Woodgrain-like detailing adorns overlays across the profile, opting for a slightly-yellow finish found around the collar, forefoot, and lower hind-foot. Gaps in-between the tip of the toe and top of the tongue deviate in a pitch-black nubuck. The bulk of the midsole also indulges in a dark-colored presentation, creating stark contrast from most of the top-half.
Red-colored elements appear throughout the upper, delivering a parallel between Jordan Brand and Hillerich & Bradsby Company (H&B), the iconic wooden bat’s original manufacturer. Another call out to the North American sports equipment company arrives on the tongue in the form of a special His Heirness & Co. logo.
Other references to the Louisville Slugger® include a Louisville, KY tab on the lateral ankle and the year 1894 emboridered onto the top of the spine. “Louisville Slugger” was trademarked in that year.
Enjoy detailed photos of the special Jordan 2 retro ahead. Pairs will not see a Nike.com/Jordan release at some point, but other baseball-inspired products could launch to the public in the future.
