AIR JORDAN 2 RETROAfter a great season, Jordan wins the 'Rookie Of The Year' award as a freshman. He couldn't have dreamed of a better start. Unfortunately, in the third game of his second season, he suffered a fractured left foot injury. This blocked his game for a while, but it didn't stop the production of the next model from the 'AIR JORDAN' line. So the Air Jordan II is created.The shoes were designed, surprisingly, in Italy, because they had imitation lizard skin and this was probably the main aspect that spoke for the question: Why Italy? As everyone knows, Italian leather is the best leather :) Air Jordan II were another support and a gimmick that promoted Michael Jordan himself even more than possible. By releasing them, it was another step to strengthen the promotion of AIR JORDAN models. This is the second model from this collection. Specification. Exact release date: (November 1986). Price: (December 1986) - $100; (2013) - NO INFORMATION. Fun fact: Jordan played in the All-Star Game in these shoes. Additionally, he became the league's top scorer, exceeding the 3,000-point threshold.
