[Jordan Brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fadeaway-bag) gets another footwear model with the addition of the new ADG 2 model that is similar to the the design of the iconic [Air Jordan 3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-23-1) and the Jordan Trunner NXT. The functionality of the latest silhouette boasts the visual aesthetics of a basketball shoe but prepares for [golfing purposes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-golf).

The sneaker comes in the colorway options of black or white with the signature elephant print on the heel and the eyestays. Both of the tonal options feature red accents in the form of the Jumpman on the tongue and at the eyelets. The midsole is elongated with a spiky cushioned foundation which references the Trunner NXT shoe. The heel clip is slightly raised with an embossed Jumpman logo in white with black on one colorway and black with red on the other.
