Why The Air Jordan 2 Failed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The Air Jordan 2 doesn't get the attention it deserves. When I say that it failed, I mean it was a "commercial" failure. The history of the Air Jordan 2 spans over 20 years and it still viewed by many as the black sheep of the Jordan line. In this video, we give you a history lesson on the Jordan 2 and why we think its such an under appreciated sneaker.

Yo!! 4 Seconds into the video the I said "Hood Kids". My apologies if that offends you. It was a poor choice of words on my end. I meant no disrespect by it. To be fair, I actually grew up in the hood so it felt natural to say it that way. Also before you call me a "stupid white boy" I'm actually 100% Mexican lol I remember having to learn English as a little kid living in the hood. If you want to unsub I totally get it. Please know that I'm sorry and I take the L seriously.
I love the video the facts are on point !! the Bin 23 is a very comfortable shoe cant wait to see more
@@aaronlee8387 Appreciate it Aaron!
Don't apologize to the PC crowd
lapse of judgment you should you should do the video over
@@Hazztech no it was racist because he's not black f****** idiot
The more I look at a jordan 2 makes me want a pair even more
bruh bruh haha I felt the same way making this video
Same
Believe me, like a lot of bulky retro kicks, they look way better on feet. Try the melo 2s they are easy to wear.
Id want em cuz not alot of people got em..Thats why i got blacktoe 14s..
I bought a pair last year, they are way doper on feet
I think the 2s were the most innovative and therefore deserving of the most respect for blowing everything up. The 1s aren’t too much different than the Air Forces or Dunks for the time but the 2’s were totally original and different from the prevailing bb sneakers silhouettes. On top of that, no swoosh, which seems crazy. From there you can see the evolution into the 3’s then 4’s, my two personal favorites. I really never got why the 1s were a big deal. Could have just as easily been AF1s, Dunks of whatever 3 eyelid shoe in Bulls colorway. The 2s set it off.
1s are way superior to Forced or Dunks. You don't get a sneaker legacy like that for no reason
1s are what started this sneaker culture we have now, and I don’t see how you can say they’re more innovative almost all of the silhouettes after them. None of the innovations from the 2s really stuck either except the removal of the swoosh which really wasn’t that crazy
@@lilmonke2190 Is that so? How about the use of a foam midsole, the use of fake animal print or the plastic eyelets also present in the 3. Check your facts
This comment right here nailed it. The Jordan 2's are the reason you're even making videos about shoes...they started the entire premium shoe lines. The Jordan 1 was worn by everyone at the time , meaning every college team had their colorway's to match their team colors. They slapped red and white on them called them Jordan's..they weren't special. But the 2's started the entire history of special premium shoes. The 2's indeed did set it all off.
They just ugly as fuck
Props to my man Bill Murray rocking them in Space Jam.
Damn I didn't know that! I would have snuck the clip in there. Thanks Manny!
if they put a swoosh on the 2 it might look better
Don't you mean Dan Aykroyd? /s
Swear to god!

@@NachoAverageFinds I like the air Jordan 2 but I really hate how Jordan brand retro the 2s and put everything right but on the bottom put Jordan why not put Nike on the bottom like the 80s version I wish Jordan brand can make there shoes like how they used to be like
@@yaboi_mac4843 True, but that's not really the only reason people aren't buying them
fernando reyes true but Nike need to stop retroing the Jordan line and stop making them look different even the Air Force 1 make it have everything the shoes had in the 80s the original Air Force 1 had durible treads like the originals
They didn't fail, I love em. Want the OG ones.
Mopar man Co-sign! I love them as well. They’re my favs.
@@russellhowardjr.9894 💯
Its so hard to get Jordan 2s. I wish they would retro them more often.
Yeah man they don't get any love
Luke Grady StockX
True! Only time I’ve seen 2’s were on one of our school’s coaches and a place surrounded by outlets.
