Heritage, history, and nostalgia define what Jordan brand means to so many of us and this sneaker captures that perfectly. The aged, crumbling sole, the dream of getting MJ's signature on the side, the classic packaging with its own Off-White spin...that's design work right there. And maybe the most amazing thing about it is the way that it brought interest back to the always under appreciated Jordan 2. Virgil's last gift to us was reviving one of the classics. He will truly be missed.

[@GHOSTJERKER]

My friend got these hightops back in 87, balled all year in them, then in 88 he was mowing the lawn in them. In the end these look like those lol.

[@DamianVega00]

Lmao good to see you ghost

[@thereasonwhy5188]

Good shoes for grass cutting

[@flightschoolcustomfootwear]

I hit on these for my 1st ever Off White W on SNKRS and the fact that this is the last shoe Virgil will ever do, I will never ever get rid of them. I love them. I'm wearing them for my wedding this Sunday!

[@remkickz9697]

You know there's more Off White shoes that are supposed to be released plus the LV AF1s that Virgil designed right? Congrats on the W though

[@flightschoolcustomfootwear]

@@remkickz9697 I didnt know that but I hope they do. I appreciate you letting me know. I'm glad to hear that.

Honestly the only Off-Whites that I ever was like, "I need those!". Definitely might get em at some point. R.I.P. VA!

yea..u trippin...

[@wallcity318]

Bro i wanted these so damn bad

[@ManCave1972]

I really wanted that red and white pair, and I love the ‘crumbled’ midsole. This is the only Off White I ever liked, but sadly struck out on SNKRS and so that’s that, because the aftermarket prices are insane. A lovely job. Rest in Peace VA

[@stefanurquelle7736]

Go UA my man

[@hittintrees]

The crumbled mid-sole is probably the most hideous thing i have seen on a shoe yet. I can absolutely not comprehend how that could be something cool.

[@ManCave1972]

@@hittintrees Different strokes for different folks.

[@ODSTxGundam]

The crumble part is the only reason I didn't get them, like I like the rest pf the shoe so much but that part ruined it for me.

Get in on some of these holiday giveaways at weartesters.com/join. Now... what do y'all think of these Off-White Air Jordan 2 Lows??? Let us know down below. Have a good one!

[@4035darryl]

The original 2's did have a full length air unit, I'm an old head that played in them back in the day. I actually cut mine in half after I wore them out.

[@criquer71]

Man, if I'm not mistaken, the last time I saw a video of you was in 2014, as you have aged, you are the best at this!

[@craigchan737]

great review! love these, really wish i could’ve gotten them. as for the off white zip tie, it started on the clothes, meant to mimic a store security tag and you were supposed to cut it off. so i’m guessing he just carried it over to the sneakers cause it became a signature of the brand

[@hov164]

Kinda, the zip ties are supposed to be like the the Tags on artwork you see in museum

[@design4thought]

Was able to hit on the black pair. Leather is amazing. Love all the touches and packaging. I wonder if they come in individual zip lock bags because collectors like to preserve them from crumbling over time? Wish I had the white pair. Virgil was big on museums and art objects as artifacts, so the aesthetic makes sense. What a great last gift to the world. "Virgil was here." 🙏🏾

[@kingwilliamiii8897]

FINALLY!!! The review I've been waiting to see! Thank you Sir 🙏🏼

[@certifiedsneaker]

I just picked these up to complete the set and had to come back to watch your review...these are art to me and im a huge fan of 2 lows...been searching for a d.s pair since they released and in 2024 the market down abit i got em

[@imgermgaming2617]

I can’t wait for more 2s they are so dope

[@boshmatroz]

ok, that is the best "Since..." hoodie so far, freaking amazing

[@CDGA]

I was able to get a pair for a reasonable price days before Virgil’s passing. finally wore them yesterday and they are definitely an amazing sneaker 🙏🏼

[@jakejake909]

Twos are underrated obviously, and these are no exception. Seeing that toy story claw machine scene reminded me of the new buzz light year movie that is coming out, I randomly seen a commercial for it recently

[@itsthe773guero5]

i got 2 pairs of og 2s and that crumbling started literally after the first month i rocked em....i agree w you kris the look of the crumbling midsole straight makes me shiver

[@AnthonyHernandez-je1tx]

I’m so sad that I probably won’t ever get to own this shoe. RIP Virgil

[@Stiirfrii]

The detail of them coming bagged as if they’re a crumbling mid sole. Best off white x Jordan sneaker.

