In an effort to appeal to consumers who are more keen to purchase simplified sneakers than statement-making ones, Nike launched a pair of Deconstructed Air Jordan 2s that make use of a single color.
Like the classic Air Jordan 2s, the sneakers have a mid-top silhouette that makes them a little more supportive on the court, while also supplying them with a bolder aesthetic. Unlike the classics, the Deconstructed Air Jordan 2s don't feature any added padding around the collars, which gives them a sleeker look that's a little more versatile.
To maintain the simplistic look, the sneakers only make use of dark hue of wine, which is carried throughout the uppers and down to the soles for a uniform look.
