"With the introduction of the Air Jordan II comes a new era in footwear. On the heels of Michael Jordan's masterful entry into the game, and with calculated precision, the AJ II laid the visionary foundation for a long and prosperous footwear dynasty."

"Made in Italy, with faux lizard skin, sleek lines and no swoosh, the shoe was an elegant design that added sophistication to MJ's soaring style."

"Italian craftsmanship. Global sway. The AJ2 set the stage for a footwear dynasty and its transcendence from court to catwalk. Now, with a flash of heritage colour first introduced on the AJ16, the 'Cherrywood' reintroduces the inviting hue to a new generation. Pair this with the design's premium materials and minimal branding."
