Yo!! 4 Seconds into the video the I said "Hood Kids". My apologies if that offends you. It was a poor choice of words on my end. I meant no disrespect by it. To be fair, I actually grew up in the hood so it felt natural to say it that way. Also before you call me a "stupid white boy" I'm actually 100% Mexican lol I remember having to learn English as a little kid living in the hood. If you want to unsub I totally get it. Please know that I'm sorry and I take the L seriously.

The more I look at a jordan 2 makes me want a pair even more

Props to my man Bill Murray rocking them in Space Jam.

I think the 2s were the most innovative and therefore deserving of the most respect for blowing everything up. The 1s aren’t too much different than the Air Forces or Dunks for the time but the 2’s were totally original and different from the prevailing bb sneakers silhouettes. On top of that, no swoosh, which seems crazy. From there you can see the evolution into the 3’s then 4’s, my two personal favorites. I really never got why the 1s were a big deal. Could have just as easily been AF1s, Dunks of whatever 3 eyelid shoe in Bulls colorway. The 2s set it off.

I am 49 years old. I have been wearing Js my whole life...starting with the Chicago 1 in '85. The one pair that eluded me from the 1 to the 11 growing up was the 2. 35 years later I copped the Chicago 2 'Reimagined'. I cannot stress what a gorgeous shoe this is in hand.

The Jordan 2: Simple, elegant, luxurious.

Its so hard to get Jordan 2s. I wish they would retro them more often.

I can wear Jordan 2’s for the rest of my life!! 2’s are my favorite Jordan’s of all time.

They didn't fail, I love em. Want the OG ones.

2’a are the most underrated Jordan ever, and I didn’t like them at all till I got a pair in 04, I was in 7th grade and man they became one of my favorite shoes ever, listened to Curren$y say they one of his favorite Jordan’s. Funny thing I bought a pair randomly and went to a Curren$y concert that day and he ended up signing them that day.

It's crazy because I love this Air jordan shoe. It's very comfortable too. I wish nike would do a proper retro of this shoe in the og colorways. It's way overdue

For me personally, it was the 2 that made me fall in love with Air Jordans. The Chicago colorway is a must have🔥🔥🔥

The Jordan 2 is one the comfiest shoes I’ve ever played ball in considering how old they are it’s amazing they play so well and I love how simple and elegant they are!

$100 in 1986 for the Air Jordan 2s was like $235 today

I personally like them, I like how they have that classic, old skool look and vibe to them

I'm a fashion designer and I'm so happy to see this shoe's purpose to finally be coming into fruition

The only "failure" of the 3 is to be an extremely warm shoe, I cannot wear it for more than two hours. For what I remember it's like that because it's heavily padded at Jordan's request after the injury in the 1.

The Jordan II would sell like hotcakes if they did premium material fashion house collabs with them. People would buy just for the hype. Imagine a Gucci or Versace rendition of these.

I like 2’s, idk why it failed

"Wearing gold chains while playing on the court" That was during the slam dunk contest

The Jordan 2 is one of my faves. The design was ahead of its time. That's what makes the 2 unique. I hope Nike release them again. Also my man you left out why they never released a black colorway; and how it was possible later on Peace✌🏿

I love the 2s.... I just hate that they never give us the good leather

I never understood why the 2s are so unpopular compared to the others. It still remains the only Jordans that I've ever wanted. The black sole stripe and black laces are so distinctive, nobody wore black laces on white during that time except Jordan. When you see a clip from an old game, you know what year it is when he wears the 2s, the next six seasons all look the same from afar. I never could afford them when thet came out but I had a pair of British Knights that were white with a black stripe on the sole with black laces. It was the closest i could get. Still Jordan's coolest look.

I didn’t George Zimmerman was doing sneaker reviews now 🤣

The 2 is a slept on Jordan and whenever I see it, I feel as though Jordan Brand allowed the person to touch it because it’s not one of the more popular sneakers. For example, when Vashtie did the lilac pair in 2010, I thought that they were cool, but it would have been 100 times better if they had let her produce a Jordan 3, which is one of her favorite sneakers. The Eminem 2s are ok, but I’d never buy a pair. The Don C 2s are dope because of the Chanel-inspired pattern and the blue pair is dope! Another great video and thank you for inviting me to be a part of Sneaker Enthusiasts! 👊🏾🙏🏾

Honestly if you own a pair of air Jordan 2. you know how really really comfortable especially the 2001-02 pair and even the 2010 pair. They are so underrated. I’ll take a pair of the OG color way all day just so I can say yeah these are the ones he wore when he won his 1st dunk contest and 1st scoring title. The way the black laces hit on the white tongue. It’s amazing. Just so underrated. I hope the release them again. It’s been too long Jordan Brand!

