They're the Raptors, everyone needs to just deal with it and let it go. It's not that serious

'Charcoal' is actually labeled on the 02 box as the color. But like he said above, I call them blk/red or Playoff 7's.

Mods should edit the title to "Raptor 7s Releasing"

Title is misleading.

"Renaming" a nickname happens all the time:

Example: Puff Daddy becomes P. Diddy then Diddy

Air Max III becomes Air Max 90

Air Max IV becomes Air Classic Bw

It makes sense to call the Heineken SB Dunks "Heineken's" because that was the inspiration for them

The Orlando 7 Jordan from the DMP was inspired by the Orlando Magic color scheme - calling them "Orlando 7s" makes sense

"Hare 7s" make sense cause Bugs Bunny was in the Super Bowl commercial as "Hare Jordan" wearing that colorway

These Jordans were not inspired by the Toronto Raptors, so I don't refer to them as "R*****s"

 I know right, I have personally referred to them and have always heard these being called the raptors. 

It doesnt really matter we all know what shoe we are talking about

This...why are you guys butt hurt over the nickname of a shoe you didn't design?
 
Imma call them "mine" when they come out. I like the black ones myself with out the grey. Imo but ill take either one.
 
Calling them the raptors sounds un intelligent to me but to each their own call them black and purple dog turds if it makes you happy. They'll always be playoff vii's to me
 
Yo, forreal though? Ninjas are arguing for the nickname of a shoe?

On a different note, I'll probly pass on these since I got the DMPs from a couple years back in nice condition still.
 
Because Google Images is the end-all, be-all resolution to every debate in life, right?

Mods should edit the title to "Raptor 7s Releasing"

Title is misleading.

When the OP originally started this topic I was actually pretty impressed that he didn't use the "Raptor" nickname in the title....I take that back. If anything, I want to edit it NOW.

I hate the name. Why? Because to me these will always be the black/red VII's or the Playoff VII's. I never jumped on the 'raptors' name bandwagon nor will I ever. Never mind the fact that the team didn't exist when they originally released in 1992, but they don't even use the colors NOW. I understand it's one of those nicknames that took off and will never ever go away, but that still doesn't mean I have to accept it.

Yall kill me. Some of you cats are just too sensitive. Y'all all need hugs.

Its just a name. Some people use, some dont. Who cares.

I felt that the thread would have kept going off topic if I didn't put that in the title.......
