Designed by Bruce Kilgore and released in 1986, the Air Jordan 2 was once made in Italy for a premium feel. There is a myth surrounding the first retro in 1994, apparently, the original mold was destroyed or stolen so Jordan and Nike had to dissect the original pair and recreate it from scratch. With Black History Month around the corner, Jordan Brand pays homage to the historic month with a blacked-out Air Jordan 2. The leather boasting sneaker is a premium basketball sneaker silhouette that features gold accents and Afro-American-inspired graphics.
