Reptilian Hoop Kicks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Air Jordan 2.0 Brings the Wild Side to Basketball Footwear

— July 22, 2011 — Fashion
One of the most impressive sneakers to come from the Jordan Brand is the Air Jordan 2.0.

This model is the second colorway of this particular shoe that's set to be released in the coming months. The high tops have a single-tone black colorway accented by red eyelets, midsole trim and a green logo embedded on the tongue. The best feature for these hoop kicks is the leather, reptilian-pattern cut out that you see on the side of the upper. It brings a bit of sophistication and class to the sneaker that really ties everything together beautifully. The contrasting perforated suede makes a nice addition to an already stylish shoe.

The Air Jordan 2.0 is a classic from the Jordan Brand that stays with a familiar design with an exotic twist.

1. Exotic Sneaker Designs - There is an opportunity for sneaker brands to create innovative and eye-catching designs using exotic patterns and materials.

3. High-top Basketball Footwear - A trend in basketball footwear towards high-top designs offers a chance for industry players to create supportive and stylish shoes for athletes.
