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.

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.
