The Air Jordan 2, Michael Jordan’s second signature shoe, is a polarizing Jordan Model. People either love them or hate them. 

The Air Jordan 2 first debuted in November 1986. The shoe was designed by Bruce Killgore and Peter Moore. It was conceived as a blend of luxury and on-court performance. The Air Jordan 2 features a rich leather upper, the excellent traction pattern of the Air Jordan 1, and incorporates a full-length air unit for cushion.

Air Jordan 2 Union Grey Fog Review

The Air Jordan 2 Union Grey Fog looks to make the Jordan 2 silhouette cool again and build on the success of the Off-White x Air Jordan 2 Low. However, the Air Jordan 2 Union is different from the Air Jordan 2 Off-White because of the material switch-up. The AJ 2 Union reminds us of another release that went straight

Get Up Close and Personal with the Air Jordan 2 Retro ‘Radio Raheem’

These look amazing. Plain and simple. I’m a big fan of the Air Jordan 2 Retro, despite what everyone else thinks about the shoe. They’re comfortable and play well on-court. Remastering the AJ2 was a great idea though. This was the first luxury Air Jordan to ever release. Italian leather, hand crafted in Italy. C’mon, Jordan’s used to be so

Air Jordan ‘Alternate’ Collection

The Air Jordan ‘Alternate Collection’ is my favorite of the upcoming 2016 lineup. The 5’s were a PE that never released and they’re not an MJ PE either. The tongue on them has been changed since the last time the low 5’s dropped, but they look better this way so I’m not mad. Those 4’s though…you cannot have those 4’s.
