SNEAKER REVIEW - AIR JORDAN II "SILVER ANNIVERSARY"
The Air Jordan 2 is definitely a polarizing model; although similar enough to later Jordans, it has a different look to it that seems to elicit a strong positive or negative response. I never really liked the II, but to me, the Silver Anniversary colorway suits the silhouette best and makes the shoe rockable.
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK HIGH "SHIMA SHIMA 2"
Here we have the second dunk in a series of Japan exclusives. This pair released in 2003 alongside an Air Max 1 and Trainer with the same colorway. Shima shima means "stripe stripe" in Japanese, which is represented on the interior of the shoe as well as on the tag lettering.
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK MID SB "TOKYO II"
I feel like I've reviewed nearly every dunk mid there is! However, there's one pair which I'm a little hesitant to wear without first confirming perfect weather conditions. That would be this limited 2008 release, the Tokyo II. This shoe bears a very similar colorway to the city series Tokyo low, except these are a mid and come with black hits instead of a gum sole. The shoe sold out quickly and as you can imagine is tough to find in good shape.
SNEAKER REVIEW - AIR PENNY 2 "MIAMI HEAT"
I have one other pair of these. I only like two colorways on the shoe because otherwise I'd have a lot more; the model itself is dope and very comfortable! This particular pair is a newer color scheme that released in 2008.
SNEAKER REVIEW - AIR TRAINER SC 2 "CITRON"
The original model of these trainers was sported by none other than multi-sport athlete Bo Jackson in the late 80's/early 90's. In 2011, we finally got retros with some new colors. These might not be on a lot of people's radars who want more true-to-the-original colorways, but the Air Max 95 Neon-type color scheme really suits this model.
A LOOK BACK - DUNK LOW "SMURF 2"
FINALLY, some sun! Even if it's overcast, I'll take that over flooding rains any day - it means I can break out the suede again! What better way to celebrate the turn in weather than with these all suede kicks featuring 3M on the upper rear and a gumsole? Also, I was inspired to switch up the laces to something a little funkier. Check out the pics below and my original review with details here.
SNEAKER REVIEW - PAUL RODRIGUEZ 2 "GUCCI"
Yet another black shoe with red and green accents, these were immediately dubbed the Gucci-rods due to the colorway. Since the value doesn't really escalate with P-Rod 2's, these might make a good substitute for your RESN'S if it's raining out!
AIR TECH CHALLENGE 2 "HOT LAVA"
Back in the 1990's, Nike sponsored athlete Andre Agassi was known for his skill in tennis as well as his mullet. While he would later shave the hair, his shoes would retain classic 1990's styling. These retros are very close in appearance to the originals of one of the models he sported back in the day, which personally remind me a bit of the Air Jordan IV. The shoes get their name from the official colorway.
AIR PENNY 2 "ORLANDO"
Yet another shoe in Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway's line with Nike, many had the original versions of these when they released in the 90s and this retro is of one of the original colorways based off the Orlando Magics basketball team colors. The most noticeable difference from the first release is the smaller air unit in the sole.

SNEAKER REVIEW - PAUL RODRIGUEZ 2 HIGH "JORDAN"
There were not many P-Rod 2 highs (3 that I can think of). However, this pair is pretty fresh and is one of the only PR2's that have elephant print. This combined with the colors on the shoe are very reminscent of color/material combos used on various early model Jordans.
SNEAKER REVIEW - PAUL RODRIGUEZ 2 "SUPREME"
One of Nike's key signature skaters, P-Rod has dropped several shoes in his line of sneakers. Here we have the second iteration, this particular release being the last P-Rod 2 ever produced. Though the II never really caught on with collectors, they are well known for extreme comfort and some pretty dope colorways.
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK HIGH "GLOW IN THE DARK 2"
The second in a series of dunk highs that glow in the dark, this pair wasn't as well received as the initial offering because of the various shades of green and odd patterning. However, every sneakerhead should own at least one pair that has some glow element, whether it be reflective 3M or actual glow in the dark material. Produced in 2005, availability is pretty limited nowadays on a clean pair of this shoe (not to mention most collectors are likely to wear their pairs at night, guaranteeing a quick road to beater status).
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK LOW "SMURF 2"
These are basically the retro of the all blue "smurf" pro b that released with a stuffed tongue and straps. The official colorway of the pro b's was "rapid/rapid", these are twilight blue/twilight blue but they look pretty much the same sans the stuffed tongue.
