To give its beloved Air Jordan 2 silhouette a fresh look, Jordan Brand has enlisted the help of the artistic genius Nina Chanel Abney. The duo have worked flawlessly for the upcoming apparel and footwear assortment. Abney will introduce two reimagined pairs of Air Jordan 2, where one style will be high-top and the other will be low-cut.

The soon-to-be-released Nina Chanel Abney x Jordan collection will be launched on the market on July 8, 2022, at 7.30 am GMT. The pricing of this complete range will vary from as low as $14 to $225. These brilliantly executed pieces will be delivered via the e-commerce website of the Nike’s SNKRS app as well as by other online sellers.

This is what Nike says about its partner Nina Chanel Abney,

“Nina Chanel Abney's undefinable style steers the Air Jordan 2 into a bold new lane. Maintaining the sleek look of the '86 icon, this version harnesses Abney's artistic sensibility to make a powerful statement.”

The New York-based artist has beautifully adorned the apparel range, which offers hoodies, funnel neck tops, jackets, pants, sports brassiere, socks, bucket hats, and tees.

In addition to this, she also revamped the Air Jordan 2 and introduced “White and Gym Red” high-top and “White and Malachite” low-cut sneaker designs as a part of this collection.

The product description on the Nike’s official web page reads,

“The rich mixture of textures on the upper is highlighted by artisan detailing, a new perf pattern and flashes of Gym Red. And check out the oversized hangtag, Abney's pop-surrealist take on a double-teamed MJ breaking free from defenders. Her illustration, full of angular figures and vibrant colors, jump to life from the ornate silver frame. The attention to detail doesn't stop there—the shoebox itself is covered in Abney's art, building anticipation for what's inside and serving another reminder that creativity can't be contained.”

The footwear seems to have a more simplified look with less piping and trimmings than we generally find on Air Jordan 2. The collars of these pairs are even raised a little higher than the customary design of the second silhouette. The faux snakeskin elements can be spotted on the lateral as well as on the medial sides of white leathery uppers. Further, the premium suedes are placed on the toecap and heel stripes.

The highly acclaimed Air Jordan Wing logo and heel counters are covered in red. Moving on, the Nike emblems are debossed in black on the heel counters. Eventually, the shoe design is accomplished with an aged Sail midsole, a gray and red outsole, and Nina's moniker on the insole units. The hangtag depicting Michael Jordan playing against the Lakers on the front match the rest.

The Nina Chanel Abney x Air Jordan 2 sneakers will be sold for $225.

According to the brand's website, the Air Jordan 2 "White and Malachite" shoe description is as follows,

“The rich mixture of textures on the upper is highlighted by artisan detailing, a new perf pattern and flashes of Malachite. And check out the oversized hangtag, Abney's pop-surrealist take on a double-teamed MJ breaking free from defenders. Her illustration, full of angular figures and vibrant colors, jump to life from the ornate silver frame. The attention to detail doesn't stop there—the shoebox itself is covered in Abney's art, building anticipation for what's inside and serving another reminder that creativity can't be contained.”

These pairs are designed similar to the aforementioned high-tops. They sport a base constructed of white leather and an ankle section fashioned with high-quality leather that looks like snakeskin.

It also encompasses sleek mid panels and toe boxes composed of superior gray nubuck. Identical hangtags with Abney's artwork on the front and her name stamped on green insoles complete the look.

This Nina Chanel Abney x Air Jordan 2 Low SE will be traded with a price tag of $200.
