Best advice for sneakerheads ever, “you don’t have to buy every single sneaker release only buy what you really really want”. 👏 That’s some sneaker wisdom there folks!

I got these in 3rd grade I'm 38 years old. I remember my mom bought me a pair and I wore them on my first day to school. The first day in art class, I dripped paint on the tongue and almost cried hahah. I've been a sneakerhead since birth!

[@323johnnybravo]

I had the Raptors in 3rd or 4th grade can’t remember but it rained the first day of school and wrecked them lol

[@DG-xj7pm]

@johnny bravo I used to try to hard and not wear the shoes before school started, but I always messed them up before the first day lol

[@joesmoe1347]

My first pair also . Got out roasted in class the day before then pulled up in these at school the next day Good memories

[@Greginald]

Just wanna say I'm glad you took the time to tell people they don't need to buy everything. The sneaker market cooling has made it easier to cop great pairs, but that requires some restraint. After years of Ls on snkrs, it's hard to hold back lately 😅

[@GizmoKiDd]

These were my first retros ever back in high school I was a jr 2011 when these came out. Shout out to my hard working mom for these ❤️.

[@airsakuragi2542]

The same for me as well! This is the first Air Jordan I purchased with my own allowance.

[@pac00-93]

I've got a 92 pair. The retro is pretty spot on with a few differences but not so much that it'll turn away og heads. I'm just glad they used nice/decent leather

[@jumbojet3398]

These and the 2s are the ones I wanted the most all year

[@Southsidecashh]

my first pair of jordan’s. my sister gave these to me as hand me downs heading into 9th grade. i didn’t appreciate them back then but grabbed us both a pair just because i appreciate her and the valuable memory of these shoes.

[@macayetano]

As usual, another great overall video review. The Air Jordan VII 7 is one of my favorite models. Still have my original 1992 Cardinals. Definitely going to try to pick up this 2022 retro. Hopefully, two. But, Chris was on point with buying what you truly like and want. Not every damn thing that Jordan Brand releases. As that old line from "Star Wars" stated , which I like to use, "Stay on target!!"

[@Rangatology]

I remember buying the original Olympic edition of these & the upper was nubuck, so smooooooth & broke in pretty quickly. I’m in my 40’s and have little nostalgia about shoes, this was my first Jordan’s. It’s also why I follow this channel….the shoes, the nerd-dom, your interaction with MrsWing. Keep it up guys!

[@izaiavalentin7113]

i appreciate you saying that last part with not getting every release. It’s hard to not it’s addicting. Watching all these dope jordan’s drop when i was in middle school w no money now im a full adult and can do it it’s hard to resist. so i appreciate you being that real figure in telling your viewers to not and pick and think instead of spending a lot of money. love your channel you guys are so dope!

Loved the ending about not needing every shoes, feel like people obsess over every release 💯

[@thomascalderon598]

Og 7s do not have the metal tip, only regular standard white laces. Also the smooth "leather" was actually synthetic while the tumble was real leather back in 92. Still a classic, but the red feels off, like less vibrant imo.

[@MathiasR1384]

I have a soft spot for the Cardinals, they’re one of my absolute favourite Jordans of all time even tho they’re so simple 🔥 can’t wait to get a pair

[@parish5473]

7's are forever classic, side note...That X-Men shirt 🔥🔥

[@VILEPAINTS]

My all time favorites! Remember wanting these after my cousin flexed on me and my family was broke so they shot me down fast after asking for a pair. Fast forward to 2011 and after saving up my allowance for years copped these, now I got a good enough job I can double up on these!

[@Dj_rueboi]

It’s so hard not to buy every retro Jordan that drops.. Especially if it’s not ugly . I really need to get better at that .. When it’s a OG retro it’s almost impossible 😢

[@SNKRH3AD13]

Great review...love the honesty about not buying the shoe just because. Appreciate the realness. Shoe looks great and I will be purchasing not for the hype but the nostalgia...Great job!

