People weren’t ready for the 2s in 86. When the Jordan 11 came around in 95, people were all-in for the concept of a luxury sneaker. I love 2s, and I am happy they’re being treated with the respect they deserve.
Chris, as I'm sure you already know, Jordan wore the 1.5 Chicago in his highest scoring playoff game, same game larry bird called him "god disguised as Michael Jordan" after scoring 63 in the Boston Garden. I wore my pair to a celtic game this season (native bostonian and fan). I've never understood why that pair gets no love but I love mine lol. Thanks for all you do man
@@WearTesters I remember reading a couple blogs years ago that said the 2 outsole pair is the one he wore but you're right, looking at the images it looks like the dunk sole PE. The more you know lol
The Jordan in my opinion changed the shoe game!! It looked nothing like other bball shoes in the it's day!! And for me at 52 years young a must have. I hope they stay sleep😊
What a way to end the year. To have Fire Red 3s and these months apart is heavenly, especially since both are made closer to the originals. If you think about what released this year, it’s been an amazing year for sneakers. ♥️
I had these my Junior year in high school. My cousins boyfriend worked for Nike and I got them early. Before I pulled the paper back when I opened the box, all I smelled was leather. Absolutely fell in love with them and wore them inside, outside and everywhere. To me, their so elegant and futuristic. Jordans best scoring season ever at 37.1 and 3041 points. Second to Wilt and this shoe brings back so many memories in the gym and the playground. Appreciate the video and great breakdown on the shoe.
I've always loved 2's, even after Jodi said that it looks like it was stung by a bee! This one is a definite cop for me. Thanks for the background and tech specs. You can always get great content from Weartesters!
Gorgeous pair of shoes! 2s always look great and have their charm. I don't know about the Chicago lows from 2016 but the University Blue lows from that same year also had that PU window in the outsole and the sizing. The letdown from that pair was the super boxy toe that was almost squared and looked weird and the full embosed reptile skin on the whole shoe, but that was also a pretty and comfy colorway.
Glad you touched upon the Italian Genuine Leather. MJ was out here playing in Gucci/LV sneaks before they went the Chad Muska route. We need that Retro Jordan 7 Cardinal OG review!
I'm little late on this vid but had to see your take on these. I found a pair of these in Rome, Italy for sale... copped for 140 euros in size 10 Thank you for great content!
Fire red silver tongue 5 and Fire red 4 in 2020, Carmine 6s last year. Fire red 3 and Chicago 1s last month. This Chicago 2 is the final infinity stone for me...The Cardinal 7 is extra.
Woohoo! This is the pair I've been waiting for! Cheers for the review Chris, awesome stuff 🙌 2's, 3's & 4's are my favourite sneakers of all time, can't wait for these!
As usual, another great overall video review. Though I am an OG collector and wearer, I didn't get into the "shoe game" until 1991 when the Chicago Bulls won their first NBA championship. But, the Air Jordan II 2's are one of my favorite models. IMO, the 2's just have a simple, smoothness to them. I have the 1994 retros both the mid and lows. Definitely a HOPE to cop this remastered retro.
The only Jordan I need to retire from the J’s. I totally slept on these when I was younger, now I appreciate the clean simplicity of them! They go w everything!
My first pair of J’s were a hella beat up pair of these. Wore them everyday from age 10-14, till the sole was just falling apart. Still of of the most comfy shoes I’ve ever worn
As a og I had every original pair of Jordan's back in the day except for the Jordan 2's. So looking forward to getting a pair of these. Another great video and review guys!👍
You and your team always do an excellent job reviewing the kicks - keep doing you. You keep it real even when the majority of folks don't like a sneakers and you do. Have a great holiday - All the best KP
