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.

“The Way I Am” Eminem Air Jordan Retro 2

Eminem is back…in a different way. At Nort/Recon last night, Eminem held a release party for his book labeled “Eminem: The Way I Am”. Our good friends at Drew Reports were in attendance and captured some nice pics. However, the book is not the only news we’ve come across. Jordan Brand and Eminem are collaborating once again to design an exclusive style of Slim Shady’s favorite Jordan sneaker: the Air Jordan 2. If you recall, Nike and Eminem have teamed up in the past and created an exclusive Air Force One and a Nike Air Max 1.

Inspired by his book, this Air Jordan 2 contains a red, grey, and black upper; however, the craziest feature is the different hand-written Eminem lyrics on the ankle area and toe trim. 313 pairs are scheduled to be released. This number symbolizes the area code for Detroit, MI., Eminem’s hometown. The Marshall Mather’s Foundation, Eminem’s charity organization, will receive the proceeds from the sales of this sneaker. No release date has been set yet.
