By Air Max 270, The Air Jordan 7 "Raptors" is one of the OG Air Jordan 7s; of course, it wasn't named the "Raptors" colorway back then since the Toronto Raptors weren't inaugurated until 1995. While the term ‘OG’ still carries some considerable weight, there’s no doubt that the Retro has taken over the Air Jordan sector, and anyone born in the post MJ Bulls era could still have a sick Air Jordan collection as long as the commitment is there.However, since its release, this colorway has become one of the most popular Air Jordan 7s ever, getting a retro release in 2012. Now, in 2022, rumors are that the sneaker is coming back again.
The Air Jordan 7 "Raptors" is dressed almost entirely in black suede with the base and overlays using this color throughout. Dark Charcoal accents appear on the tongue and on the sole, adding a little bit of shading to the sneaker. Then, bright red and purple accents take over. Red appears on the Jumpman logos on the ankle panels, the tongue, the "23" on the heel tab, the sock lining, and on the midsole's triangular designs. Purple appears on the heel pull tab and midsole. This combination of colors eventually became known as the "Raptors" colorway because of its likeness to the Toronto Raptors' old-school jersey designs featuring purple and red.
Merging design elements of the Air Max 180 and Air Max 93, the Nike Air Max 270 Black Gold features an Air Max cushioning system designed for lifestyle instead of performance. This colorway is complemented with Light Bone hues on the adaptable mesh and leather construction. Additionally, the upper is contrasted with a bronze Air Max unit to provide ample cushioning and comfort.this Air Max 270 features a Light Bone upper of mesh and leather atop an oversized and inflated heel unit in Sepia Stone.