“Hood kids” then shows picture of black kids

I truly appreciate this YT Channel. One of the BEST Channels for Sneaker Content. Most other channels are pretentious and over the top. Keep up the good work.

One of the more underrated Jordans.....simple but elegant

I had the Jordan 2 knockoff: the Troop Slick Series!

The most unique Jordan’s to date!!

The reason why the Air Jordan 2 is one of my favorites is the Jordan video Come Fly With Me came out on my birthday in 1989. I bought it and watched it hundreds of times. The best highlights in that video came from the season Jordan wore the 2s. Ironically a few years later in High School a friend had mint condition original 2s that I bought off of him. I wore them a few times and they weren't very comfortable. I still love the high top version with black laces.

Yall trippin! I rocked the Chicago colorway heavy. Underrated silhouette.

The Air Jordan 2 is my favorite Jordan sneaker! We need a OG retro STAT

I love being a part of your Facebook group, Bryan! Much love. I rewatch your videos everyday. (I made the post asking people to add your group earlier lol)

Hey, man! I just recently discovered your KZfaq channel and I just wanted to let you know it's incredible! I love my sneaker history!

I think they are amazing, it is a higher quality version of the 1s and a more comfortable shoe overall! I really wish people wouldn’t backlash the twos so much but i understand, it’s like “oh this is what’s hip and cool” and Jordan 2 just wasn’t able to carry that at the time because it was “different” I just got my first pair of 2s and I am so excited to rock them when I get them!!!

Personally, I love the 2. I think it's the most comfy early Jordan to wear and compared to the rest of the first 6, in MY opinion, it's the best for actually hooping in. It's actually in my top 5 retro Js to play in, 13, 10, 2, 7 and 12. Plus I think the design is one of the most clean abs elegant of all the Air Jordans. For design, my top 5 are the 2, 10, 13, 1 and 3. The 11 is cool, but a bit flashy to make that list.

The 2’s, 8’s and 10’s I think are the most under appreciated J’s in the 1-14 lineup. That’s good with me though, then I can cop ‘em for a good price since they won’t be all hyped up.

Great review Brian! I agree with you that the air Jordan 2 is probably the least liked of all of the retroed Jordan’s. This is actually the only retro of the 1-14 models that I don’t own, I’m eagerly waiting on the red, black and white models to drop. Keep up the good work👌🏾

I love my 2s, one of the more comfortable jordan retros. durable, great traction and despite the smaller air unit the cushioning is really felt.

I bought the 2s in 2010 a few months before my son was born. They mean alot to me. I LOVE THE AIR JORDAN 2.

I remember seeing these shoes for the first time nearly 10 years after they came out. They felt weird because they didn’t look like any of the Jordans I had been seeing in the past but for some reason I gravitated to them and ever since then I liked them and have been wanting a pair till this day

These are my favorite Air Jordans(The original ones made in Italy , not the retros) best ankle protection

I love my Jordan 2's, people just wanna buy what everyone else thinks is hot

My Favs were the Jordan 2 x Converse pack. The light blue and white just looks amazing, and with the hints of red and black. Also the Jordan 1.5 would be a good shoe to drop on April Fools or something.

Subscribing bc of this video - can’t wait to learn more history about the sneakers I love.

I love the 2’s. Always did. I remember seeing them when I was a kid. Then seeing them on Spike Lee’s movie Skool Dayz. Simple dope design.

I love the Jordan 2. It's a hard shoe to release multiple successful colorways for, but it's still a great, underappreciated shoe. I seriously can't wait for the Chicago colorway to re-release.

