The Air Jordan 2 made its debut to the world a year after the introduction of the Air Jordan 1. The sneaker was a polarizing silhouette that was risky for Nike, especially since the first Air Jordan sneaker was such a success. The Air Jordan 2 was a pivotal moment in basketball, the fashion industry, and Michael Jordan’s career as a professional basketball player. Michael Jordan wore Air Jordan 2s during his 1985-1986 season, breaking countless records and becoming an NBA All-Star Player. The Air Jordan 2 also made an impression in pop culture, as it was seen on the feet of Bill Murray in the film Space Jam. 

Regarding the concept of the Air Jordan 2, Nike wanted to make a sneaker in the Air Jordan line that was more elevated in its overall aesthetic and appearance, both on and off the court. One stand-out attribute of the Air Jordan 2 is its lack of Swoosh, which is found on the first Air Jordan sneaker. The silhouette was stripped of the original Nike logo and replaced with Jordan Wings branding. The Air Jordan 2 was designed by sneaker designers Bruce Kilgore and Peter Moore. Some of the most iconic colorways of the Air Jordan 2 include ‘Chicago,’ ‘Grey Fog,’ ‘UNC,’ ‘Wing It,’ ‘University Blue,’ ‘Gym Red,’ ‘Detroit,’ and many more.

With that, Air Jordan introduces its latest iteration of the Air Jordan 2—’Cool Grey.’ Arriving in women’s sizing, the design takes on a nubuck upper with suede quarters. A Nike Air unit at the heel provides further comfort. The silhouette utilizes a padded collar for additional comfort, while other sneaker details come in light blue stitching, piping, heel counters, and laces. Different branding can be found as Wings motifs on the tongue, the ‘23’ marked tongue tags, and embroidered ‘NIKE’ branding on the heel. The printed insoles and rubber outsoles wrap up the remainder of the Air Jordan 2 ‘Cool Grey.’
