Hybrid models have long been a divisive commodity in the sneakers community, but perhaps we’re on the verge of a paradigm shift. The genuinely rosy reaction to the Spizike Low and the sustained push surrounding the Air Jordan 4 RM may signal warmer consumer sentiments, a development that’d be welcome news for the Air Jordan 2/3. First hitting the market at the start of summer, the silhouette checks in once again with its latest “Orchid” look.

On tap is another take on the white-dominant color-blocking that’s defined the model throughout its run so far, executed with white/gum, “Cement Grey” and white/black looks. Of course, flowery lilac is the choice of accent shade here, cropping up primarily as trim, while an off-white sole injects some vintage sensibility underfoot.

Zooming out, it’s notable that Jordan Brand has opted to chiefly trot out novel colorways on the Air Jordan 2/3, bucking the trend of vaunted outfits seen on the aforementioned Spizike Low or on models like the Stadium 90. Instead of revisiting iconic Bulls or Fire Red adornments, instead Beaverton creatives are allowing the new proposition to establish its own lane in earnest.

The Air Jordan 2/3 is expected for a Fall/Winter release, retailing at $150 in women’s sizing. Check the gallery just ahead for a closer look at this pair and have our Jordan Release Dates hub within reach for further launch details.
