Jordan Brand works in collaboration with A Ma Maniére on a new iteration of the Air Jordan 2 sneaker model with the latest Airness silhouette. The duo shines a spotlight on the crackled leather makeup that is seen on the exterior section of the upper, making up most of the base foundation.
Dark maroon is then applied as the main overlaying detail and can be seen by the heel paneling and the piping detail. Black enters the look as it marks up the laces, the interior quilted lining accent, and the ball-and-wings logo seen on the tongue section. More branding can be seen bt the back and the midsoles boast a slightly textured look with the snakeskin scales.