I was always indifferent to the Air Jordan 2 until now. This retro is beyond perfect. Other renditions of the 2’s always seemed off to me. The toe shape didn’t look right and the materials were cheap, but when I saw photos of these over the summer, I feel in love immediately. I got lucky with the fire red 3’s and shock drop varsity red 11’s. I’m praying to the sneaker gods I’ll get a W with these.
I got an early pair and my first pair of 2s. I literally had the same reaction I wish I lived in that era. These are definitely top 3 for my pick ups this year
Been waiting for this video! I've had my pair for about a month, and I take them out of the box and just stare at them at least 3 times a week lol. I haven't worn them yet, and I don't think I will until next summer. They're sooooo fire!!! Dope video as always bro!
Man I remember when I first got into sneakers, other than the “Just Don” 2s, people hated Jordan 2s, I always thought they looked pretty classy though. I’m glad to see they’re getting a little respect
If i recall, even the og 2s from 87 did also have some vinyl on the tongue. I know the 94 releases had the synethtic that peels the paint out. But for sure they made it as close as possible, including the cheap vinyl.
This are so clean and even more underrated!! I love the Chicago 2s it’s definitely a most cop. As always all the details and facts are appreciated specially for the 2s so people show more love to them
This is the release I'm gunning for, they're so damn gorgeous!! I hope people keep the same energy for this release like they did for the other Jordan 2 drops starting with the Union collabs. I'm anticipating this a bit more than the Chicago 1s, even though I miraculously hit on those. Keep that same energy, Jordan 2 bashers and let the rest of us cop!!
@@21prgary while most hated or questioned why Union would do a J2 collab, I actually liked them. And wanted the Grey fog colorway. Still may pick those up. But I have the AMM 2s and WOW!! Am I blown away by the 2s. I love them as a new sneaker dude.
@@chantos14 I love the AMM2s and like every Chicago iteration of 2s. I’ll never be a 2 fan but I’m contemplating getting these. One of the main reason that it’s not an automatic cop is because I have the AMMs.
Hi everybody, I am an italian footwear designer and my boss is actually one of the people that took care of the making of the shoe (materials, tooling...) right here in Italy back in the late 80s! He has so many stories about that shoe but unluckly he doesn't have any OG pair anymore because the sole of the shoe ages very badly.
These are a must cop for me, these will hopefully be my second pair of Jordans I ever owned, the retro 3s to me were the shoe of the year, I wasn’t born in the 80s , but I love the og colorways and I wasn’t a fan of the 2s when I was younger.
Thanks! They are beautiful. I have never worn a pair of 2s sadly being an 80s baby. I am assuming they fit like the 1-4s. I do 1/2 size down in 5 and 6. I have a weird foot. I never liked these honestly but they did an amazing job and seeing these on feet makes me want to get. Merry Christmas Nightwing and Batgirl!! Cheers
For myself the AMM 4’s, L&F 1’s and these Chicago 2’s are the trifecta. I’m 2/3 so far hoping I pull the last for the hat trick. Happy Holidays, thanks for the dope videos.
Hey just wanted to know where you got your pair of AJ2s from. I think I want to just skip all of the craziness behind the releases. Where can I get them from?
next to the jordan 18...this is my fav shoe, had a pair before that got stolen. i now have the retro 2 reverse bred and since i work for nike, this is definitely a shoe i have to add to the collection. my wife hates all my shoes and she'll no doubt hate this 1 as well but that's life. 😜 keep bringing us the good stuff, i check with u guys before i get a shoe, regardless of working for the company...u guys give me insight before i grab em so thanks and much appreciation. 👍
Great shoe I feel the same way when I first bought them back in the day to perfection thank you humbly guys for always the truth on shoes in your opinion I watch you two lovely couple all the time you always bring the truth

