All About the Air Jordan 2 Retro Carmelo 2004
Living up to the success of the Air Jordan 1 was no small task, so Nike enlisted two of its most accomplished designers, Bruce Kilgore and Peter Moore, to collaborate on the newest Air Jordan design.
Kilgore, who created the Air Force 1 in 1982, and Moore, who designed the Air Jordan 1, decided to develop a shoe that could perform on the court and still look great with a suit.
Nike was able to achieve the elegance of the Air Jordan 2 by producing them in Italy using premium Italian leather and faux iguana skin. They also eliminated the large Swoosh logo for a cleaner look. Although the Nike signature appears on the heel and the outsole, this was the first sneaker to feature Air Jordan as the primary branding with the iconic Wings logo on the tongue.
The new Air Jordan design also underwent performance upgrades, including a speed lacing system, foam midsoles, larger air units in the heel for more support and a large heel cup wrapping the rear of the shoe for stability.
History of Air Jordan 2
Originally released in 1986, the Air Jordan 2 is an often-overlooked silhouette in the Air Jordan lineage, but it’s a worthy shoe, nonetheless. While it wasn't as monumental as the Air Jordan 1 that preceded it or as culture-shifting as the Air Jordan 3 that followed, the Air Jordan 2 was undoubtedly ahead of its time.
The silhouette embodied luxury decades before there was a steady demand for designer-quality shoes from sportswear brands or full-on collaborations like the recently released Dior x Air Jordan 1.
Jordan 2 Retro Carmelo 2004
Paying homage to Carmelo Anthony, the Air Jordan 2 Retro Carmelo dropped in 2004. It revisits the exact colorway that Anthony wore during his 2003 rookie year with the Nuggets. Originally a Player Exclusive, Anthony's version bore the nickname MELO on the heel collar whereas the general release showcased Nike branding. The retro AJ2 version pays strict attention to the classic Bruce Kilgore silhouette first introduced in 1986. The upper is all leather, boasting an outlined overlay and perforated details along the vamp. The classic three-tone colorway mixes Varsity Maize and Carolina Blue, the latter offsetting the heel counter, laces, and Nike Air unit-infused midsole. Jordan branding appears on the outsole, and an OG Air Wings logo spans the exterior of the tongue.
