Air Jordan 2 "Black Cement"

Thanks to the Instagram sneaker insides @zsneakerheadz and @sneakerfiles, we now know about a new Jordan 2 model. This offering is called "Black Cement." Of course, it is inspired by the iconic Air Jordan 3 version of the exact same name. Needless to say, fans will be very intrigued by these.

In the photoshop rendering down below, you can see how the shoe begins with a black leather base. Additionally, the shoe has grey cement on the back heel, tongue, and even the outsole. White is placed on the midsole, while red can be found throughout. This adds a pop of color that harkens back to the OG AJ3.

Overall, this is definitely a colorway that fans are going to love. The "Black Cement" aesthetic is iconic within Jordan Brand lore, and whenever it gets transplanted somewhere else, it becomes a huge success.
