The Jordan 2 Retro Wing It stands as a coveted special edition sneaker from Jordan Brand's iconic Retro collection, drawing direct inspiration from Michael Jordan's legendary "Wing It" poster from the late 1980s. This premium basketball shoe showcases a classic white and black colorway that captures the essence of vintage Air Jordan design. The predominantly white leather upper creates a clean foundation, while strategic black accents around the lace area, heel counter, and midsole provide striking contrast that defines the shoe's retro aesthetic.
Notable design features include carefully placed perforated detailing that runs in a single line around the upper, complemented by distinctive overlaying side panels that enhance the shoe's vintage appeal. The Air Jordan 2 Wing It proudly displays authentic Jordan Brand elements, including the coveted vintage Air Jordan Wings logo prominently featured on the tongue, while "Wing It" embroidery on the heel serves as a direct tribute to the iconic Michael Jordan poster that inspired this release.
Originally launched on March 5, 2016, with a retail price of $190, this Jordan 2 Retro remains highly sought after by sneaker collectors and basketball enthusiasts who appreciate its timeless white and black design and connection to Air Jordan heritage.