Aside from the 1's, the 2's are by far my favorite Jordan's hands down. I own 13 pairs ( 8 retros/5 Decons ) and i coped 2 pair of Nike Air Python's just because they looked like the 2's. You getting high, them shits just as nice, if not one of the best Jordans models that ever released. The only ones i didn't like was the white/black/red ones. Definitely an underappreciated model.

I love this channel i always learn something new

All I have is 2's. Currently six pairs. First kid in school to have the OG Chicago Home in '87, loved them ever since.

Love the Jordan 2. One of the most comfortable Jordan's ever. I think that unless you grew up in that era; it's truly hard to appreciate the Jordan 2 & it's history. Great vid. Appreciate your channel.

Kinda like it but with a swoosh I imagine it being perfect

The 2 was amazing. I remember that those were the most different, most coveted shoes we had ever seen in 1987. Everyone wanted those. But Nike blew it when they apparently lost the original mold. They have never looked quite the same. The toe box is too bulky and square. The original toe box had a low, sleek profile and the shoe was more narrow (or at least more form fitting). That’s how the made in Italy shoes looked and that change in subtlety changed how we now see that shoe. They also put that stupid piping on white black and red high colorway. Why??? They never retro’d the original colorway since 1994. The beauty of that shoe was the simple elegance of the all white upper, red heel support and black outsole. That piping screwed up the whole look by making it look cheap or gimmicky. Finally, the materials feel different. The original 2 had the leather that looked and felt like full-grain. The retros feel like chrome-tanned plastic coated crap. Man. If they ever get that shoe right, it will be as coveted as it used to be. Other than the recent black, white and red low retros that look similar to the originals, the other retros have been horrible. Just ugly. Nike, if you are listening or reading, fix it. Just do it.

I have 2 different pairs of 2's they actually stand out from all the Jordans !

I was in high school when these came out, it’s an odd concept now but we used to wear J’s to ball in. The OG 2’s were h e a v y as hell so they weren’t anybody’s first choice. People were into the Converse weapons either the Bird black and white or the Magic’s colorway, you almost associated star players with the shoe company back then. Xavier McDaniel wore Spot Bilts, Avia was Drexler, Worthy was New Balance and so on. There was a lot of competition so the OG Jordan’s were easily passed over due to the $100 price tag.

I personally love 2’s the og’s of course but also the melo pe and can we get a retro of the blk and sliver from the early 2000s

For me the top 3 Jordan’s have to be : 1.One’s 2. 11’s 3. 3’s or 6’s

As a member of our Sneaker Enthusiast group Love you for this!!

2s can be some of the freshest Jordan's if you style them right and get a good colorway.

That was my first pair of Jordan’s when they first came out they were my favorite

I remember being on summer break and visiting my aunt in Texas back in '86 and we went to the mall looking for shoes. They had these in my size for $86!!! You couldn't find these shoes in my hometown and I was foaming at the mouth to get these shoes because I'd be the only kid who had them! Well, on the day we were going to get them my aunt lost her job that same day. I was devastated. I'll always love this shoe for the style but also for the 'what could have been' lol!!

Love the AJII. Definitely the underdog model. These were the most hated Jordan way before the AJXV LOL. Had the "Silver Anniversary" editions back in 2004 and they are comfy.

I feel like it's a luxurious shoe to wear. At least with the iguana skin, making it seem higher end like Gucci or Versace. However I would love to own a pair. Preferably all ⚫. 😅 its just my attire is mostly dark colors and I feel like that's how I get most out of my sneakers. Not a fan of light colors but if its clean I'll rock a pair.

*Jordan 2 is my fav shoe period what, crazy about that is until now I never own a pair, it's always been hard shoe to get it doesn't drop like regular retros. So it makes it harder to grab because folks buy them just for the resale. The og colorways and the lows are fire. One thing you never have to worry about is going out to a game, concert, or bar/club and seeing someone with the same shoe you got on if you wearing the 2's.*

My dad had a fresh pair of Jordan 2 varsity from 04. Always wanted a pair after that.

I had the retro white with yellow logo. Looking for the original colorway now. Always loved the shoe

Aesthetically, the Air Jordan 2, might be one it’s most influential for other models. It’s clean white upper and black bottom half horizontal bar color blocking can clearly be seen copied on the white AJ V, AJ VII, AJ IX, AJ X, AJ XI, AJ XII, AJ XVIII, AJ 21, AJ 22, AJ 23, AJ 24, AJ 26 and AJ 27

I love the Jordan 2, actually is my favorite Jordan with the Chicago 1 being neck and neck. I have 2 pairs of the Chicago colorway and the wing it pair.