Luke Grady same here especially the high top ones. I got the low top Chicago’s back in 2016 and the Melo colorway but that’s it
And in the original color
I am 49 years old. I have been wearing Js my whole life...starting with the Chicago 1 in '85. The one pair that eluded me from the 1 to the 11 growing up was the 2. 35 years later I copped the Chicago 2 'Reimagined'. I cannot stress what a gorgeous shoe this is in hand.
The Jordan II would sell like hotcakes if they did premium material fashion house collabs with them. People would buy just for the hype. Imagine a Gucci or Versace rendition of these.
LoneWolf I know right. That’s what they’re meant for!
Don C pulled them off really well doing them like this.
You know what you’re talking about.
Funny to see comments like this after the Off White pair
Yeah ppl are morons I'd buy them in a solid decent colorway
The 2’s, 8’s and 10’s I think are the most under appreciated J’s in the 1-14 lineup. That’s good with me though, then I can cop ‘em for a good price since they won’t be all hyped up.
Have at it lol.
Love the 2s and 10s.
For me tho, 8s SUCK
2’a are the most underrated Jordan ever, and I didn’t like them at all till I got a pair in 04, I was in 7th grade and man they became one of my favorite shoes ever, listened to Curren$y say they one of his favorite Jordan’s. Funny thing I bought a pair randomly and went to a Curren$y concert that day and he ended up signing them that day.
That’s dope 🤙
Don't forget when Curren$y freestyled to Camp Lo's song called "Luchini aka This It It". Curren$y started it off by saying "Spitta nigga, what it do, what it does/Jordan #2's wit my socks pulled up". That line hit so hard because I felt the same way when I rock my 2004 Jordan 2 "Melo". #JETLIFE
Great Story. Awesome to see culture grow. And unify folks. Especially for those of us Blessed to be living in the now with such great access to tons of kicks. For cheap or the sky is definitely the limit now days but definitely amazing especially for those of us who grew up and had to wear some bammer kicks in elementary or whatever. ✌️✌️
Brow too. How old are u? I got a black suede pair in 7th grade. Most comfortable Jordan ever. And my favorite
@@JM-qt5mg I know the exact pair you’re talking about
It's crazy because I love this Air jordan shoe. It's very comfortable too. I wish nike would do a proper retro of this shoe in the og colorways. It's way overdue
It gets no love right?
@@NachoAverageFinds none whatsoever and I hate it
They made on in 2016 and they warmed the outlet shelves for almost three years
ElasticNine26 😂
I couldn’t agree more. We need this in og 1987 form!!
For me personally, it was the 2 that made me fall in love with Air Jordans. The Chicago colorway is a must have🔥🔥🔥
Same for me as well!
now that ive seen this comment im gonna cop since they r coming out this month

“Hood kids” then shows picture of black kids
Whats the problem with that
@@roynobleza4 if they showed tacos or somewhere other soanishy shit and showed your family as the pun intended??
Remember sneakers was a inner-city black thing...."they" always want to tag along
Adrian Redding I caught that. Could’ve just said “kids”.
Bro by the looks of it this foo trippin.. those other kids look Latino and the boy in the middle seems to only be the black kid visible in the photo .. the hood deprives of all ethnicities and if you really wanna politic.. religions too
I personally like them, I like how they have that classic, old skool look and vibe to them
The 2’s were a good shoe just hard to keep the side of the sole clean
I like 2’s, idk why it failed
"commercial' Failure
NachoAverageFinds YOO MY FIRST HEART!!
thanks 😁
@@VeggieBrgr haha You're welcome!
Price. I was a middle school/ high school kid then. Had several pairs of the 1's. $100 for a shoe was unthinkable. They looked good. We liked them. Couldn't afford them and our parents were like hello naw...
Lucid Vegetarian they’re bulky ass shit
I didn’t George Zimmerman was doing sneaker reviews now 🤣
I had the Jordan 2 knockoff: the Troop Slick Series!
hahhaa Oh you a real OG !!
Haha I had some knockoffs too I got the high top white and varsity red .they unsoled within a week haha . I was like 13 years old I went to the flea market. Some guy had hela fake ass Jordan’s lined up haha y’all remember the 4s with the spongebob on them ?
