One difference that sets this particular silhouette apart from previous models is the “JORDAN” lettering found on the eyelets which is a homage to OG samples that featured the modification. The number 25 replaces the 23 in regards to the insole’s insignia as a confirmation of the 25th anniversary. Rounding out the details is the metal Jumpman found at the heal/collar area.

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

The Air Jordan 7 “Hare” was definitely one of the more popular, and some would say iconic, colorways of the silhouette. The Air Jordan 6 “Hare” sees what would happen if you apply the same design scheme.

Jordan Brand will now be releasing the Air Jordan 6 “Hare” that will feature a very similar color palette as the Air Jordan 7 which was released back in ‘92. One subtle yet standout detail of the sneaker is the lace-lock that’s made to look like a carrot, perfectly tying together the design with the name.

Priced at $190 USD, the Air Jordan 7 “Hare” will drop on June 17.
