More about the Air Jordan 2 Low “Varsity Royal” shoes

Following the teaser of “Quai 54,” “Sanddrift,” “UNC,” “Sky J Orange,” and more colorways of the AJ2 Low shoe in the recent weeks, the shoe label is now gearing up for the launch of the “Varsity Royal” colorway of the signature shoe.

The subsequent data on the early years of the AJ 2 shoe can be found on Jordan Brand's official website:

It continued:

“Made in Italy, with faux lizard skin, sleek lines and no swoosh, the shoe was an elegant design that added sophistication to MJ's soaring style.”
