The 15 Best Air Jordan 2s of All Time

Inspired by an Italian dress boot, the original version of the Air Jordan 2 was once considered the most luxurious basketball sneaker ever produced. Designed by Bruce Kilgore, the use of premium Italian leather and faux lizard on the AJ 2 set a precedent of high quality that has been associated with the Air Jordan line throughout history. Since its initial launch in 1986, the Air Jordan 2 has only been retroed a handful of times, but 2014 is looking to be promising for fans of MJ’s second silhouette. With those upcoming releases in mind, as well as the impending reveal of the Air Jordan XX9, we took some time to rank our favorite Air Jordan 2s to date. Browse through our list below, and be sure to let us know which color scheme lands atop your personal list of favorite AJ 2s in the comment section.
