As we enter another new year, we come up on the 30th anniversary of yet another Air Jordan flagship model. 2022 marks this milestone for the Air Jordan 7. The silhouette marked a departure from the similar visible air tooling of the 3 through 6 as a more quick, lightweight approach  was taken. The 7 is an underrated performer after all these years, while still looking as sleek as a fighter jet. This particular "Playoff" (not Raptor) colorway is memorable due to being the pair in which Michael Jordan delivered the Chicago Bulls their second NBA championship. Game one of the 1992 NBA Finals stands out in that series because of MJs all time great performance. In what alluded to his future style of play, the normally average three point shooting MJ hit his first six threes on the way to netting a record 35 points in the first half of play. Shot after shot fell through the basket as MJ undoubtedly had the hot hand. All the GOAT could do was shrug, for he knew he could not be stopped. This game set the tone for the series and in a few more games the Bulls would be crowned Champs once again.
It's times like those that make greatness seem like a force of nature out of anyone's control. Call it luck, call it muscle memory, the confidence takes over and you just gotta go with it. So go ahead, take a shot, and another, and another. When you hit them and it's all said and done, don't forget to give 'em a shrug.

The "True Blue" Air Jordan 3 is vastly underappreciated as far as 3s go. It's that 4th original colorway that didn't get to see NBA action on the feet of the GOAT. In spite of that fact, there's no denying how sharp these look on feet. This is the AJ3 for the streets. Pair them with some blue jeans and a white tee shirt and you're good to go. Actually, MJ did wear these once when he participated in an exhibition against the USA Basketball team in 1988. That action solidifies this pair as a must-have for aficionados of MJ's on-court kicks. This 2016 version is the template for OG style Air Jordan 3s that followed it. That blue "Nike Air" branding on the heel, Nike branding on the outsole, and the red fabric behind the tongue are authentic touches found on the original that did not appear on the 2011 Retro. The execution on these was excellent for its time and raised the anticipation for the next AJ3 releases to an all time high. It may have taken 28 years but the True Blue Air Jordan 3 was finally done some OG justice...

2017's Nike Cortez Basic OG in the "Forrest Gump" colorway is a modern take on an all-time classic shoe. We know about the Classic Nike Cortez with its dual density foam tooling, herringbone traction, and supple leather upper, but what makes this iteration so "Basic"? Well, for starters, there's the wider heel cup which wraps around the back of the shoe nearly reaching the arch area. Next there's the sleeker than original lower profile of the upper that gives the wearer a greater amount of breathing room around the ankle. Lastly, these come with a sharp looking lace dubrae that serves as a nod to the Cortez's original release year of 1972. The leather on this shoe is a bit more rugged than on the classic, making it more optimal for regular casual use. It's a great testament to this silhouette's popularity that it's still stylish after nearly fifty years. With a little design tweak here and there as time goes on, there's no doubt the Cortez will endure for many generations to come...
