There’s no doubt that there will be a distinct Air Jordan void on the Boston Celtics squad in the upcoming season, with longtime Jordan Brand athlete Ray Allen packing his bags for South Beach. And while he’s one of the main faces of Nike Basketball representing the Hyperfuse line and all wouldn’t it be cool if Rajon Rondo stepped up to fill that void? He did briefly in terms of footwear at a Red Bull skills clinic out in the Philippines, rocking the Air Jordan VII ‘Olympic’ while schooling the youth. Click through for the shots and stay with us should Rondo continue with his Air Jordan ways.

Will they be back around in four more years? For the past couple of Summer Olympic Games the Air Jordan VII ‘Olympic’ has popped in and out of the retro release schedule, arriving of course this summer and in 2004 as well. The 2004 Air Jordan VII ‘Olympic’ was a pretty close rendition of the original Mike made famous in Barcelona, pre-dating the FLOTG logo on the back end that showed up in a later version.

As far as numbers MJ donned on his jersey the 9 is probably the one he spent the least time in, obviously nowhere near as attached to his legacy as the 23 or the post-retirement 45. Yes it was this number that he rocked during the Dream Team’s historic performance at the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, and it was these sneakers he rocked-the Air Jordan VII ‘Olympic’. The pair is coming back around 20 years after the fact, with a retro release on tap for July 21st. Hit the jump to check out the photos and let us know if you’re picking up this Air Jordan VII this summer.
