The Off-White x Air Jordan 2 Low OG ‘Chicago’ is a collaboration between Virgil Abloh’s high fashion and streetwear brand and Jordan Brand on a vintage-inspired colorway of Michael Jordan’s second signature shoe. Off-White’s Air Jordan 2 Low honors the classic retro basketball shoe’s 35-year anniversary by reimagining the model’s original ‘Chicago’ colorway in the brand’s popular ‘new-vintage’ aesthetic. Modifications to the design of the Air Jordan 2 Low by Off-White include a pre-yellowed, pre-‘cracked’ midsole that replicates the look of crumbled soles associated with original 1987 pairs of the Jordan 2. The upper is constructed from white tumbled leather. Industrial-style Off-White branding is stamped onto the medial side of the shoe. Michael Jordan’s signature appears on the collar of the lateral side. Red ‘Wings’ branding resides on the white leather tongue and Off-White’s signature ‘SHOELACES’ detailing can be found on the black laces. The exposed foam padding found on the collar is consistent with the styling of Off-White’s Air Jordan collaborations.
