today we're going to be taking a look at the off-white air jordan 2 low a lot of
people definitely have their opinions when it comes to this sneaker and you know i got to
give you guys mine as well we're going to talk about styles cuts materials inspirations hype
price you name it everything will be covered in today's video and if you did not know by now
my name is dj and this is the dna show so the first thing we need to do is crack this
box open and see what these shoes even look like and then we'll talk about the
history inspiration and then styles cuts materials and all those other fancy things
starting with the box you have your og style air jordan 2 box but with the major twist they did
a clear box all throughout the bottom inside of the box and then on the lid of the box it's all
white with the holes like you typically get on the recent off-white air jordan releases
looking at the size tag it reads air jordan 2 retro low sp black varsity royal 250 bucks
now initial impressions off of the price with this shoe being 250 dollars for a low top retro
two that's kind of expensive so let's crack this box open and see if they're really able to live up
to that retail price point you have two separate bags right here so each shoe comes individually
bagged with your classic all-over print with the off-road bribes we have seen this before
on other off-white releases so let's open up one of them and then we'll look at everything else
so pulling up in this right here you have a white paper with a jumpman logo on it and it says air
jordan and then off white just below that with a circle and then you got the shoe oh
you got the shoe okay first impressions of this sneaker i got to touch the materials because i
know there is a lot when it comes to the design inspiration the leather is actually not that bad
they might i might be able to understand it i don't know though 250 is still kind of high
we're gonna see once we get a little bit deeper into this shoe so like typical fashion you know
we gotta talk about the history first so let's go ahead and take it back to 1986. we originally
saw the chicago 2 colorway surface and a couple other color ways to follow that in 1987. most
people think that every air jordan was designed by tinker hatfield but that is incorrect bruce
kilgore and peter moore were the designers of the air jordan 2 before tinker hatfield came on the
scene to design the air jordan 3. back in the late 80s the air jordan 2 released and retailed at 105
wow ain't that crazy 105 dollars in 250 now for a low top we ain't even talking about the high top
man if they would have made a high top they would have probably charged us 300 but i get it i get it
inflation all those other things i understand i understand now when it comes to the design
process of this new 2021 version there is a whole new team obviously that worked on it and with the
collaboration with virgil they took this model to a whole new level and we've probably never seen
this done before the jordan team decided to take a 3d scan of the original air jordan 2 with michael
jordan's autograph and recreated that version into this shoe that we have today so i know a
lot of sneaker heads they talk about how they like to see sneakers recreated like the og style
but as of right now this could potentially be the closest version to original that we may have
ever seen in the past 20 years and one thing that made me extremely excited about this release when
it comes to the two color ways which i don't have the white pair yet i plan to get those as soon as
possible but anyways i have the original version stop it i've kept these in my display case for
many of years i have been collecting sneakers for about 15 years now and i actually picked these up
a long time ago probably about 14 years ago like when i first started collecting and the midsoles
didn't look this bad when i first got these and as you can see over time it's getting worse so
when i saw the opportunity to purchase these i immediately wanted to go after them because i'm
not saying i deserve to have this shoe or anything but i already had the og in my collection so it
made me just want these a little bit more so now that you guys know a little bit about the history
and my emotional attachment to this collaboration in particular let's go ahead and break down this
shoe starting with the outsole you have your classic air jordan 2 outsole and they got the
little cracked vibes right here on the nike logo as well right here on the other shoe they got
the little crack right here so i like that little touch giving you that og vibe even on the outsole
going up to the midsole like i said earlier this is giving you that og vibe the same recreation of
the og version that they made the 3d model of so we get that already you got your all black with
your yellow vibes inside of there and then on to the upper when it comes to the leather you have
a really thick nice premium leather when it comes to this shoe and the overall just weight of this
sneaker is actually really really heavy compared to your normal air jordan sneaker it almost gives
you like a premium dress shoe type of vibe when it comes to the weight of the shoe looking at the
back end of the shoe you have your black plastic right here on the bottom and your blue at the top
slit open just a little bit right here where they have the deconstructed vibes around the top of the
