The Air Jordan 2 is a significant sneaker in basketball history, released in 1986. Designed by Bruce Kilgore and Peter Moore, it marked a shift from the high-end appeal of the Air Jordan 1, featuring a premium leather upper, faux iguana skin, and a clean design without the Swoosh logo. The shoe was made in Italy and was initially priced at $100, reflecting its luxury status. The Air Jordan 2 was released in two colorways: white/red and white/black, and it was available at only 30 stores in 19 metropolitan areas for its initial release. Despite its unique design and high-quality materials, the Air Jordan 2 struggled with sales compared to its predecessor, but it remains a classic in the sneaker community.
