Nike and Jordan Brand have teamed up with partners from cultural touchstones around the world, spotlighting standout sneaker retailers and their communities. From Detroit to South Africa to Manila, they’re bringing their inspiring local stories to a global audience atop the coveted Jordan 2 Low.
The second collaborator is Detroit sneaker boutique Two 18, the sister store to famed retailer Burn Rubber – proving that greatness comes from the community that surrounds them. This fresh take on the Air Jordan 2 Low is unquestionably born out of hometown pride, bridging worlds to showcase fashion as a way of life and a universal language.
Crafted from richly textured suedes with crisp leather accents, this collaborative Jordan 2 is full of artisanal detailing from branding to hardware to stitching, while plastic eyelets add a tortoiseshell touch. Look inside to discover a map of Detroit’s metro area printed on the insole.
The iced outsole has a sombre inspiration – the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. The brown-to-clear gradient represents the ongoing efforts to clean the water of Flint, with Two 18 calling out the gradual improvements as the water moves from dirty to clean.
