The
Air Jordan 2 (II) model was released in 1986. That is Jordan's second year in the NBA. Michael wins his first in a series of scoring titles, as well as the Slam-Dunk Championship. He becomes the first player since the 1960s to top 3,000 points in a single season. He plays nine straight games with 40 points or more. The Air Jordan II featured high quality Italian leather. The
Air Jordan II shoe was also the first Nike sneaker to not feature the Nike swoosh logo. They were featured briefly in the movie School Daze. The original 2's were produced in Italy. These were the only the
Air Jordan shoes line to not originally be released in a black color placement. Reintroduced in its original color scheme in 2004 ( black, white, and red ), a new black / silver colorway was released as well as a Carmelo Anthony colorway of white, Carolina Blue, and yellow. It has been rumored that
Jordan shoes would release a Varsity Red and White shoe. Though very rare, these do exist.