The Jordan 2 is one the comfiest shoes I’ve ever played ball in considering how old they are it’s amazing they play so well and I love how simple and elegant they are!
The Jordan 2 is one of my faves. The design was ahead of its time. That's what makes the 2 unique. I hope Nike release them again. Also my man you left out why they never released a black colorway; and how it was possible later on Peace✌🏿
"Wearing gold chains while playing on the court" That was during the slam dunk contest
Thank you!!!!!
I love the 2s.... I just hate that they never give us the good leather
Yeah, the newer retros are poor quality leather, but my 2004 j2 Chicago has awesome leather.
The most unique Jordan’s to date!!
My Favs were the Jordan 2 x Converse pack. The light blue and white just looks amazing, and with the hints of red and black. Also the Jordan 1.5 would be a good shoe to drop on April Fools or something.
haha April Fools Jordan 1.5 would be funny AF
I think they are amazing, it is a higher quality version of the 1s and a more comfortable shoe overall! I really wish people wouldn’t backlash the twos so much but i understand, it’s like “oh this is what’s hip and cool” and Jordan 2 just wasn’t able to carry that at the time because it was “different”
I just got my first pair of 2s and I am so excited to rock them when I get them!!!
Air Jordan 2 are not hyped up because he rarely wore them on the court. He was injured. Every Jordan is paired up with a moment.
1s = banned from the NBA
3s = free throw line
4s = shot over ehlo.
6s = 1st Championship
7s = Olympics
8s = Three Peat
9s = Baseball/Comeback
11s = Fourth Championship
12s = Flu Game
14s = Last Shot
Most, if not all, had a cultural impact. If he didn't do anything amazing in them, nobody cares. I prooooomise you if he never wore 14s, everybody would say the same cliche line, "after 13s jordans fell off"
Stan Nkereuwem facts!!!
Very true, accurate comment bro.
@DJDJ 9901
I agree with pretty much your entire comment/list, even to the point of saying people don’t remember him doing anything special in the 2s (mostly bc he was injured and barely played in them).
But he did do one of the most iconic dunks in them in his first slam dunk contest win: Kiss the Rim (the one that shows him flying sideways, parallel to the ground, in slow motion from multiple angles in highlights of the ‘87 dunk contest).
I love the 2’s. Always did. I remember seeing them when I was a kid. Then seeing them on Spike Lee’s movie Skool Dayz. Simple dope design.
I never understood why the 2s are so unpopular compared to the others. It still remains the only Jordans that I've ever wanted. The black sole stripe and black laces are so distinctive, nobody wore black laces on white during that time except Jordan. When you see a clip from an old game, you know what year it is when he wears the 2s, the next six seasons all look the same from afar. I never could afford them when thet came out but I had a pair of British Knights that were white with a black stripe on the sole with black laces. It was the closest i could get. Still Jordan's coolest look.
The only "failure" of the 3 is to be an extremely warm shoe, I cannot wear it for more than two hours. For what I remember it's like that because it's heavily padded at Jordan's request after the injury in the 1.
Honestly... kind of heavy too. Surprised to hear in this video that MJ complained about the weight of the 2s.... and that Tinker responded with the 3s, because for me the 3s (although super cushy & comfortable) are definitely HEAVY... and warm too, as you say.
Great point heavy and warm the 3’s
I love my Jordan 2's, people just wanna buy what everyone else thinks is hot
Mel ManChild Jones I can respect that
I love ‘em.
Tru
Naw bruh them shits ugly I also don't like the Jordan 5 which a lot of people like.
Terrañxe yeah I can’t trust your sneaker taste...
I'm a fashion designer and I'm so happy to see this shoe's purpose to finally be coming into fruition
The 2 is a slept on Jordan and whenever I see it, I feel as though Jordan Brand allowed the person to touch it because it’s not one of the more popular sneakers.
