Ray Allen is pretty well known for his massive collection of Player Exclusive footwear, and it’s only right that Jordan recalls a firm favourite back from his early days with a retail release of the “Bucks” Air Jordan 7 PE. Even though his team roster includes the Seattle SuperSonics, Boston Celtics and Miami Heat, the two guard cut his teeth playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, and this new PE takes details from his old ones as well as the team’s late ’90s – early ’00s colour palette.
Following a little bit like the Air Jordan 6 ‘Black Cat,’ the 7 gets draped in black nubuck replacing the leather in the original version, accented with rich purple, grey and forest green hits on the midsole, as a homage to the team’s accent colours at that time. The tongue features a jagged print with the same colours, and Ray Allen’s signature rounds in the insole rounds off the differences. One for the collectors, and die hard basketball fans of the yesteryears of NBA.
The Air Jordan 7 “Bucks” releases on June 1st for an approximate price of RM 796 at Nike.com.
