Air Jordan II “Chicago” December 30th 2022

[jshortt]

Irrelevant of my point.

Nobody is buying retro Air Jordans because of how they physically feel, and that's a fact.

My point is why make something MORE uncomfortable? Nobody can see what damn airsole is encapsulated, so why mess with that just to make them "closer to OG specs" when not a single person had a problem with it. At the end of the day, they're still shoes and they should provide at least some degree of comfort. It wasn't broke, so why "fix" it?

Not to mention that when most people talk about “OG specs,” we’re almost always talking about looks and materials. Like you say, I don’t recall anyone ever asking for a cushioning downgrade in the rare shoes Nike/JB actually UPGRADED for once.

I'm definitely ironing the toeboxes down on my pair if they look a lil too shelf like.

I think Im gonna go for these since I no longer own a pair of 2s. I had the Q54s in my TTS 10.5, but I had the Just Wing Its in an 11, which were super comfy. Q54s would make my feet hurt with extended wear. Trying to decide if I should go TTS or .5 up.

I had a chance to check out a pair of these in a store today. Wanted to take them home so bad. They look great. I guess my only critique is I wish the ankle was just a little less puffy, more like the originals. The 2s just got too bulky over time. They looked excellent tho.

Well if the 11 was comfy for you then I would say go with that size. I always found 2's to fit tts to me though. Could be different with this remastered retro though since the shape is closer to the og's unlike previous releases.

I love anything infrared, and had a pair of these years ago. They looked great in pics, but kinda bulky on foot.

I'm praying that these Chicago 2s are slimmed down! At the very least the smoothed out the toebox from the Infrared 2s.

Looked great

Looked great

I agree with you. They looked great in pics not in feet. But when I put them on, I didn't like them. That's why I only wore them in the rain.

 

[pwguy]

Yeah...leather looks like plastic, and toe shape is, well, not attractive. I don't get the appeal. Aside from reimagining to get the OG shape of various models recently, now JB needs to step up their game with quality materials, particularly with the 2s and 3s.

 

[stan23]

Yep, I liked the colors, but everything else was not so good. I threw them up on GOAT years ago and got 40 bucks

I’m puzzled as to why these are not on SNKRS. Did I miss something?

They will probably load it this weekend/next week

 

[lilchico4life]

Loaded on Snkrs

 

[wolfman928]

Loaded on Snkrs

& on all FLX apps as well!

 

[blacklion23]

I noticed on SNKRS app one listing is for Women sizes. Kinda weird, was expecting GS sizes. I do see GS sizes on FLX apps though.

 

[iTookanL]

I have a feeling this release will be similar to the FR3s mainly due to the fact that they release after Christmas & money is tight for many

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Help

It's actually normally the opposite.

Kids and people get money and gift cards. These won't be hard, because resellers won't care, because collab 2's are even going for less than retail.

 

[iTookanL]

But then again who knows, they may instantly sell-out and resale will be like the L&Fs

I'm seeing both

That's also a good point

You would think. But bots been going crazy the last few releases. Probably plenty that have missed out recently and will settle for these. No settle for me, need these more than any other JB release this year.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Yup been waiting on these
