This is the original box for the Air Jordan II issued in 1987. It is a black box with a white and gray box top which has the “wings” logo overlapped to the sides. It also contains a sticker reading “Made In Italy” serving as a measure of quality because the original Air Jordan II was made of genuine Italian leather in Italy.
It’s become a global phenomenon, the likes of which we may never see again. The perfect team assembled from the start: the alpha player in Michael Jordan, a corporate maverick savvy enough to leverage the young star in Phil Knight, and an architect-turned-designer in Tinker Hatfield eager to redefine the industry with his problem-solving approach to footwear. It was a time when the sun, moon and Mars aligned, and the dominance that Michael Jordan displayed nightly as a young Chicago Bull captured the imagination of adoring fans across the globe. Chicago soon began to beat, repeat and three-peat against the competition, twice, and the innovation making its way out of Beaverton was unparalleled across the footwear industry, marking both aesthetic and athletic firsts, as both the legendary Air Jordan shoe and Michael’s playing career itself reached mythical status.
