Air Jordan II Premio "Bin 23" - Dark Cinder/Black (GROWN MAN STEEZ)
I'm not a huge fan of the Air Jordan II but these are hot as shit! The shoe always reminded me a little bit of a boot anyway so it makes sense to create a new version with dark premium leather. It's no longer a sneaker but a casual/dress shoe with these materials. The premium leather uppers are matched with waxed cotton laces, and the extras include cedar shoe trees and a cotton travel bag. That's hot.
These would be perfect for anyone working in an office where you can't necessarily pull of sneakers but want to have that comfort level. If you rocked these with a pair of khakis and button down, no one would even question your shoe selection. Most likely, they'd ask you were you got them so they could get a pair too.
These are definitely made for the older Jordan heads like myself that want to be able to rock a pair of Jordans but still look professional and presentable when going to work or out to dinner. Jordan Brand released a similar style with the Jordan Spizike Winterized Boot late last year so hopefully it's something they will continue in the future. I definitely think there is an audience for this type of shoe from Jordan Brand.
I've already seen a few pairs of the Air Jordan II Premio going for almost $300 at Sneakersnstuff.com so I assume retail will be in that range. Good luck finding a pair though because they are expected to be on a limited run.