For example, when Vashtie did the lilac pair in 2010, I thought that they were cool, but it would have been 100 times better if they had let her produce a Jordan 3, which is one of her favorite sneakers.
The Eminem 2s are ok, but I’d never buy a pair.
The Don C 2s are dope because of the Chanel-inspired pattern and the blue pair is dope!
Another great video and thank you for inviting me to be a part of Sneaker Enthusiasts! 👊🏾🙏🏾
Dee Wells Thanks Dee!! All great points. I’d say the Don Cs’ are my favorite.
I love the Jordan 2, actually is my favorite Jordan with the Chicago 1 being neck and neck. I have 2 pairs of the Chicago colorway and the wing it pair.
Honestly if you own a pair of air Jordan 2. you know how really really comfortable especially the 2001-02 pair and even the 2010 pair. They are so underrated. I’ll take a pair of the OG color way all day just so I can say yeah these are the ones he wore when he won his 1st dunk contest and 1st scoring title. The way the black laces hit on the white tongue. It’s amazing. Just so underrated. I hope the release them again. It’s been too long Jordan Brand!
Tuan Ho I hope to be able to try some on! I’m sure they are super comfortable
He won his first dunk contest wearing the Jordan 3s not 2s
TrueBlueDC4L might have to do your research brother. 2x dunk champ back-to-back
I bought this Jordan 2 today the og colorway qf 2010 for 140 Canadian dollars super dope
This guy gets it
Personally, I love the 2. I think it's the most comfy early Jordan to wear and compared to the rest of the first 6, in MY opinion, it's the best for actually hooping in. It's actually in my top 5 retro Js to play in, 13, 10, 2, 7 and 12. Plus I think the design is one of the most clean abs elegant of all the Air Jordans. For design, my top 5 are the 2, 10, 13, 1 and 3. The 11 is cool, but a bit flashy to make that list.
Kinda like it but with a swoosh I imagine it being perfect
Constantin Meyer It would look dope with a swoosh!
NachoAverageFinds I tried designing one into the 2 but it failed massively, needs to be the right size and colour
With a blazer swoosh!
Eye feel it's perfect without it
@@pushatsinfrared Then u suck ass at designing... I put a big ass swoosh on it and it looks good
Had a pair of red/white lows. That one is too clean. Underrated shoe for sure.
Yall trippin! I rocked the Chicago colorway heavy. Underrated silhouette.
Love the AJII. Definitely the underdog model. These were the most hated Jordan way before the AJXV LOL. Had the "Silver Anniversary" editions back in 2004 and they are comfy.
The Air Jordan 2 is my favorite Jordan sneaker! We need a OG retro STAT
I like the original color way only. It’s a cool looking sneaker. Never had a pair,got em today on the Nike app.

I agree, very comfortable indeed!
when he said hood manz i felt dat 😂
One of the more underrated Jordans.....simple but elegant
I have 2 different pairs of 2's they actually stand out from all the Jordans !
I feel like it's a luxurious shoe to wear. At least with the iguana skin, making it seem higher end like Gucci or Versace. However I would love to own a pair. Preferably all ⚫. 😅 its just my attire is mostly dark colors and I feel like that's how I get most out of my sneakers. Not a fan of light colors but if its clean I'll rock a pair.
Jiminy Cricket All black is the way to go man!
These are my favorite Air Jordans(The original ones made in Italy , not the retros) best ankle protection
Aside from the 1's, the 2's are by far my favorite Jordan's hands down. I own 13 pairs ( 8 retros/5 Decons ) and i coped 2 pair of Nike Air Python's just because they looked like the 2's. You getting high, them shits just as nice, if not one of the best Jordans models that ever released. The only ones i didn't like was the white/black/red ones. Definitely an underappreciated model.
yaseen abdulmalik I like the pythons more than the 2s
I have a pair of infrared 2s I did a lace swap on them I love them
I personally love 2’s the og’s of course but also the melo pe and can we get a retro of the blk and sliver from the early 2000s
I love the Air J 2 without the pinstripe. Clean without that detail. Love my Wing It 2s.
