Air Jordan 2

The Air Jordan 2: A trainer that sparks debate

The Jordan 2 was launched on the NBA courts in 1987. Designed by Peter Moore , the creator of the Jordan 1 , and Bruce Kilgore, famous for the Air Force 1 , this "unloved" model from the Jumpman brand accompanied Michael Jordan throughout his third season with the Chicago Bulls.

Despite a design inspired by Italian luxury brands, the AJ2 has never really convinced. Too different? Maybe. Michael Jordan , who inspired the eponymous trainers line, Air Jordan , was so disappointed with this pair that he almost didn't renew his contract with Nike . However, if it was not unanimous upon its release, the Nike Jordan 2 will nevertheless be imagined in numerous versions in 2021 and 2023, with Jordan 2 Low and Jordan 2 High models.

Unique look: The Jordan 2 revolutionizes!

Why unique? Because the Air Jordan 2 is one of the rare Nike sneakers not to feature the famous swoosh on its lateral sides! In addition, we can largely say that its design is unlike any other Jordan trainers .

On the other hand, although the usual swooshes are not present on this shoe, we do find the Nike and Air Jordan brandings, the "NIKE" inscription in capital letters on the top of the heel, as on the Dunk , as well as the logo Jumpman on the tongue. Overall, the Jordan 2 sneaker looks more like a sneaker dedicated to playing basketball than a classic trainers . Its upper, available in Low , Mid and High versions, is based on inserts of materials, such as suede or synthetic leather, lizard skin or even rubber, creating an impression of relief and originality to this Jordan sneaker.

A sneaker requested by collaborations

After regaining popularity, the Nike Air Jordan 2 was featured in several collaborations that were as distinctive as they were rich in value. The Parisian fashion label Maison Château Rouge, which highlights African heritage and multiculturalism in its collections, has become a regular in trainers collaborations, and in particular with the Jumpman brand. After a Jordan 1 Mid in 2019 and Limited Series in 2022, a Jordan 2 Maison Château Rouge was born, a collaboration wishing to “celebrate the aesthetics of the African diaspora and encourage a new creative language” , reveals the Parisian house.

In another dimension, we change continent and we go to South America for a unique association between a Colombian singer and the Jordan Brand : the J Balvin Jordan 2 “Celestine Blue”. Very different from the Jordan 1 previously imagined, it features a sky blue quilted dress accompanied by cloud patterns and the reggaeton singer's usual branding: a bright yellow smiley face.

How do Jordan 2s fit?

Unlike some of the more popular Air Jordan models, the Nike Jordan 2 runs true to size. We therefore recommend that you choose your usual size if you are interested in purchasing a pair of Jordan 2 Low , or High !

What is the most beautiful Air Jordan 2

You have surely understood that the Jordan Air Jordan 2 are not the model that everyone is snapping up. However, when we talk about the Air Jordan 2 Maison Château Rouge United Youth National , opinions change. This pair? A real beauty. Its mix of colors, mainly white with just the right amount of orange, literally leaves no one indifferent.

Many understood that the Air Jordan 2s were for sneakerheads looking to stand out, to bring that little extra originality and to avoid following the herd. A little novelty definitely doesn't hurt!
