Air Jordan 2 Low “Year of the Dragon” shoes (2024): Where to get, price, and more details explored

Almost every year, Jordan Brand releases a new pair of sneakers with a Chinese New Year motif; the most recent of these is the fresh hue of the Air Jordan 2.

The newly emerged colorway of Air Jordan 2 Air Jordan 2 Low “Year of the Dragon” shoes will be offered in restricted quantities of 2024 pairs. This pair is expected to launch only in China because of its limited supply and high level of exclusivity. There will likely be very limited supplies if they do make it to other regions.

Note that the official release date is currently undercover. Reportedly, these low-top shoes will be sold via the online as well as offline sites of Nike and the SNKRS app. These pairs will be marked with a selling price label of $165.

Jordan Brand will continue to commemorate the Lunar New Year by releasing the ladies-only Air Jordan 2 Low "Year of the Dragon." The new creation is a one-of-a-kind combination of Chinese customs and footwear design.

The confluence of the Gregorian and lunisolar calendars is represented by this exclusive launch, which will be limited to just 2024 sets. The limited-edition run is an affirmation of Jordan Brand's global appeal and profound cultural importance.

One of the ways in which this Air Jordan 2 Low "Year of the Dragon" stands apart from its alternative hue is through its glorious design, which is a tribute to the Lunar New Year.

The outer layer of the shoe is made of ultra-luxurious sail leather, which serves as a backdrop for the elaborate gold dragon embellishments that are embroidered all over the top. The layout is given an extra dose of sophistication and significance by including these dragons, which are considered to be a symbol of strength and good luck in Chinese tradition.

Color contrasts that have been thoughtfully selected contribute to the overall appeal of the footwear. The heel and the forefoot have "Dark Smoke Grey" and "Dark Team Red" trimming, which contributes to the shoe's general dimension and visual intrigue.

A dramatic metallic treatment is used to bring out the wing design on the tongue, which is also highlighted by the "Dark Team Red" colorway. On the other hand, the insole design is embellished with a classic gilded gloss, which further embraces the theme of the Lunar New Year.

A crimson envelope and limited-edition hang tags are included with every pair, paying homage to the custom of exchanging gifts throughout the Lunar New Year. This limited edition is elevated by the inclusion of the red envelope, a traditional emblem representing good fortune and abundance.

On their website, Nike proudly showcases the history and development of the iconic Jordan 2 style. Nike describes it as:

“With the introduction of the Air Jordan II comes a new era in footwear. On the heels of Michael Jordan's masterful entry into the game, and with calculated precision, the AJ Il laid the visionary foundation for a long and prosperous footwear dynasty.”

It further continues:

“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.”
