What You Need to Know: Trophy Room’s latest Air Jordan collab brings a new approach to the Air Jordan 7. Dubbed the “New Sheriff in Town” colorway, the pair is dressed in a red suede upper with tan overlays. Additional accents include a navy blue tongue and metallic gold accents. A multicolored heel pull tab is meant to nod to the ‘92 Olympics. More specifically, it is meant to reference a scrimmage that the legendary Dream Team engaged in behind closed doors in which Michael Jordan reportedly dominated. “New sheriff in town,” the message Jordan reportedly gave to Larry Bird and Magic Johnson following his team’s victory in the scrimmage, is stitched on the inner tongue.

Social Status’ logo has been fused with a Nike Swoosh to replace the usual branding on each lateral panel.

What You Need to Know: Olajuwon Ajanaku and Earl A. Cooper’s Eastside Golf is following up its Air Jordan 4 collab built for the links with a much more wearable collaboration. The brand’s Air Jordan 12 sports a cream leather upper with burnt orange accents on the mudguard and outsole. A mud splatter effect on the heel area, sand and grass prints covering each insole, and grass imagery peaking through translucent panels on the outsole act as nods to the golf course. As a final touch, Eastside Golf’s logo replaces the Jumpman logo usually present on the tongue of the Air Jordan 12. Along with this pair, the golf brand has also crafted a tonal colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Low and matching collection of apparel.
