Jordan Brand introduces a new tonal iteration of the Air Jordan 2 sneaker model with a Cement Grey colorway palette to join the roster for the Spring season. The classic high-top silhouette is detailed with a simplistic look made up of white, sail, black, and cement grey throughout the entire sneaker.
The upper is mostly made from a crisp white leather base foundation and then detailed with cement grey accents that are seen along the lining of the tongue. Branding can be seen on the heel sections with black piping lining the panels. Rounding out the sneaker is a sail tonal heel counter and grey rubber outsole unit as the insole is detailed with a skyline graphic reading "Loo, Up In The Air."
