In 2008, the Jordan brand launched a special edition sneaker, known as the Air Jordan 2 Retro 'Eminem', as a tribute to the renowned rapper's track "The Way I Am" and his book of the same name. This shoe draws inspiration from Eminem's hometown, Detroit, featuring a stylish light grey suede upper with perforations on the forefoot for enhanced breathability, as well as sleek Stealth accents on the textured side panels. Additionally, the sneaker showcases bold red and white lettering on the mudguard and ankle, which allude to iconic lyrics from Eminem's song.
