Rare Air – Air Jordan II 1985 Unreleased Prototype - Air 23 - Air Jordan Release Dates, Foamposite, Air Max, and More

As many of you are probably aware, a sneaker goes through numerous prototypes before going into production. Thanks to the wonder called the Internet, we are usually given a chance to see these prototypes. Unfortunately, the Net wasn’t around back in the 80s, so many of the earlier prototypes remained secret. Until now.

Here’s a look at an early prototype Air Jordan IIs. The first thing you’ll probably notice is, these don’t really look much like the AJ2s we know at all. In fact they look a lot more like the Air Jordan 1. Something tells me MJ wasn’t quite satisfied with the Is, and sent Nike back to the drawing board after seeing these. Also, notice the Air Jordan symbol has been placed on the side, right in the middle, and the perforated ankle area, possibly to add better breathing. Just shows you how far the IIs came before reaching their final version.
