No black leather in Italy?
The Air Jordan II was designed by Bruce Kilgore and just as its predecessor it showed a great innovative design. The low-tops were very stylish, produced in Italy and were far from the ordinary basketball shoe.

Surprisingly this is the only Air Jordan ever that has not been made in a black version. There were sketches and prototypes of a black leather AJ II but it never became reality. Why? ...noone knows...
