When Was the Original Release of the Air Jordan 7 ‘Miro’?
It’s been 18 years. The “Miro” 7 first released on July 3, 2008 as the Air Jordan 7 Retro OC “Miro Olympic.” It was produced in extremely small numbers — around 1,000 pairs worldwide — tied to the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics while celebrating MJ’s gold with the 1992 Barcelona Dream Team and Joan Miró’s “Dona i Ocell” sculpture.
Retail was $175, but scarcity and the unique art-meets-Olympic story quickly pushed resale into the four-figure range, where it still sits today.
The Air Jordan 7 silhouette is forever linked to the Dream Team era, and the “Miro” took that connection further than any other colorway by weaving in Barcelona’s actual artistic heritage.
The “9” on the heel instead of “23” — a nod to Jordan’s Olympic jersey number — is one of those details that makes this pair feel like it belongs in a museum rather than a rotation. For collectors who missed the original, this has been a grail-list staple for nearly two decades.
What Will Be Different About the 2026 Version?
The availability is a key difference. Instead of a sub-1,000-pair micro-run, the 2026 retro will hit Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers globally. It’s still being described as “limited stock,” but this is a fundamentally different launch window than the original.
The price is also stepping up — $225 for adult sizing compared to the original $175 — but that’s in line with recent premium AJ7 pricing across the board.
Early breakdowns say Jordan Brand is keeping the White/Metallic Gold/Sport Red/Varsity Royal blocking and Miró-inspired graphics but updating the last and shape to current-era standards. Expect a cleaner toe shape and a slightly tweaked leather and nubuck mix compared to the 2008 build.
The key details remain — the “9” on the heel, translucent outsole with gold and flag-style graphics, abstract primary-color accents, and the five-lace box set. Minor differences in print placement or color saturation versus a pair that’s nearly two decades old are expected, but the DNA is intact.
With the AJ7 “Miro” returning along with a few new colorways from the silhouette, it seems clear Jordan Brand is leaning into the 7 in 2026.
