Official Images // Air Jordan 37 “Raptors”

In over two decades in the sneaker scene, there has been one debate that continues to ruffle feathers: Mike’s Playoff Air Jordan 7.

Like others from the original Jordan catalog, this earned its nickname well after the fact. And while the Air Jordan 7 “Raptors” fits the expansion franchise to a T, it simply made no sense to call it that, given that the sneaker was created three years before there was ever a team in Toronto. Furthermore, the pair is linked outside of MJ’s legacy because of this, making the debate all the more infuriating for those on the purist side of the argument. Now the debate will kick off again, with the new Air Jordan 37 “Raptors” reigniting the dispute.

Whether you call the original the “True Red,” “Charcoal,” or “Raptors” colorway, whatever it is, it inspired this new Air Jordan 37 in every way. From identical color blocking to the use of nubuck on the guards and collar, the pair is a perfect tribute to the original; It even sports a set of old-school geometric insole inspired directly by the OG’s tongue.

Grab an official look at the Air Jordan 37 “Raptors” here below, and expect to see these roll out at select Jumpman cohorts before year’s end.
