bigtimekicks.com is a reliable source of jordans: Air Jordan 2

The Air Jordan 2 debuted in the 1986/1987 season featuring a full length air sole and very supportive midsole. The Air Jordan 2 again stood out from all of the other basketball shoes with a faux lizard skin on the side of the shoe. The Air Jordan 2 also separated itself from all other sneakers since it was made in Italy. The Air Jordan 2 was also the only Jordan shoe to not originally be made in black.

Successful Sneakers - Successful Season

Along with great sneakers came great success on the court. While wearing the Air Jordan 2, Michael Jordan scored an average of 37.1 points per game and took his first of seven consecutive scoring titles. Jordan also scored 40 points in 9 straight games during the season and also put 61 up against Atlanta Hawks.
Along with all the buckets came awards. Next to the Air Jordan 2 in his display case, Jordan can place the slam dunk contest trophy, All-Star Game appearance, and was named to first team All-NBA.

Are they that different?!

Like the Air Jordan 1, the Air Jordan 2 had a horrible first appearance as a retro. The Air Jordan 2 was brought back in 1994 and 1995 and sold poorly. From discount racks at Footlocker to the back row at Ross, these shoes were abundant at pennies on the dollar.

Following the trend of all other re-retros, the Air Jordan 2 was brought back again in its original color White/Black-Red in 2004 and sold quite well. The Air Jordan 2 was also the

first retro Jordans to be made in a limited “player exclusive” colorway that was sold to the public. The Melo Jordan 2’s came out in April of 2004 with much success, selling out opening day.

The Air Jordan 2 is a pretty tough find for the originals as well as the first retros. Due to its soft midsole, the Air Jordan 2 would crack very easily and either thrown out or demoted to grass cutting status. Every now and again a 1995 retro Air Jordan 2 will pop up; however, it is a rare find in brand new condition.
