    Air Jordan 2 Review - Today we are reviewing the Air Jordan 2, the follow up to Air Jordan 1 which is one of the most popular sneakers in the world. The Jordan two doesn't have the same cult following and popularity of the jordan 1 and many people hate it and consider it the least popular Jordan in the Jordan line. So we bought a pair to cut in half to see what's inside and why people don't love this Air Jordan 2

    As an OG (old guy) who was 18 when the Jordan 1’s dropped… of course they were cool, but it was mostly because of the wild red, white and black color pattern. We had never seen anything like it. But as for blowing our minds - it was just another basketball shoe. But the 2’s? These were a whole new animal! 35 years later and they are still my favorite!

    I actually liked the original Jordan 2. I’ve never had any of the retros, so I can’t comment on those. When the Jordan 2 was released, it was unlike any other basketball shoe I’d ever seen. It was also the first Nike shoe that I can remember that didn’t have the swoosh, so that was a big deal at the time and made the shoe unique.

And I love the fact it was the only shoe that never had the swoosh on it!! I bought an early reissue for my collection and it still is my absolute favorite!!

    It wasn’t always that way. Sometime after the first release in 1987, Nike lost/destroyed the original lasts. It resulted in various iterations of the shoe which were the product of deconstructions. It was never the same as the toe box from the retros beginning in 2002 made the shoe appear boxy and ugly, quite frankly. Nike also deviated from the original colorways, which made the shoe look clownish at times. They added ribboning/trim which was not part of the original and generally departed from the simple, elegance of the original shoe. The heart and sole of that shoe was in the original mold. Nike claims to be bringing the original back this October. Let’s see.

    It would be great to hear you discuss "Italian-made" as a concept. Most people don't realise that you only legally need to have 10% of production actually located in Italy for it to be labelled as "Italian-made".

    • @Enrico-
      @Enrico- Рік тому +6

      You legally have to do the last stage of the production and it needs to be "sostanziale" (substantial). The definition of substantial is then defined industry by industry. In shoemaking you can have the clicking and closing done elsewhere (as well as the tanning) but you need to do the bottom-making in locally. Pretty much like Made in England shoes. In general Made in Italy is more similar to Made in Germany or Swiss Made rather than Made in the USA where the amount of domestic labour required is far higher. I think Wes covered it a little during the white sneakers series in 2020.

      Repent and follow Jesus! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
      Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
      Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
      “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
      Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
      Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
      The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
      Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
      The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666

    I would love to see the classic from the 70's cut apart: the Mephisto Match, in tan grain leather or black. Worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sean Connery, the Pope John Paul...they're supposed to be the most comfortable walking shoes in the world. Hand made in France, best thick, full grain European leather, no synthetics, SUPER durable, they're made to last and are not a throw away shoe. 100% natural rubber, they also have some kind of air cushioning system and soft-air insole...which circulates air and is supposed to accommodate your gait...thx!

My friend's grandpa told me about Mephisto shoes because they are anatomically correct and have great support. I looked into them and loved the story. I got two pairs and am super happy with them. The quality is just Awesome. They're super durable and the leather is like, thick. I dont actually have the Match myself, I'm trying to get it because its like, the iconic shoe (along with the Cruiser), the stuff above is just what i know about it, but i can't because they're sold out everywhere in Europe. And buying from the US is too expensive. They're like, the opposite of what a Nike or an Adidas is.

      false: jordan 1 has crap and fake leather for most models. The truth is Jordan Brand is inconsistent in their quality. Sneaker heads know how you cant trust Jordan Brand at all no matter the model on materials. Newer models however use almost exclusively synthetic materials because of performance tech breakthroughs and thus not scrutinized as much while the retros are usually a cash grab or not.

    Love the J2s. I remember when they dropped after the 1s. They from a design standpoint was next to the 3s if you really look at with a close eye. I think people didn't like them, because they didn't explode with color like the 1s. Also take into account jordan didn't play that year due to a broken foot. People didn't see him in them so it made it difficult to gauge the shoe, if he wasn't wearing them. Some from that era didn't like them, and others did. It was about 55/45 split on the liking of the shoe. But anyone who came up enough after this shoe will not like it ( bias opinions of course). If you grew up well after this shoes long since been a memory, even if they brought these back you're not going to like them, or understand cause you weren't there when they came out.

      Repent and follow Jesus! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
      Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
      Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
      “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
      Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
      Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
      The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
      Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
      The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
