Air Jordan 2 Alternate 87 Release Date

This weekend marks the return of one of Jordan Brand's most popular Air Jordan silhouettes, but this around, in a never-before-seen colorway. Taking cues from Michael Jordan's former NBA team, the Chicago Bulls, the Jumpman adds a refreshing touch to the classic Air Jordan 2 sneaker.

Set to drop in the days to come, this Air Jordan 2, dubbed as the Alternate 87 version, features a two-tone colorway. Dressed in an all black leather upper, the shoe features hits of red on the eyelets, Jordan wings logo branding, heel and outsole. The shoe, which is meant to portray a Player Exclusive silhouette in 1987 if Michael Jordan were to wear the shoe, will be one of the most anticipated sneakers from the Air Jordan line in 2016. Giving the shoe a nostalgic touch, the Jumpman adds a the old school Nike logo to the heel of the sneaker.

Following the successful release of the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Beach iteration, the Jordan Brand looks to capitalize off the upcoming Air Jordan 2 release. The Air Jordan 2 Alternate 87 iteration is scheduled to drop on Saturday, Feb. 6, at select Jordan Brand retailers and at Nike.com. Set for a suggested price of $190, look for these kicks to be in demand among sneakerheads upon its release.