This shoe is very underrated...My favorite of them all....Please Retro....

I can see the luxury idea in the shoe. The Jordan 2 is not my favorite but it’s a very nice shoe. I would love to wear a pair, but give me a 1, 3, or 4 and it’s game over for the 2s. Great video 👍
haha The luxury idea really makes sense when you see what Don C did with the Jordan 2. Its a shame it doens't get the same attention as the other Js' Thanks for watching!
I was searching for a pair but after really seeing how it is dont thunk i want it again
That was my first pair of Jordan’s when they first came out they were my favorite
Keith Freeman That’s amazing Keith!
Ones, twos, and threes are my favorite Jordans.

@@jayDee92133 respect to you for liking them not gonna knock you , just my opinion..

@@J300-u3u Oh yeah everybody likes different things, bruh.
I love my 2s, one of the more comfortable jordan retros. durable, great traction and despite the smaller air unit the cushioning is really felt.
I was in high school when these came out, it’s an odd concept now but we used to wear J’s to ball in. The OG 2’s were h e a v y as hell so they weren’t anybody’s first choice. People were into the Converse weapons either the Bird black and white or the Magic’s colorway, you almost associated star players with the shoe company back then. Xavier McDaniel wore Spot Bilts, Avia was Drexler, Worthy was New Balance and so on. There was a lot of competition so the OG Jordan’s were easily passed over due to the $100 price tag.
Can't forget Pony.
Hakeem was with Avia too. And Ralph Samson puma's where also popular. Ewing Adidas came along in 87 too.
I love this channel i always learn something new
For me the top 3 Jordan’s have to be :
1.One’s
2. 11’s
3. 3’s or 6’s
Emanuel Ortega mines is 4’s 1’s then 3’s
Great review Brian! I agree with you that the air Jordan 2 is probably the least liked of all of the retroed Jordan’s. This is actually the only retro of the 1-14 models that I don’t own, I’m eagerly waiting on the red, black and white models to drop. Keep up the good work👌🏾
What a difference a couple years make. The RISE of the 2sss!!!!!! Has commenced. Take note.
The 2 was amazing. I remember that those were the most different, most coveted shoes we had ever seen in 1987. Everyone wanted those. But Nike blew it when they apparently lost the original mold. They have never looked quite the same. The toe box is too bulky and square. The original toe box had a low, sleek profile and the shoe was more narrow (or at least more form fitting). That’s how the made in Italy shoes looked and that change in subtlety changed how we now see that shoe. They also put that stupid piping on white black and red high colorway. Why??? They never retro’d the original colorway since 1994. The beauty of that shoe was the simple elegance of the all white upper, red heel support and black outsole. That piping screwed up the whole look by making it look cheap or gimmicky. Finally, the materials feel different. The original 2 had the leather that looked and felt like full-grain. The retros feel like chrome-tanned plastic coated crap. Man. If they ever get that shoe right, it will be as coveted as it used to be. Other than the recent black, white and red low retros that look similar to the originals, the other retros have been horrible. Just ugly. Nike, if you are listening or reading, fix it. Just do it.
You actually know what you’re talking about especially the toe how it transformed since production stopped in Italy.educated me proper.👊🏽
Just copped two pairs of the Chicago 2. I like that you lames don’t like them. I don’t care at all what anybody else thinks. Especially not this dude. Lookin like the skeleton in the closet of every girl that has ever let you hit. They look back at the time they were w you and instantly regret it.
I love the Jordan 2. It's a hard shoe to release multiple successful colorways for, but it's still a great, underappreciated shoe. I seriously can't wait for the Chicago colorway to re-release.
2's are super fire. Do some homework and you'll find that out
Hahaha
I'm hoping for a history video on the Ewing shoes from Adidas Metro Attitude to the Ewing 33 Hi which are both sneakers I wish to get.
Ewings will be done this year I promise
I bought the 2s in 2010 a few months before my son was born. They mean alot to me. I LOVE THE AIR JORDAN 2.
