 7 "Hare" appears just like the original version, with some improvements. The basketball shoe features the same colorway with white, light silver, tourmaline and true red tones. The shoe still presents the multi-colored tongue and outsoles with the polygonal patterns.
According to an article by Sneaker Bar Detroit, the Air Jordan 7 Retro "Hare" will be a "remastered" version, which means that it will feature the same materials that were used in the original pair to ensure that wearers get an excellent quality product that lasts a long time. The high-top shoe will retail at $190 and will be available at select Jordan Brand retailers. The sneaker celebrates the Jordan Brand's 30 years in the shoe industry.
The "Hare" Jordan features a white and light silver upper. There are perforations on the shoe that are aimed at providing adequate ventilation. The midsole, shoelaces and parts of the outsole are white. There is a red stitched Jumpman logo on the ankle area and a purple Jumpman logo on the outsole. There is a purple number "23" on the back of the shoe as well. There are hints of true red on the outriggers of the shoe along the midsole as well as on the tongue and sock liner. There is a black heel tab as well. Players basically like the performance of the Air Jordan 7 with its high-top and great cushioning. The outsoles also feature perforations with outriggers that provide great traction on the court.
Sneaker News also said that the remastered "Hare" Jordan 7 also features a neoprene mesh tongue with orange and green tones that gives reference to Bugs Bunny's addiction to carrots. The shoes come in a black and gold "30th Anniversary" box and includes a Bugs Bunny retro card.
