Even though the colorway released about three years before the team existed, the original Air Jordan 7 in its iconic black, purple, and red version has gotten stuck with the nickname “Raptors” in the years since thanks to its matching look to the original Toronto Raptors team colors. Historically inaccurate, but the “Raptors” name seems to be here for good on the classic Air Jordan 7.
Now a new Raptors look is on the scene, with the upcoming Air Jordan 5 retro in the same black, purple, and red combination made famous by the OG 7’s. But unfortunately for most of us, it appears only the young ladies get treated to this “Raptors” look on the Air Jordan 5, which will be releasing in grade school girls sizing on September 17th.
