Jordan finishes off the year with another epic drop. This time with the return of the Air Jordan 2 OG “Chicago” colorway. Originally released back in ‘87 by Air Jordan 1 creators Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore, the model was overlooked by many after the iconic introduction of the Air Jordan 1 onto the market. It definitely wasn’t easy to follow up after such an iconic model. Some factors that polarized the community were the removal of the recognizable Nike Swoosh and the higher price point than that of its predecessor. Little did they know at the time that the Air Jordan 2 would change the game of footwear from there on out.
Made in Italy with the highest quality materials, premium leather upper and faux lizard skin, the shoe’s design was clean and refined adding to Michael Jordan’s rising status as a true trendsetter. But it was his legendary 1986-87 NBA season with the Chicago Bulls that really sparked the hype around the shoe. That year Jordan broke record after record, including becoming NBA All-Star and winning the Slam Dunk Contest all while rocking the kicks.
The model will be the closest in specs to the original design from 1987 and come in a replica of the Air Jordan 2 ‘Wings’ box. Don’t miss out on a coveted classic to add to your collection. Cop your pair online or in-store at Via Silvio Pellico, 9, 50121 Firenze (FI).
