The Off-White x Air Jordan 2 Retro Low SP ‘White Varsity Red’ delivers Virgil Abloh’s take on the retro silhouette originally released in 1986. This pair replicates the look of the OG ‘White/Red’ colorway, featuring a white leather upper with red piping and a matching red heel overlay. Abloh’s signature touches are present and accounted for, including a plastic zip tie, Helvetica text on the medial side panel, and exposed foam on the collar and tongue.

Produced in Italy, the Air Jordan 2 comes with faux lizard skin on the upper, a full-length Nike Air midsole, and a Swoosh-less design. The sneaker was revolutionary in that it was one of the first basketball shoes to feature a soft midsole from heel to toe. After it's original release in 1987, the Air Jordan 2 saw its first retro in 1994. Rumor has it the original molds were lost or stolen and the sneaker wouldn't retro until 2004.
