Best Air Jordan 2 Sneaker Colourways of All Time

From the moment the Nike Air Jordan 2 sneakers hit the market in 1986, they quickly became a fan-favourite. With their sleek Italian design and over three decades of wear available in many different colourways, it can be hard to pick a favourite. To help you choose which one is best for you, here is a list of some of the best Air Jordan 2 sneaker colourways of all time, ranked!

1. Air Jordan 2 “Multi-Color”

Air Jordan 2 "Multi-Color"

The “Multi-Color” stands out from other modified Jordan 2 releases due to its unpredictable and unique mismatched colour scheme that creates a unique pairing of the two shoes. Though seemingly random, every pattern on each shoe pays homage to older versions of the Air Jordan 2, varying in texture and materials. Patent leather on one toe box and pebbled leather on the ankle collars; are all reasons why this eye-catching design is an important part of Nike‘s history.

2. Air Jordan 2 “Black History Month”

Air Jordan 2 "Black History Month"

Honouring Black History Month, the AJ2 “Black History Month” is a special iteration of Michael Jordan’s iconic silhouette. Sporting a black leather upper accented with dynamic patterns inspired by traditional African Kente cloth, the design is further highlighted with red and blue accents around the heels juxtaposed against a multi-coloured outsole. An eye-catching, glittering gold Nike and ‘BHM’ logos are applied to the heel counter, completing this stunning commemorative silhouette.

3. Off-White x Jordan 2 Low “White Red”

Off-White x Jordan 2 Low "White Red"

The “White Red” Off-White x Jordan 2 Lows have made a major splash in 2021 due to the classic Off-White features present on the simplistic white leather base. Midsoles have been designed to imitate a decaying, vintage feel which adds that extra stylish touch. More subtly, you can find Michael Jordan’s signature printed along the lateral sides of this iconic sneaker – a humble reminder of where it all began.

In honour of the 15th anniversary of Carmelo Anthony’s drafting in 2003, Nike released the AJ2 Retro “Melo” colourway. The sneaker is styled similarly to the 2004 Player Edition, incorporating Denver colours and nods to Anthony, such as his shirt number and name inscribed on the insoles. Many consider this one of the best Retro re-releases ever, and it has been highly sought after since its original release.

5. Air Jordan 2 Retro Decon “Sail”

The AJ2 Retro Decon “Sail” is an unassuming and effortless sneaker that makes it suitable for everyday wear. With a design based off of a basketball performance shoe, the sneakers are made from soft suede with toebox perforations for additional breathability. The colour stays consistent throughout the shoes, mostly in Sail hues with tanned ‘Wings’ insignias indented into the tongues. Nike did an amazing job transforming this Jay 2 into a comfortable, luxurious sneaker perfect for any occasion with the Decon “Sail” colourway.

The timeless AJ2 Retro silhouette is elevated by fashion designer Don C in the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Retro ‘Beach’ Sneaker.

With this luxurious reimagining of the AJ2, A Ma Maniére pays homage to the original design while pushing it further into modern luxury.

Stylish, eye-catching and distinctly unique, the AJ2 Retro Iron Purple is geared towards wearers looking to stand out with their look.

The classic Air Jordan Wings logo appears on the tongue in vivid red, while the Nike name appears in red on the back of the high-top area, accompanied by a similarly coloured Jordan name on the sole. Lastly, laces and outsole feature an orange-speckled vibrant purple, elevating this original design into something truly one of a kind.
