As we close the second day of Jordan Brand’s XX8 Days Of Flight, we take a glimpse at the seldom overlooked Air Jordan II. Originally debuting back in 1987, the Air Jordan II was Nike’s attempt to fuse a performance basketball sneaker with a unique fashion aesthetic. The formula worked to perfection. Its celebrated today by Jordan purists as one of the best silhouettes in the collection. Today its dressed in the coloring of the first Air Jordan XX8 colorway set to launch on NBA All-Star weekend.

Sporting premium black leather throughout the upper making for a bravado laced appeal, the XX8 Days Of Flight Air Jordan II iteration also boast neon green contrasting, playing to the celebration of updated materials and the influence Jordan’s have made on street culture. Considered one of the most well-constructed Jordan’s of the series, the II is a force in its own right. Check it out above and come back tomorrow for more from #XX8DaysOfFlight.