[@juwanlamoree7567]

RIP VIRGIL Jordan two very very underrated shoe. Love the OG and the candy pack.

[@Angie_Onaleta]

You know Chris is excited about a show when he drops multiple "dude's" in a video. 🤣

[@jcabrera8425]

Man 2s hold a special place in my heart 1 because when I was very young before getting into shoes and ball I saw my cousins uncle once and he was wearing the original white and red with black 2s and I just loved them and also because around early 2000 when the low top came out in the white and blue color way I saw my brother in law with them and at this point I was already in middle school and knew a little bit about shoes but also knew what Jordan was because that was the shoe to have anything Jordan lol and I asked my mom to take me to the mall and even thoo she said ok but we not buying anything and I agreed y’all know that shit was a lie and in my head I was getting them no matter what and of course at first she said no until I started crying and turned into a sad brat because I knew she would give in and she ended up getting them for me but man I just loved them so much. Before y’all kill me I am glad to say I am. O,longer a brat or ask my mom for things. Lol. I am 29 about to turn 30. Lol ✌️. Happy to hear this will be year of 2s and looking forward to it.

[@mrcorleone4]

I got the black ones and I love how he made it comfortable around the heel and ankle

I’m starting to agree with Brad Hall- the older I get, the more I like the Jordan 2.

[@petkokrushev3840]

Brad is a legend

[@JundamRX782]

Ima big fan of the Jordan 2. It’s Not too flashy just perfect imo.

[@Saucelight88]

I always prefer OG colorways But in this case the black and blue pair are 🔥🔥🔥

[@BTNH_NiNJA]

2’s are so comfy and never have I thought low silhouettes were better than the high until these came out 😮‍💨

[@InZaneKicks]

How Virgil went about this release is absolutely incredible and kudos to him in every way.I am a staunch supporter of wanting things to be as close to OG as humanly possible but his take on this model was amazing. That A-hole Caesar was such an idiot in the way he went about things and then to try to backtrack after Virgil's passing further shows what a clown he is. RIP Virgil

[@sneakerhead4770]

Who’s Caesar

[@roborat]

@@sneakerhead4770 same question

[@selfawaredrew]

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think they boo boo. Happy for you if you like them tho, even happier if you got a pair! Each to their own.

They are beautiful in hand I’m luck to have the Chicago pair in my collection 🔥

[@carltubice3964]

The white ones is 🔥🔥🔥

[@juanantonio5319]

What a great video, finally seeing someone genuinely excited for 2's for all the right reasons. I do wonder though, since the molds to the original 1986 AJ2 were lost/destroyed, and they had to rebuild them from scratch, is there a chance that they just based them off of an existing pair of AJ3s? I feel as if the "silhouette" for retro 2's and retro 3's are exactly the same, and that's how we ended up with a boxy toebox for the 2 as well as the missing eyelets before they started getting them right. Of course, this was prior to 3D printing and computer scanning, so that's my theory on how the retro 2 ended up looking so different than the original pair over time.

[@worksbykeyes]

The point behind the zip ties and also off-white as a brand is to use simple, well known things as branding. The diagonal lines are even more recognizable than a monogram, but no one ever used it before. Virgil used the zip-tie the same way because he wanted a basic item that anyone can use to easily distinguish his brand.

[@gerardocampo6010]

Virgil made a hideous shoe into a marvelous looking shoe. RIP VIRGIL!

[@WearTesters]

[@pmjc07]

Man, I hella wanted a pair. I tried for both cws. Caught an L on both cws. 🙍🏻‍♂️ Man, I’m hella 😊😁 for 2’s to re-release in remastered form. I’m hella ready for a remastered pair of Chicago 2’s! YEE! 😊😁

Had to give you a thumbs up for the Jordan signature fun fact. Awesome stuff Keep up the great work!!

[@kodiakidk]

I wish they would’ve done the Melo PE instead of the Black/Blue color way, but still a nice shoe RIP VA I wish more 2s got re-released, they get slept on hard, but hopefully these and the Union 2s will help with that

[@I_am_kxng_rod]

Heads up, These have the same tech-specs as the Retro AJII (Full-length Air Sole Unit).

