This new Air Jordan 2 is what it would look like if Michael Jordan played for the Celtics

Michael Jordan on the Celtics would be wild — just like this sneaker

Seeing the Air Jordan 2 in a Boston Celtics colorway is kind of weird, but it’s also kind of clean, too?

The Jordan 2 typically comes in that classic Chicago style — the red, black and white all over with the classic leathers and faux iguana skin to top the sneaker off.

But the “Lucky Green” Jordan 2 is a bit different. The bright green tone brings a new life and a new story to the sneaker that we haven’t seen before. It’s a simple sneaker colorway, but it takes the imagination to some wild places for any fan of the game of basketball.

Check it out on the latest episode of Special Delivery, where Sykes and the crew take a look at the Jordan 2 in this wild colorway.

SPECIAL DELIVERY: Please don’t miss the point of the A Ma Maniére Air Jordan 2

The Air Jordan 2 has themes worthy of exploration…but nobody seems to want to explore them.

The A Ma Maniére Air Jordan 2 is an absolutely gorgeous shoe. The details are to die for.

It carries the same “Airness” theme we talked about from the Jordan 1 and has many of the same materials. Cracked leather, snakeskin prints, a quilted sock liner with a silky smooth finish. Everything about this shoe is luxury.

But it’s also the Air Jordan 2. And not too many people out there are fans of the Air Jordan 2 — it’s not the highest-ranked Jordan sneaker on anyone’s list.

That’s beside the point with these joints here, though. No matter what they look like, this theme of “Airness” is what we need to discuss. It’s a theme about Blackness in sneaker culture and how sneaker culture is Black culture.

Yet, when you Google this shoe, all you see are videos and articles about how people would rock them or what they’re selling for on the resale market. The shoes are falling victim to the hype of the sneaker world and nobody is diving deep into it.

Well, except us. And you can check that out on the latest episode of Special Delivery.