“The most popular Jordan’s “ (does not include Jordan 1’s)
Aharren Kugan did a whole video on the AJ1
There are 4 different pairs in the first 10 seconds? I know you mean the initial 4 but still.
It’s because your new kid those 4 shown originally are by far more popular and were worn more often. Jordan 1 is only really worn as a trend nowadays
I love the simple aesthetic of the 2s. No color shows it as well as the original chicago colorway
*Jordan 2 is my fav shoe period what, crazy about that is until now I never own a pair, it's always been hard shoe to get it doesn't drop like regular retros. So it makes it harder to grab because folks buy them just for the resale. The og colorways and the lows are fire. One thing you never have to worry about is going out to a game, concert, or bar/club and seeing someone with the same shoe you got on if you wearing the 2's.*
Actually u have the facts very wrong. He didn’t have that amazing season averaging 37 in the Jordan 2s he did it in the 3. During the season the 2s releases Jordan had been injured most the season which I believe is the reason the 2 is the most unpopular from the shoes Jordan wore because that really don’t have a legacy tied to them like the other 1-14 did
I stopped watching this video after you said "Hood kids"... delete this video
Otis Bevel Yeah not the best choice of words man I apologize. I was a hood kid growing up so it felt natural for me to say it that way. Didn’t mean to upset anybody. Thanks for watching anyway
Being a kid from the hood Jordan’s were like a hood luxury. Don’t be so sensitive brah the hood and sneaker culture a very intertwined 💯💯
@@tnemomhurb7679 relax
The Jordan 2's are my favorite. I have three pairs. There just clean & classy.
jordan 2's remind me of fila....everytime i see it
Same
I've never seen a pair of Jordan 2s in person...which tells me if you found a pair in great condition could probably resell for a lot.
Dude said hood kids!! Wow
The hybrid you talk about in the video of the aj 2 midsole with an aj 1 upper was done so that mike (who just came back from a broken foot) could have an extra cushion on his feet while the aj 2 was being produced. since the Jordan 1 was so flat, they did not want Mike risking another injury to his foot so they added the sole to the upper 1. Also, these did decent but not super well sale wise because in 1986 nobody even heard of a sneaker costing 100.00 dollars, so they kinda sat. I owned both high and low and thought at the time this sneaker was like no other. I think the Italian sneaker company Lotto copied the Jordan 2 design where the eyelets are. aj 2 first sneaker in history to cost 100.00.
The reason why the Air Jordan 2 is one of my favorites is the Jordan video Come Fly With Me came out on my birthday in 1989. I bought it and watched it hundreds of times. The best highlights in that video came from the season Jordan wore the 2s. Ironically a few years later in High School a friend had mint condition original 2s that I bought off of him. I wore them a few times and they weren't very comfortable. I still love the high top version with black laces.
2's are too underated, i got me the chicago lows a couple years ago and the alternate colour highs, they were on sale because they were on the shelfs so long, My high pair is falling apart because ive worn them so much but the lows are still fresh with some creasing, One of the most comfortable shoes i ever owned, i rock them with simple outfits, white t N blue jeans, a hoodie, etc
“Hood kids?”
It was disrespectful saying hood kids then showing a pic of black children. You need to make a video apologizing.
I love the 2s 😍😍

Venthos You do realize that it’s not just blacks in the hood right?
NachoAverageFinds it’s all good.
For me the 2 was the definitive jordan it was the first to look like a shoe worth 100 and still move favorite!!😜
Who else went to the comments to see who else noticed when he said “WORN BY HOOD KIDS”
The Jordan 2s will always be trash. Just caint stand with power of the 1s, 3s, 4s and 5s. Just not in the same league.
This is my all time favorite Jordan.
Coming back to this video, I bunk I really want a pair of lows now lmao
Didn’t fail.... just goes to show how many “Jordan heads” can’t appreciate a beautiful classic shoe
The Jordan 2 prototype cut lows look like bowling shoes