[@mylesp89]

The ‘06 Cardinals were the first pair of Js i bought w my own $ and i still have them. I had to get these early. It really feels like things are coming full circle with my collecting as a hobby i gotta say. I may go in a different direction starting next year and venture away from nike/ JB into some lesser known brands. Anyways, Great job on the review, as always.

I agree you don’t have to buy every Jordan shoes that come out. Me and my son just had this conversation on the cherry 11s and he asked me why I didn’t get them. I said they’re cool and probably fire for his generation but Im waiting the cherry 12s and taxis. Jordan will have you but like 20 pairs before they drop what you want. It’s ok to wait. Thanks bro

[@frogtofall]

In my limited experience with 7s, TTS is uncomfortable and I’m not a wide footer. I found the area of the shoe that surrounds the part of the foot where your toes start pinches/constricts a bit too much. Super tight. 1/2 size up feels great. Love the channel! I watch all the reviews. 😊

[@SB-hs9tt]

Same I’m usually size 8 but with this shoes I got size 8.5 they just feel better more comfortable so you right on that bro 💯

Probably its that Neoprene sock material from the Huaraches that fully conforms to your foot. Usually people have to go up half or full.

[@momnc4721]

I have been a member of your channel for years, I love how you speak the truth. You are correct, you do not need to buy every pair of shoes, but a lot of people get hooked on the idea watching KZbinrs thinking that they must buy those shoes. I recommend you to everyone who are new to the shoe game, because what you do is tell us about the shoe before it comes out. I don’t know how many times I’ve bought shoes based on just seeing them on a picture and been so disappointing, but I I use you exclusively when I want to make a good decision on the shoe. Thank You and your wife for being great at what you do🙏🏽

[@dougefresh8952]

Had the OGs in 1992, my first “good” shoe-they’re long gone now but I still have the box. I had to pay half because they cost way more than the $50 or so my mom would pay towards shoes back then. Another great video, can’t wait to get these!!

I'm late to finding this video but ill share my story with these. This is one of my favorite Jordan's in this colorway because they were the first pair of Jordan's I ever owned, I was gifted an og pair are as a baby. Sadly they wear stolen a few years back. Then when I saw them rereleasing I knew I had to get a pair, almost 30 years later and I'm reunited! 😊

[@demetriusjames9535]

One of my favorite OG Air Jordans! I, for one have no issues with them having plain Jane laces as they did in 1992. Shouldn't even be fully laced up, if they were keeping it an 'OG' buck! 💯

Yo Chris, thanks for the review, I’m definitely ready for these again. Also, you might want to double check those tech specs for the midsole, because I’m 99.9% sure the full midsole has been phylon since at least 2006.

In his review of the Infrared 7s, Chris mentions that those midsoles are phylon. I was going through the comments to see if there was any update about the midsole on these. Thanks for clearing it up!

The Cardinal 7's review I was waiting for!

[@Andrew77MUFC]

Def have my eye on these. Personally I am a big fan of 7s , after 11s, 12s , 4s , 1s & 3s - 7s are the best of the rest imo. I like the silhouette and always found them very comfortable. Olympic 7s , Raptors and Hares I prefer more than the Cardinals in terms of OGs. But with not really seeing any of those any time soon (especially in terms of Olympics and Raptors) or rumors about them ; will most likely go for these Cardinals. Though seems we are getting to the time since they were last retroed where we should see the Olympics or Raptors 7s hopefully soon.

[@michaelpinkneyjr]

Yessssssssss finallly , as fan of 7s just glad to be able to put them in my collection soon 💯💯

[@tguice76]

Friggin AWWWWWWESOMMMMMEEEE!!!!! Only thing you missed was the weight of the shoe. Its heavier!! Almost certain its due to the denser foam used on the construction of the midsole!!! Happy Holiday to both of you and your family! 💪