sock liner with the all black sock liner a white insole with a black jumpman and a black off-white
logo as well you got your classic off-white hang tag right here this one comes in a yellow version
these come laced with a pair of blue laces to match with the upper you have an additional pair
of red kind of like this i won't even actually say these are red it's kind of more of a faded type
of muted type of red and then you have a black pair of laces as well so these come with three
sets of laces a hang tag premium materials a super dope box a nice recreation on the
midsole i'm starting to understand why the price might just be a little bit higher than normal
another super dope touch that they added to the sneaker as well is michael jordan's autograph
right here on the side of the foot and then you have your classic off-white branding on the
inside of the foot as well with the beaver tin and everything like that going to the tongue of the
foot you have a premium black leather as well with a rubber air jordan wings logo right here in blue
and the same thing on the other tongue as well so overall as i look at this sneaker and i start to
realize all the details and all the hard work that went into creating this shoe it begins to make
more and more sense why the retail price point was 250 bucks especially saying that they didn't make
you know millions of pairs of the shoe typically the lower the amount of production the higher cost
and then when you add more things the cost gets a little bit higher so i completely understand why
these retailed at 250 and i definitely understand why these things are worth 500 bucks and could
potentially be worth a thousand dollars down the line which we'll get into in a second but first
we need to see what everybody else thinks about the shoe because clearly you know i like the shoe
but i want to see what everybody else thinks so if you haven't already make sure you follow me
on ig so you can participate in the polls and see all the results here on the channel this is what
the people said 52 percent of the people chose fire and 48 of the people chose trash a lot of
people don't even have air jordan 2's in general in their collection and i completely understand
that it's not a super hyped up shoe but i know coming into next year it's going to force its way
to being a talked about sneaker simply because of all the collaborations that we have coming
with union and off white and jay balvin and amanie and all those other brands i completely understand
the tactic from jordan brand to create the hype for a new sneaker a new retro a new model all
those different things and don't be surprised if you see the air jordan 2 hot on the scene with the
collaborations this year coming up and then the following year 2023 we see a bunch of different
retros of og colorways or previous releases because everybody has those favorites right
i want to see the chrome 2's release again i want to see the mel i know the mellow 2's released
not that long ago but i want to see the melo 2's release again with the better material obviously
chicago 2's love to see those as well og white and red 2s you can never have enough of those so
for me there's definitely four or five colorways i would love to see retro again just because of the
materials and the other ones falling apart on me from years ago so i'm definitely excited to seeing
the air jordan 2 being brought back into the shoe game and back into people's rotations and seeing
people rocking them more often and everything like that so let's talk about prices real quick
when it comes to this sneaker in this colorway these are hidden for just over 400 bucks right now
i think they're gonna linger around this price for a little bit and give it some time typical like
all other off-white shoes next thing you know this sneaker is going to be worth 400 then it's gonna
go to 600 then it'd be 800 and people are gonna be saying wow could this shoe actually be worth
a thousand dollars i have a feeling that's what's gonna happen in time maybe a year maybe two who
knows but either way i don't see any reason why this sneaker wouldn't go up in value over time
so if you're able to get this shoe now or wait for a little bit and get it for a little bit cheaper
somewhere in the 300 range saying that the shoe was 250 retail i feel like that's still solid and
respectable and then from there you're gonna be like damn bro i'm glad i got them for 350 because
a year from now i guarantee you this shoe is not gonna be worth 350 or 400 bucks again and one last
thing i feel like these shoes look solid on foot like i don't know about you but it's pretty much
an all-black colorway you can wear these with a lot of different outfits and i definitely see
people pulling them off and as people start to see people rocking them with different outfits
and realizing how clean the shoe actually really is they're gonna start to appreciate it a little
bit more so that's all i'm saying i love this shoe i'm excited about it as you can see i showed
you guys my og because i just been waiting for something like this and it's it's now happening
and it's super dope to see it and recreate it with a different midsole and everything and all
the design process so for me again yes i'm happy i would love to hear what you guys have to say
