The Release of the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Retro 'Beach'

Living up to the success of the Air Jordan 1 was no small task, so Nike enlisted two of its most accomplished designers, Bruce Kilgore and Peter Moore, to collaborate on the newest Air Jordan design.

Kilgore, who created the Air Force 1 in 1982, and Moore, who designed the Air Jordan 1, decided to develop a shoe that could perform on the court and still look great with a suit.

Nike was able to achieve the elegance of the Air Jordan 2 by producing them in Italy using premium Italian leather and faux iguana skin. They also eliminated the large Swoosh logo for a cleaner look. Although the Nike signature appears on the heel and the outsole, this was the first sneaker to feature Air Jordan as the primary branding with the iconic Wings logo on the tongue.

The new Air Jordan design also underwent performance upgrades, including a speed lacing system, foam midsoles, larger air units in the heel for more support and a large heel cup wrapping the rear of the shoe for stability.

History of Air Jordan 2

Originally released in 1986, the Air Jordan 2 is an often-overlooked silhouette in the Air Jordan lineage, but it’s a worthy shoe, nonetheless. While it wasn't as monumental as the Air Jordan 1 that preceded it or as culture-shifting as the Air Jordan 3 that followed, the Air Jordan 2 was undoubtedly ahead of its time.

The silhouette embodied luxury decades before there was a steady demand for designer-quality shoes from sportswear brands or full-on collaborations like the recently released Dior x Air Jordan 1.

Jordan 2 Retro x Just Don Beach 2016

With a neutral tan tone-on-tone colorway, the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Retro 'Beach' is a 2016 collaboration between designer Don C and the Jordan brand. There's a mix of premium leather on the upper with a quilted texture on the midfoot and collar that references a series of Chanel bags crafted in Italy. Nike branding in metallic gold appears on the heel collar, and Air Jordan wings logos embellish the tongues. Adhering to the OG Bruce Kilgore Air Jordan 2 silhouette, Air technology provides cushioning underfoot.
