2022 was unofficially dubbed the Year of the Jordan 2, as Jordan Brand brought back the classic Air Jordan 2 Chicago in its true OG form. The Air Jordan 2 Chicago reps the same historic colorway worn by Michael Jordan during his 1986-1987 season with the Bulls. The sneaker features white reptile-embossed leather uppers, Varsity Red reptile spine design on the heel, and Varsity Red signature Wings logo on the tongue. A black midsole and 'NIKE' debossed branding on the heel tab ties up this signature silhouette. The 2022 edition of the Air Jordan 2 Retro 'Chicago' brings back the legacy silhouette in its original 1986 form. A radical design departure from its predecessor, the sneaker discards Nike Swoosh branding while introducing the Jordan 'Wings' logo atop the tongue. Black laces secure a white leather upper appointed with sleek lines, perforated detailing, and a faux lizard skin overlay inspired by luxury footwear. A crimson heel counter provides a contrasting pop of color, while a Nike wordmark decorates the rear collar. Traditional cupsole tooling is replaced by a black polyurethane midsole with encapsulated Air-sole cushioning.
