The Air Jordan 2 gets a special colourway honouring the brand’s Wings Program and Jordan Brand VP Howard White. It’s been a solid return for the J2 since the brand brought it back in 2021. This Air Jordan 2 Retro “Wings” brings the wings graphics to life with subtle nods to Howard H White. If you’re a fan of special sneakers, this one’s for you!
There are a lot of people who made Michael Jordan’s Nike signing possible. One of them is Howard H White. If you watched the movie “AIR”, he was portrayed by comedian Chris Tucker. Jordan Brand formally honours the current brand vice-president in this tribute colourway.
The Air Jordan 2 is the least-known model among early Air Jordan models. Huge expectations followed the shoe after the success of the legendary Nike Air Jordan 1. Designed by Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore, the Air Jordan 2 showcased luxury details in the form of faux lizard skin overlays. The first Air Jordan 2 releases were also from Italy, cementing its premium quality.
No Nike Swooshes appear on the J2, the only MJ branding you can see is the Wings logo on the tongue. Nike labels on the heel appear in minimalist form.
Nike Air cushioning sits within the PU foam midsole.
The Air Jordan 2 Retro “Wings” honours the Jordan Wings Scholarship Program and Howard H White. It boasts a white leather construction with emerald green hues on the tongue heel panel. Wings graphics make up the sides. H labels appear on the sockliner and semi-translucent heel counter as a nod to Howard White.
