- Air Jordan 7 "Miro" releases July 10 for $255 on Nike SNKRS, style code IQ6573-100.

- Heel carries Michael Jordan's Dream Team Olympic number, 9.
For the Air Jordan 7, "OG" has always meant Barcelona. The silhouette was on Michael Jordan's feet at the 1992 Olympics, and its most storied colorways trace back to that summer — none more literally than the "Miro," which turns a shoe into a piece of the host city. On July 10, Jordan Brand brings it back for $255 on the Nike SNKRS app, its first retro since the ultra-limited 2008 original.
The design borrows directly from Joan Miró, the Catalan artist whose work defines public Barcelona. The multi-color splatter of yellow, red, green, blue and black across the white leather upper pulls from Dona i Ocell ("Woman and Bird"), Miró's towering Barcelona sculpture. It is one of the rare sneaker graphics with a specific artwork as its source rather than a vague "art-inspired" brief, per Sole Retriever.
The Olympic thread runs through the details. The heel wears Jordan's Dream Team jersey number, 9, in place of the usual 23, and the translucent outsole is finished with gold and flag graphics — a nod to the gold medal the 1992 US roster never came close to losing. Complex notes the crisp white leather is paired with nubuck panels that let the color bursts carry the shoe.
The "Miro" first surfaced in 2008 as an ultra-limited release, which is why it has stayed a deep-cut favorite rather than a mainstream grail. The 2026 version releases July 10 via Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers, per Sneaker Bar Detroit.
That is the real story of this drop. Jordan Brand is spending 2026 mining the specific, the regional and the story-driven — the same instinct behind the Air Jordan 3 "True Blue" OG and the numbered, collector-grade Air Jordan 3 "Bin 23" — rather than leaning only on the household-name colorways. Reissuing an ultra-limited 2008 deep cut at full scale is a bet that the audience now rewards depth of narrative over instant name recognition, the same logic that made the pre-order Air Jordan 3 "Knicks" land. For a $255 retro, the Miró backstory is what you are actually buying.