If the Google images are accurate then it looks like he wore the modified AJ1 with a Nike Dunk sole in that game.
@@WearTestersso size 12 is the move for us in the 12.5 crew?
You should be good if there is no half sizes available. Majority of the offing is in the ankle collar panels.
@@WearTesters I remember reading a couple blogs years ago that said the 2 outsole pair is the one he wore but you're right, looking at the images it looks like the dunk sole PE. The more you know lol
i love my 1.5 Reverse Frags.
2s are so slept on. Minimal...classic...timeless. NEED THESE
The Jordan in my opinion changed the shoe game!! It looked nothing like other bball shoes in the it's day!! And for me at 52 years young a must have. I hope they stay sleep😊

The 1, 2, and 3s in white and red colorways in the same 4 month span
Same for me. I got the Green George hi tops, too. I stopped buying mids and waited till I could get what I actually wanted.
I had these my Junior year in high school. My cousins boyfriend worked for Nike and I got them early. Before I pulled the paper back when I opened the box, all I smelled was leather.

This one of the best review channels out there. The knowledge they put out about each shoe is un matched. Keep it we are all watching
These and the Cardinal 7s are a must!!!
Finally the AJ II getting some love.
Flashbacks goodness! The most underrated Jordan pair ever!

You buggin', the 2's one of the ugliest Jordan ever
2016 Chicago 2 lows were a let down imo felt odd on foot.

A Person that knows their history …. Deserved my sub🤞🏽
Definitely a must cop! Been waiting all year on the OG Chicago 2’s. I already have the Lows. So the high is a no brainer!
Fire red silver tongue 5 and Fire red 4 in 2020, Carmine 6s last year. Fire red 3 and Chicago 1s last month. This Chicago 2 is the final infinity stone for me...The Cardinal 7 is extra.

Something about any jordan 2 in this colorway just looks so slick
I have a floppy left foot! Theses help with my floppy and help me walk normal! My favourite Jordan’s followed by the Jordan 1 and then the 7!!
The best shoe reviews ever . You 2 kill these shoe videos!!!! Awesome work
The most underrated Jordan is back! I am definitely copping this one
The 2s look amazing! Skipping out on these bc of the classic green 2s in February. Hopefully they come out just as good as these did 🙏
You and your team always do an excellent job reviewing the kicks - keep doing you. You keep it real even when the majority of folks don't like a sneakers and you do. Have a great holiday - All the best KP

I come to this channel before I even consider buying a pair of sneakers. Keep up the good work
I just love the ones Mikey wore 💯 Im hoping the masses over look these like they did the fire 3s 💯
As a loyal bulls fan my feet want these.

Chris you made me pulled the trigger. first pair in 2023. happy new year
Must cop. Never was a fan of 2s growing up. But they grew on me as I grew up. It's a grown man style shoe IMO
Ogs 2s clearly fav ove the year! Ogs!
This are so clean and even more underrated!! I love the Chicago 2s it’s definitely a most cop. As always all the details and facts are appreciated specially for the 2s so people show more love to them
Best jordan ever ( to me) followed by black & red 4s & black cement 3s...the kids can have everything else
This is the release I'm gunning for, they're so damn gorgeous!! I hope people keep the same energy for this release like they did for the other Jordan 2 drops starting with the Union collabs.

Folks not basing the J2, just not wearing them because reps are never in stock. Just joking. 4 real tho.

