Jordan 2's

The original shoes came in the white red colorway, but the would release three more colorways in 1997. The Jordan 2's sold just as much as the Jordan 1's, but they became decreasingly popular over the years while the Jordan 1's have seem to do the opposite. -

Like the Jordan 2's, the Jordan 3's had a very successful release and are still one of the most popular Air Jordan's ever.The shoes would originally sell for the price of $100 USD.

Jordan 6's
The Jordan 6's were one of the most remarkable Jordan shoes. The shoes were worn by Jordan on his first NBA championship victory which gave the shoes even more hype than what it started with.

Jordan 7's
When Hadfield was in Portland,he came across African art on a poster which featured a man playing a guitar that was shaped like Africa. It must've just been a giant coincidence that he was getting ready to design the 7's when he came across this.Jordan told Hadfield before that he wanted the shoe to "stay young and interested". Hadfield bought the poster and decided to use it as inspiration. The shoes were sold at $125 USD and came in five colorways. -
Jordan 8's
The Air Jordan 8's were the first shoes to not feature a Nike logo. Nike didn't really like the idea of it it after a lot of convincing the idea finally went through.

Jordan 9's
Air Jordan 9's were inspired by Japanese design and culture. The shoes originally sold for $125. If you look around the soles of the shoes, you will see words in foreign languages. For example, you will see the word "Cвобода" on the left side of the shoe which means "Freedom" in Russian.
