SoJones Kickstory: The Air Jordan 2

Kilgore took the theme so far that he made sure that the AJ2 was made in Italy. The second Air Jordan featured a sleek faux lizard-skin upper and a minimalist silhouette with a full-length Air sole, as well as, a beefed-up midsole. This was designed to cushion and support MJ’s injured foot, which caused him to miss 64 games after breaking it. But, that didn’t stop his Air Airness from averaging a sick 37.1 ppg.
