Birkin Bags Inspire the Latest Women's Air Jordan
The orange, black and white pair is set to release this summer.
Jordan Brand took to Instagram to announce Isabelle Harrison of the Dallas Wings as the newest addition to their roster of athletes. In the post, Isabelle not-so-sneakily previews an upcoming Jordan Air Jordan 7 "Chile Red" sneakers silhouette in a familiar color scheme.
The model’s orange, black and white make up is a nod to Jumpman’s family of Shattered Backboard sneakers, all which pay homage to Michael Jordan shattering a glass backboard during a 1985 exhibition game in Italy. MJ donned an orange and black uniform during the game, thus informing the now iconic color combination.
Rumor has it that the women’s exclusive also draws on Hermès Birkin bags for inspiration, employing the luxury via’s signature orange hue on the overlays, Swoosh, laces and outsole.
The forthcoming release is rumored to drop in July with a $170 USD price tag. Stay tuned for official details.