Since it’s an OG they’re gonna sell out almost instantly. Here goes me getting another “was not selected” notification 🥴
I had the 2010 version. they were the most comfy Jordan shoes I ever had 🔥🔥🔥🔥
When they drop? Are they hiting stores?
Are 2's True to size? Definitely going to grab my first 2's soon. Either these Chicago's or the Black cement.
Hi everybody, I am an italian footwear designer and my boss is actually one of the people that took care of the making of the shoe (materials, tooling...) right here in Italy back in the late 80s! He has so many stories about that shoe but unluckly he doesn't have any OG pair anymore because the sole of the shoe ages very badly.
hey Chris, random question .. how do you store all you old sneakers? do you keep the boxes or just the shoes - thanks for the great videos - John
Just got mine 12/23 for $185. Clean
These are a must cop for me, these will hopefully be my second pair of Jordans I ever owned, the retro 3s to me were the shoe of the year, I wasn’t born in the 80s , but I love the og colorways and I wasn’t a fan of the 2s when I was younger.
Got mine today. I love them. Wore them immediately…still haven’t worn my pair of Lost and Founds.
Just ordered mine today. Super excited. Never had these actually only paid about a $50 buck difference since the retro release date.
Got me a W on SNKRS this morning, nice bday gift to me today 🥳
Thanks! They are beautiful. I have never worn a pair of 2s sadly being an 80s baby. I am assuming they fit like the 1-4s. I do 1/2 size down in 5 and 6. I have a weird foot. I never liked these honestly but they did an amazing job and seeing these on feet makes me want to get. Merry Christmas Nightwing and Batgirl!! Cheers
still my favorite silhouette, these are amazing
I can’t wait to get these! These easy are my favorite release of the year. Great video.🤟🏾
I want them so bad, Looking georgus with black laces! Thank you Chris and your wife for always bringing us good content :)!
For myself the AMM 4’s, L&F 1’s and these Chicago 2’s are the trifecta. I’m 2/3 so far hoping I pull the last for the hat trick. Happy Holidays, thanks for the dope videos.
Just got my hands on these & they feel way more classic than any other years of the 2’s that dropped this release is truly a beautiful classic 💯
I love this! 1st ever Jordans I owned gifted by my Dad. ❤️ Want one, need one!
Watching this just prior to the drop - thanks for the detailed review which helped me decide yay or nay
Be following you for a minute now and love what you guys are doing. I appreciate your breakdown on the sneakers. Wishing you all much success.
They just restocked my size 9.5 super hyped can’t wait until I get them in hand
Love your reviews man!
Got the 2014 OG AJ2 Chicago Home pair and they came factory laced. I laced my AJ2 Chicago’s like those and it helped with the puffiness immediately.
Hoping to see that Cardinal 7 review soon. My personal fav shoe/colorway of all time
These r a must cop, because I love underdogs kicks...that have come from being the most hated and now one of the most appreciated!
Dope review as always so I'll be going after these. One of the comfiest silhouettes. If only they came with extra white laces.
I had them in high school playing for the varsity team the softness was unreal
Yes this was the first Jordan's I purchased in my life. So I'm hyped for these!!
Great timing on this! Need to re-up. My previous ones dry-rottened and I had to toss them smh!
Those are kool 😮
Maaaaann, I have been waiting for this review!!! This is what MJ was wearing when I first started to watch him. A MUST cop!
Working at Nike I love shoes like this where the difference between walking away and making the purchase is seeing how good they look on foot.
I love the way they look it bring back chills and would be a nice addition
Finally got my pair . I had the ones from 94 but these right here !!! It felt so good to get them
For me I these are the dopest collab of the 2 I have ever seen
Ms. Wing has all the right to be sarcastic! :D she has a fantastic sense of humor and the most lovely laughing on the whole UA-cam!🥰😍
8 months later and wearing them on the weekend, i still love these
Hey just wanted to know where you got your pair of AJ2s from. I think I want to just skip all of the craziness behind the releases. Where can I get them from?
Wow, the silhouette is miles better than the 2014 release. Those are dope🔥
These are special man! I am looking forward to these more than the L&F’s !! Much better looking shoe to me in which the 2s are so highly underrated!!
next to the jordan 18...this is my fav shoe, had a pair before that got stolen. i now have the retro 2 reverse bred and since i work for nike, this is definitely a shoe i have to add to the collection. my wife hates all my shoes and she'll no doubt hate this 1 as well but that's life. 😜
keep bringing us the good stuff, i check with u guys before i get a shoe, regardless of working for the company...u guys give me insight before i grab em so thanks and much appreciation. 👍
Night wing, I got the AJ 2’s on the Sneakers App today! I appreciate all of your content and the old school vibe!
Hope you like them!
Really enjoy this channel, no hype, always good honest reviews.
Glad you enjoy it!
Finally copped these today. I love them!!!!!
Great review! Always like getting info on upcoming drops from Weartesters.
I got mine today. It did not disappoint.🔥
Nice video 🔥 Are you saying the vinyl upper/tongue will squeak/fart? If so… ehhhhhh damn
I was so ready for this video!!!!
Do they fit the same like the ones you have in this video
Yes!! I've been waiting on this since you teased it a few videos ago lol!
Had to cop these ! Just copped them !!
These are a must. Been waiting years for these bad boys!
Great review! Only got love for the OG color ways . I just snagged a sz 9 for $101. Crazy times!
Was looking forward to this review! Gotta get these over the 11s.
Enjoy the videos Chris. I just need my size 13, and I’m good. Hope everyone that wants a pair can get them.
The 80s was a magical time wished I lived through it 😢
It was a beautiful era!
Great shoe I feel the same way when I first bought them back in the day to perfection thank you humbly guys for always the truth on shoes in your opinion I watch you two lovely couple all the time you always bring the truth
I got a pair of Madison chateau rogue 2s and they’re probably my favorite iteration
I bought a pair and it feels so good wearing j2😊🇵🇭
