The Air Jordan 2 has got to be one of the most underrated sneakers to fall under the Jordan Brand umbrella. While everyone covets over its slightly older brother, the Air Jordan 1, the AJ2 is actually packed to the gills with history and heritage. In fact, we think that every sneakerhead should own at least one pair in their daily rotation, that's just how much we love them.

Making its grand debut back in 1987, the Jordan 2 was designed by the legendary Bruce Kilgore, the same man who also brought us the Air Force 1. Placing a huge emphasis on premium craftsmanship, the original pairs were actually crafted in Italy with a series of high quality fabrics and materials that gave each shoe a slick, sartorial aesthetic. Some people have even called them basketball brogues since they look so tailored. While this look might not be for everyone, there's no denying that they look pretty cool.

If you're brave enough to rock one of the most iconic hardcourt models in history then you've come to the right place, as we've compiled a handy size guide to help you find the ultimate fit. With feedback from The Sole Supplier team, we're here to answer all of your questions. Which shoe size should I get? Are they comfortable? Can I wear them everyday? If you are wondering any of these things then this is the Nike Air Jordan 2 size guide that you need to read right now!

Air Jordan 2 - How Do They Fit?

  • Fit: In general, the Air Jordan 2 fits perfectly true to size (TTS).
  • Comfort: The Jordan 2 features plush collars and a Nike Air midsole so it's very comfortable.
  • Care: Use a soft microfibre cloth and warm, soapy water to clean these Nikes.
  • Styling: The AJ2 is very versatile, so rock them with whatever you want.

“"In all honesty, the Air Jordan 2 is no doubt one of the most comfortable Nike sneakers in my collection."”

Adam - Head of News

How do they fit?

The Air Jordan 2 first caught my eye back in 2016 when Don C released the "Beach". Hands down my favourite colourway of all time, I knew I had to cop straight away. For me personally, the J2 fits like every other Jordan pair so true to size. I wouldn't go any higher or lower otherwise they won't fit as well.

Are they comfortable?

While I have never tried any of the OG Italian pairs, modern ones are crazy comfortable. The collars are made from this ultra plush material that gently embraces the ankle while providing ample support. In all honesty, the Air Jordan 2 is no doubt one of the most comfortable Nike sneakers in my collection.

How do you style them?

I love an oversized hoodie from Represent and cargo pant combo, and the AJ2 works perfectly with that no matter if you go for the high top or low top variant.

How do you clean them?

I think it's essential that you keep your Jordans crispy clean to retain that fresh-out-of-the-box look. To do this, I use a soft microfibre cloth and some warm, soapy water. On the spot I want to clean I would apply the cloth on it and go around in a circular motion. That works for me no matter the material.

“"If I could wear a sneaker down the aisle it would probably be the AJ2."”

Jack A - Content Writer

How do they fit?

Basically the Air Jordan 2 fits true to size. With that said, if you had particularly narrow feet there's no harm in going 0.5 down for that extra support.

Are they comfortable?

If I could, I would probably wear it every single day. If I could wear a sneaker down the aisle it would probably be the AJ2. The brogue-like design would work so well with my suit. I can imagine it already. In fact, I might actually do that with Virgil Abloh's Off-White x Air Jordan 2 Low that's dropping in autumn.

How do you style them?

I'm not usually into basketball fits but to be honest, this shoe works with pretty much any outfit you throw at it. It's really that versatile. A light Stone Island jacket, crisp white T-shirt, and some stonewashed denim jeans works a treat with these. Simple, but clean.

How do you clean them?

I've been using Jason Markk products for years now and they work for me every single time. I wouldn't use anything else so I would definitely recommend them. The Repel spray works wonders on the luxurious leather upper.

“"The premium materials make it feel like I've got a pair of clouds on-feet."”

Jack S - Content Writer

How do they fit?

I recommend going true to size (TTS) for the Air Jordan 2. I have a few pairs that I rock weekly including the Air Jordan 2 Retro "Wing It" that I consider to be one of my prized possessions.

Are they comfortable?

Two of my favourite hobbies are basketball and skating, and for both I always wear the AJ2. The premium materials make it feel like I've got a pair of clouds on-feet. Paired with a Nike Air midsole and you've got a winner.

How do you style them?

My favourite brand of all time is Cole Buxton. I just head out rocking a Cole Buxton hoodie and joggers, and a pair of Jordan 2s keeps the fit looking fresh.

How do you clean them?

To clean my pair, I use a sponge dipped in soap water and apply it very gently from left to right. As for the Air midsoles, I use an old toothbrush dipped into water mixed with stain removal liquid. It works for me every single time.