The Jordan 2’s retro in 2004 were my first and only pair of Jordan’s when I was kid, I remember they were really comfortable

IMO Don C saved the Jordan 2 from being hated on so much. Can’t be mad at any UNC/Pantone Blue themed colorway, though. Even if it’s a Jordan 2. The Melo 2s are fire, too honestly.

I can see the luxury idea in the shoe. The Jordan 2 is not my favorite but it’s a very nice shoe. I would love to wear a pair, but give me a 1, 3, or 4 and it’s game over for the 2s. Great video 👍

“The most popular Jordan’s “ (does not include Jordan 1’s)

My top 5 Favorite Air Jordan's 1. Air Jordan 1 (Chicago) 2. Air Jordan 4 (Cements) 3. Air Jordan 3 (Michigan) 4. Air Jordan 5 (Fire Red) 5. Air Jordan 7 (Sweaters)

The Retro 2 are dope especially the new color ways that’s currently coming out and they comfortable. They are definitely a shoe you have to see on foot to get a better feel for em.

I'm hoping for a history video on the Ewing shoes from Adidas Metro Attitude to the Ewing 33 Hi which are both sneakers I wish to get.

Didn’t fail.... just goes to show how many “Jordan heads” can’t appreciate a beautiful classic shoe

The Melo & Chrome colorways were my grails growing up. Still dying for them to retro

I got a pair of low tops in 1995 from the deep discount rack. They were the most clean beautiful comfortable shoes plus the no swoosh.

it would be great if you make a video about the history of Shaquille O’neal’s Reebok Shaq Attaq guyss!

the jordan 2 is one of my favourite shoes to rock on and off the court. the traction is meh but the overall comfort is crazy. absolutely love it.

I’m in need of the red, white & Grey! That colorway is so clean. It needs a proper retro. Call them the 87’s and bring back the wing box

How can my fav shoe ever be a failure. I’m just learning this and totally confused. I seriously love it more than life itself.

No swoosh. No hype. No love. I personally like

The Jordan 2's are my favorite. I have three pairs. There just clean & classy.

“You already know what shoe I’m talking about” Me: yeah it’s in the title

Thanks, please keep this theme throughout the duration of #TheLastDance documentary. At least the Pippen Air Uptempo & Rodman N’Dstrukt signature shoes & Jordan 1-14. **Im still waiting on that Dion Sanders Diamond Turf video too 💪🏿💯 keep up the great work 🙌🏿

The simplicity of the 2 is iconic!

So sad Jordan2 not popular over the world...If Chinese is enthusiasm for jordan2,It might be line up for getting one at all stores.

I just traded in a majority of my 1s and 3s for a smaller collection of 2 collabs. I’d much rather wear some Union 2s and be the only person rocking a 2 than to see every person i bump into wearing a 1 or a dunk.

so underrated, i love these even tho i don’t got my pair yet

I got the Jordan 1.5 Chicago, that Jordan 2 sole on it makes it way more comfortable.

Dude really said hood kids 10 seconds into the video ...

The black metallic colorway with silver accents is still til this day one of my most sought after pair of Jordans!

The Jordan 2 was my first pair of Jordans I had the radio raheem colorway, been dying to buy that colorway again! So sick

I remember when they first came out. Jordan 1s were my favorite. I owned 3 pair. My friends in 7th grade would talk about how there’s gonna be a new Jordan. We were all excited in anticipation as they approached their release and then finally they dropped and I thought “there must be some kind of mistake.” like these can’t be it. They were so disappointing. Like I really wanted to like them. I thought maybe I’ll like them more in time. Well 32 years later and I still can’t stand them. Their design is just a big flop. So glad they bounced back with the 3s and 4s - along with the 1s three of the greatest sneaker designs in history.

jordan 2's remind me of fila....everytime i see it

I own the white and blue 2s they were one of the first Jordan I bought when I started working

This video def confirmed my thoughts that the Jordan 2 looked to me like a mix of the air force 1 and jordan 1.
