An Air Jordan 7 Celebrating Music, Culture, & Fashion!
The 2022 Air Jordan 7 Retro “Afrobeats” (DZ4729-200) is a retro basketball shoe from Jordan Brand that looks to celebrate the vibrance of “Afrobeats” music that has recently been made famous around the world by African-born artists such as WizKid and Burna Boy.
Featuring a light golden brown leather upper, embossed detailing on the rear heel and mid-foot panels, and African-inspired accent colors and patterns throughout, this is one of the most imaginative Air Jordan 7 releases of 2022. Completing the look is the black midsole and laces and Nike Air branding on the heel that provides a tasteful level of contrast and uniqueness to the sneaker’s overall design.