[@ozboi83]

Man, I remember seeing ALOT of people aging they weren’t feeling this at first… how the table turns….

[@shayp3kicks]

2-3 🤯 M in the signature!!! What!!!! Wow!!!!

[@TheMancunianCandidate]

I hit on the black pair and they are 🔥 a proper premium release. Cost me close to £300 but they're worth it. Now I need the white pair. 🙏

[@ChrisGabeEnd02]

The black pair’s signature is to signify change and that if MJ was to sign another pair it wouldn’t be on the same spot as the Chicago colorway

[@ronaldvangulden7314]

Really lucky I got a W on the black cw at the Dutch Oqium store. Can't believe my luck! I'm not a big fan of all black sneakers but from the two cw's I like the black one the best. Normally tend to like og colorways better but as the black pair might have been what Virgil liked best colorwise(as he was probably free to put any color on these as he pleased) makes them extra special in my opinion.

[@xote316]

I like the concept of these but I don't like lows. The midsole is the most interesting part and I would have loved to see a pair of 7s with similar treatment, semi transparent ripstop materials like the 5s on the side panels, and the extra lacing system from the dunks- all tied up in an aged Cardinal colorway. Hope people who got these enjoy them. They're interesting, even if they're not fully my cup of tea.

[@russellgray1917]

I love 2's, but I'm not feeling these. I love Virgil's concept, but I don't think that I would get a pair. Probably because of the midsole, I just don't like it that it looks like the shoe is falling apart. Anyway, great video, as always!

[@NotKurt7]

WOAH. WAS NOT EXPECTING THESE FROM YALL!

[@tomyates2551]

I’m not really a fan of the 2, I do think the white is quite cool. But, the photos of what Union have done with the 2!? (the “fog grey”, apparently/hopefully coming next year) is unbelievable, like, wow.

[@mildmanneredcomicnerd8849]

The zip tie that goes with every Nike Off White was a personal touch of Virgil… The brand made a video for this particular item; and it says Leave it alone 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sherronthejedi]

4:48 heavy zip ties with a tag label 🏷 are often used in factories when something is shipped marked with the date and often a serial code so the 0ackage can get scanned

[@dreagle1fly]

I paid just under 4 for the black pair, before VA passed away. Str8 to the toe! I definitely have a soft spot for vintage J's so the white pair is dope but at them prices I gotta look at em from a far

[@mjo23dan]

I was hoping to hear more thoughts on the midsole because they used a TPU carrier that is hard as shit and how that felt on feet for you. It reminds me of the AJ 23. This one they seem to have injected foam which fills in the cracked look. I dig that. I wonder if over time when the foam cracks, it'll crack at those stress points haha.

[@WearTesters]

We cut it for time but it’s exactly as you described. They’re not comfortable at all, but they’re beautiful.

[@variandavid377]

I’m not a fan of the AJ 2 is general…because of the hi btuI do appreciate the lows and those look amazing!! I used to “forge” MJ’s signature all over the place when I was a kid…on my textbooks, bags, even the 23 socks back in the day because I didn’t want the signature to fade/ peel off from washing. LOL!!!!!!!

[@erikcamacho1]

I actually like that hat

[@WearTesters]

[@thefakechris]

They explained reason for the 2 different signatures, if Jordan were just quickly signing this for a fan after a game, it probably wouldn’t look exactly the same twice

First of all, knowing that they are going to release the Jordan 2 next year is great. Just with that, they are going to be top of the list to get and only will be topped by the columbia 11s If JB decides to release them next year (lets hope...). On to the off white ones, I don't like the black and royal but I like the white and red. I really like the concept and the only think that I dislike is all the off white branding text.

[@xHUSTLER4LIFEx]

I hope the remastered 2 wont have that red piping stripe on the side panels, the OG High black/red/white did NOT have the striping but....ALL THE RETROS DID.

I sold two pairs to buy these at around 650 and bid was accepted. I waited a week and they didn’t ship and sadly Virgil passed. My order was suddenly cancelled and they were listed for double. I was bummed but what do expect from resellers? Extra money around the holidays isn’t bad I guess but selling two pairs and not getting the item I sold them for is tough.
