Why The Jordan 1 Soaked Michael Jordans Foot In Blood: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l4F7q8Wie8XgZso.html

FACTS! Ultra underrated shoe in terms of playing comfort and traction. I'm a wide footer and weigh 240lbs, athletic build. These are super plush inside and wide footer friendly.

I’ve got a pair and am not a wide footer but feel that the fit of this model pinches my pinky toe. I am flat footed but skinny foot. Wish I had gone up a half size on this model. Now I know for any future pairs, go half size up for a comfortable fit.

The Jordan 2 is one of my all time favorite silhouettes. Easily more comfortable than any AJ model until the 7, and I’d even say it’s the most comfortable Jordan until the 10. I dig the look too. Thanks for making this video! Love all your work.

its worth noting that the original Jordan 2s only had the heel air unit. Theyve since put the 3/4ths air units on the retroes.

@@Chavanun555 thats cuz they make the retros with polyeurathane midsoles (3s to 9s) with closed cell polyeurethane nowadays. they did this since closed cell doesnt crumble as easily as open celled PU, which the OG's had, that was softer and more comfortable.

@Aeolous1

@@Chavanun555 almost forgot, 1s and 2s also have PU

Not to mention that they were the true beginning of the line. Tinker took a lot from the 2 to design the 3. The eyelets, the animal print leather, lack of branding on the side, etc.

I actually enjoyed playing in the 2. It was the retro because I was 8 when they came out and my mom was not buying them lol but as an adult I got a pair and really enjoyed them.

My favorite Jordan. I wish they had reintroduced the Chicago 2 retro with full length air. I was considering buying a pair to play in and your video seals the deal for me.

Jordan Delta 2 test please 🙏

2s have more bounce than 1s in my opinion. I have the BHMs which I got for 50% off, which made my 1-14 collection complete. Thanks Doc for keeping up the Jordan retro performance reviews.

Always look forward to your reviews.looking forward to your breakdowns on other Jordan, the J11 & J12s are my favorites to play in. I had a retro J2 low and it fit narrow on me but I saw a lot of how it could work on court. It was a lot less clunky than it looked and traction was good.

Great for running sprints. Very comfortable. Great video. Thanks

Jordan 2s are sick I am really looking forward to the neutral gray colorway releasing in may

the original ones were a lot heavier, as the midsole was thicker PU, and the air unit was encapsulated by that foam, top and bottom, instead of just being on top of the foam

Hell yeah! More retro Jordan shoe teardowns.

More coming

The J2s with the 3 plastic eyelets are more like Protros rather than a recreation of the OGs. Protros meaning that they took an old silhouette and added upgraded features such as EVA and 3/4 length air. OGs have 4 plastic eyelets for both highs and lows, came with PU midsoles, and only had the air unit in the heel.

had the retro concord purple 2s for a while. i did play in them couple times out of the box. it was comfortable and traction was pretty decent. it was just clunky compare to what i was playing in like the AJ28 and 29 at the time. wish i still had it tho, sold them to make room for other collecting hobbies. Out of all the Jordans i've played in my favorite is the 28 until the forefoot zoom exploded and the 30 which i still play in and the 12.

I love 2's and now that I am older 😅it's the best dad shoe ever

I have the Jordan 1.5s which have the 1 upper with the 2 sole. They're pretty comfortable, more than a pair of Flight Condors I had that I believe used the same sole as the Jordan 4. I don't play basketball, I basically just wore them for weightlifting, elliptical and casual use.

The original Jordan 2 was also made in Italy back in 1986/7, obviously the leather was better. And had thicker polyurethane insoles they put in only very few selected Retro Jordans, that Nike started to do only a few years ago. They stopped putting polyurethane insoles back in 2002/03 for a long time Jordans had the cheapest insoles ever.

Great video! From my experience, the performance of the 8s and 11s were good. I’m looking forward to seeing what you have to say about them. I am still surprised the 8s felt good to play in.

I always loved the Jordan 2's, im glad they brought back the OG shape

I have to admit that when I saw them the first time I didn't like the silhouette at all, but after some short time I started thinking and I came to the conclusion that they look really good, and still I don't understand why so many people hate it

The 2 is eons better than the 1. No comparison. In the OG "Chicago" colorway, they are great looking. I no longer have any wearable 2s due to crumbled midsoles....so I'm eagerly awaiting the 2 to drop this Oct. It hurt to watch you slice into a wearable shoe....but it was a great review!

never knew it was full length air

GREAT VIDEO I BOUGHT ONE IN LUCKY GREEN AND I IMMEDIATLY THOUGHT AIR WAS IN THE FRONT TOO !

dope video!! thanks for the deconstruction. you gotta do the Nike Air Max Penny 1 next.

I think in terms of performance, the GOAT is the Air Jordan 13 because it withstood the test of time - it's still better than most other modern shoes. Just gotta do something about the way it looks. Haha

Never as bad as some claimed, but never all that amazing either. There are many Air Jordans and the 2s are certainly one of them.

Of all the 2's to chop in half you chose the Alternate 87's?? These are easily one of the best pairs of 2's ever made, the whole 'Alternate' line is fire, basically they're classic Jordan's in color ways that would have been allowed under the 51% rule back then meaning they had to be 51% of your teams base color like white or black,and in a color way Jordan would have prefered based on his preferences. The Alternate 89's are also easily one of the best Jordan 4 colorways ever (White and Red in a never before seen colorway that looks amazing) and the Alternate 90's are by far the best low 5's ever made (picture 6 infrareds made into a Jordan 5, basically 5 breds and also amazing looking), both the Alternate 89 and 90 go for around $400-$500 a pair, I can't imagine these are far off. You should have got the cheapest pair of 2's you could get and cut them up, cutting up Alternate 87's is sacrilege lol.

I always thought the Low looked better, personally. Would probably work well with Golf cleats.

is there a way to expose the midsole like the offwhite jordan 2?

hey zack have you looked at some of westbrooks shoes and could you do a review on a pair?

You should checkout some footprint insoles.

Please let there be an Air Jordan 3 teardown 🙏🔥

One of the best looking of the line

Th 2 were light year's better looking than the 1. Very futuristic.

What's up with the false clickbait title? Michael Jordan never said he didn't like the 2s, he's never been quoted as saying that. In '87, he did contemplate leaving Nike, after Rob Strasser and Peter Moore left the brand to start their own company. It was a chaotic time for the brand, and given the lackluster sales of the 2s, due to reduced marketing $$ he felt he was going to be put on the back burner so why not leave. It's not because he didn't like the shoe. I suggest reading Swoosh the Unauthorized Story of Nike and the Men who Played There.

AJ 2's are some of my least favorite ever. They look so cheap and generic.
