Don’t Sleep on the Air Jordan 2 Retro Low “Python”

2024-02-06T11:52:20-05:00

Last month, Jordan Brand launched the Air Jordan 2 “Python,” inspired by the divisive Nike Air Python from 1987. That sneaker added a luxe edge to the Air Jordan 2 with premium leather uppers and faux-snakeskin quarter panels. If you couldn’t cop that sneaker, don’t worry – another “Python” Air Jordan 2 Retro Low is on the way.

Slated to land in early February, the Air Jordan 2 Retro Low “Python” boasts a smooth white leather upper like its high-top companion. Faux-reptile paneling covers the lateral and medial sides in an earthy “Sanddrift” and “Metallic Silver” combination, providing textural contrast.

As is the case with most Air Jordan 2s, branding is minimal. The padded leather tongues display “Cement Grey” Wings logos, while Nike lettering lands on the outsoles.

Moving towards the sole, you’ll find foam midsole units done in a vintage-esque “Sail” tone. “Cement Grey” and “Neutral Grey” team up to shade the sneaker’s rubber outsoles, completing the design.

Will you be looking to cop? The Air Jordan 2 Retro Low “Python” is releasing in-store and online at DTLR.com on Wednesday, February 7th. The sneaker will be available in men’s sizing for a retail price of $150.

The new year is finally here – and a new Air Jordan 2 is following suit. This upcoming sneaker combines a luxe design with heritage elements, offering sneaker enthusiasts a blend of classic style and modern aesthetics.

Dubbed the Air Jordan 2 Retro "Python," this forthcoming colorway boasts a striking combination of white leather and black trim.

This unique touch adds an exotic and luxurious feel to the sneaker, paying homage to the Air Jordan 2’s origins.

For the purists who appreciate the classic Air Jordan branding, the Air Jordan 2 Retro "Python" does not disappoint. The tongues proudly display the iconic Wings logos, reminding us of the sneaker's rich heritage. Additionally, the embroidered Nike logos on the heels add a subtle yet impactful touch.

To complement the overall design, the foam midsoles and TPU eyestays feature a creamy "Sail" color, adding a touch of warmth to the cool white and grey tones. The design is completed with "Cement Grey" rubber outsoles.

There’s a New Air Jordan 2 Retro Low Coming to Town

2023-12-12T12:55:29-05:00

Earlier this year, Jordan Brand launched a new Air Jordan 2 colorway inspired by the model’s Italian roots. Now, this December, that “Origins” tale will be getting an action-packed sequel.

This upcoming take on the ‘80s basketball sneaker follows the path that the aforementioned “Origins” Air Jordan 2 laid last month. Unlike the “Origins” Air Jordan 2, this new pair features a premium black leather base, though it does still feature the same “Fir” and “Fire Red” accents, which nod to the sneaker’s heritage. The color combination also doubles as a Christmas-themed affair, whether intentional or not.

The sneaker is branded minimally, with only Wings-logo embellishments on the tongues and Nike lettering on the bottoms signifying its make. Speaking of the bottoms, this sneaker features blacked-out foam midsole units, which encase the hidden Air cushioning system. “Cement Grey” and “Fire Red” rubber outsoles bring things full circle.

Will you be looking to snag a pair? This Air Jordan 2 Retro Low will be available on Saturday, December 16th, both in-store and online at DTLR.com in men’s and grade-school sizes.
