The Air Jordan 2, manufactured in Italy, showcases a distinctive upper with faux lizard skin, along with a Nike Air midsole that stretches the entire length of the shoe. Notably, this sneaker revolutionized the basketball shoe industry by introducing a cushioned midsole from heel to toe, a feature previously uncommon in basketball footwear. Originally launched in 1987, the Air Jordan 2 experienced its first re-release in 1994. However, there were reports suggesting that the original molds were either lost or stolen, delaying the sneaker's return until 2004. Following this, the sneaker made a comeback in 2008 as part of the Jordan 21/2 Collezione 'Countdown' Pack, and again in 2010 and 2014.
