Air Jordan 2 Retro Detailed Photos

Air Jordan 2 Retro Detailed PhotosWe got a look at 2010’s Air Jordan 2 Retro release awhile back, and the reception was immediately positive. This AJ2, as we know, will be dropping in an all white colorway with a bit of silver throughout.

3M reflective material is also used throughout, including areas on the tongue and heel. This is by no means the first time we’ve seen 3M on a Jordan retro. Surely you recall the AJ5 “Toro Bravo” Pack, which featured an entirely reflective pair, as well as a tongue on the other pair. For this Retro 2, white leather is used for the remainder of the upper, with perforated holes making a stripe along the forefoot.

These are expected in 2010, along with a number of other Jordan Retros. Are you planning to grab a pair?

Air Jordan 2 Retro White/Metallic Silver-Neutral Grey

Air Jordan 2

Rarely do we ever see the Air Jordan 2 whether it is releasing or just surfacing on the web. Specifically, it released last year in its respective Countdown Pack and we saw PEs from players such as Ray Allen, Josh Howard and Gerald Wallace in our Kicks On Court. However, we have now received word that an Air Jordan 2 Retro is set to release in 2010.

Obviously, judging by the colorway, MJ himself never wore this particular sneaker. It contains a predominately white leather base with multiple neutral grey and metallic silver accents throughout the upper. The latter accents also possess 3M material giving the shoe a unique, reflective look. Supposedly, this shoe will be part of a collection dubbed the History of Flight for next year. Until we gather more information about this sneaker, click here to view additional photos.

Air Jordan 2 + Air Jordan 3 Slam Dunk Pack

Air Jordan 2  Air Jordan 3 Slam Dunk PackRumors about upcoming retro Air Jordans is nothing new, but neither is the rumor of a “Slam Dunk Pack”.  Dating back to 2008 there were rumors that there would not be a Jordan 8/15 CDP since the two were both retroed only months before in the final months of 2007.  The idea was simple, but sounded so great to collectors.  A DMP consisting of the two shoes that Michael Jordan wore while winning his two Slam Dunk Contests - Air Jordan 2 and Air Jordan 3.

In Seattle for the 1987 Dunk Contest Michael Jordan wore the White/Black-Red Air Jordan II.  The following year, Michael Jordan wore the White/Black-Cement Air Jordan IIIs when he faced off against Dominique Wilkins in the finals.  On the final dunk Dominique scored a 45 leaving a little bit of room for MJ to take the title.  Sure enough, in amazing form, Michael Jordan did it with a 50 beating Wilkins and taking back to back Slam Dunk titles.

Back to the sneakers, this latest rumor started on a Korean sneaker blog.  We have yet to confirm from any of our credible Jordan sources whether or not this is true, but we do know that Jordan Brand has many great things planned for the 25th anniversary in 2010.  Hypothetically, if there was a Slam Dunk Pack to come out with a $310 would you purchase or pass?

Eminem x Air Jordan 2 “The Way I Am”

Eminem x Air Jordan 2 The Way I AmWhile we patiently wait on Eminem’s highly anticipated 2009 album, we have now spotted a collaboration between Slim Shady and Jordan Brand. Two months ago we showed you this Eminem Air Jordan 2 “The Way I Am” and there were mixed feelings about this sneaker. For those of you that liked it, we now have more photos and factual information about the release date.

The Air Jordan 2 “The Way I Am” features Black/Grey-Red colorway leather upper. It is smothered in scripted Eminem lyrics on the side panels, toe area, and insoles. Two other Eminem inspirations are seen on the sneaker in the form of the letter ‘E’ on the tongue and the number ‘313′ on the heel. This number represents Detroit, MI (Eminem’s hometown).

Supposedly, this Air Jordan Retro 2 is expected to release at Flight Club on December 18th, 2008 for $110. As we stated earlier, only 313 pair will be releasing (also representing Detroit’s area code). The Marshall Mather’s Foundation, Eminem’s charity organization, will receive the proceeds from the sales of this sneaker. More detailed pics after the jump. Via NT.

Air Jordan 2 Richard Hamilton PE

Air Jordan 2 Richard Hamilton PE We have just spotted an exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 2 PE specifically made for Richard Hamilton on eBay. Inspired by the Detroit Pistons colorway, this sneaker features a predominately white upper with varsity red and blue accents. On the ankle area, the words ‘Rip City‘ are imprinted in blue. The current bid for this eBay auction is $750; however, the auction ends about two days from now. Expect to spend a grip on this pair!

The Air Jordan 2 has been worn many times throughout the preseason by players such as Ray Allen and Mike Bibby (two times). Considering Richard Hamilton played with Jordan when he made his 2nd comeback for the Wizards, Hamilton should have the best PEs (besides Ray Allen)!
