Upon its initial release in November 1985, the Air Jordan 2 stood out from the crowd thanks to its premium materials and luxurious appeal. Fast forward to December 2022, and the sneakers are still acceptable to wear at any function.

The 'Chicago' colorway remains true to the original design. The white leather upper is contrasted by black laces with red accents. The original Wings logo appears on the tongue with Nike branding on the heel.

Air Jordan sneakers are always popular, but the hype hits new levels whenever the design team brings back classic models in Chicago Bulls colors. Stay tuned to FanNationKicks.com for news, analysis, and interviews.
