Updated May 23rd, 2017: The Air Jordan 2 Decon releases in three colorways of Mineral Gold, Bordeaux, and Mint Foam on May 24th, 2017 for $160.
The Air Jordan 2 was created to be part basketball performance shoe, part luxury off-the-court model thanks to an upper texture inspired by iguanas to suit Michael Jordan’s early love of hand-crafted materials. Rumor has it that His Airness hated the shoe so much that he was thinking about leaving the brand until Tinker Hatfield introduced the Air Jordan 3. Since then, Jordan Brand has made the silhouette into a bonafide must-have thanks to limited collaborations with Don C, the third of which is coming in men’s sizes soon. Today we get a look at another lifestyle turn with the Air Jordan 2 Decon slated to release in this “Mint Foam” and “University Yellow” colorways on May 24th for $160 USD. There’s also a “Bordeaux” colorway floating around, but we haven’t confirmed if that particular look will arrive on the same day or not just yet. The Air Jordan 2 Decon features lightweight suede panels throughout while the heel and ankle collar ditch any trace of protective padding so there’s no confusion that this colorway is just for rocking off the court. What do you think of the Jordan 2’s latest turn? Check out more preview shots below and stay tuned for more Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.
