Following up on the Air Jordan II Derek Anderson ‘Home’ PE is this pair that he packed for road games, another Air Jordan II Low featuring the same personal touches.

Derek Anderson hung up his jersey a couple of years back but his Air Jordan PE legacy still lives on, a couple more pairs from his respectable collection recently popping up. One of them is the Air Jordan II Low shown here, a pair produced in 2004 that was presumably intended for wear as a home pair during his Portland Trail Blazers days. The sneakers sport the ‘Loyal 1′ embroidery, a common detail in Anderson’s pairs, and a white/black/red combo that’s not too far off from the original Air Jordan II fare. Click through for all the photos and pick up this Air Jordan II Low Derek Anderson PE now from dependablejay on eBay.

AIR JORDAN LOW WEEK PART 2
It’s not a widely known fact that the Air Jordan Low actually began when the Air Jordan started. The Air Jordan II was also an original pioneer of the low-top, but from III up until the XI the low-top didn’t return – and it’s no coincidence that the AJ3 is when Tinker Hatfield took over. The Air Jordan II with its Italian boot inspiration exudes the most ‘dress shoe’ impression among all the Air Jordans in history, with the croc-skin upper, perforations, and sleek piping along the upper. A low-top seemed fitting for the model, and thus the Air Jordan II Low happened rather seamlessly and its clear that the transition from Mid to Low was rather easy. This 2004 release introduced a new color scheme to the restricted Air Jordan II, bringing some Tar Heel flavor with the Midnight Navy/University Blue colorway. At $100, this Air Jordan Retro Low was rather popular during its initial release in late 2004, and like many of the Air Jordans from the pre-2005 era, is tough to find in deadstock condition. Your thoughts on our Classics Revisited selection for the night?

Our last ‘Was It The Shoes?’ feature focused on one of Michael’s most embarrassing moments – when he clunked a wide-open slam-dunk during the first quarter of the 2002 NBA All-Star Game. But as we know, it’s the failures that drives Michael to succeed (one of the most humbling Air Jordan advertisements that humanized Jordan to the very core), but we’re taking it back to one of Michael Jordan’s earliest successes in the NBA – his first Slam Dunk Title. Continue on to re-live the story of Michael Jordan’s first NBA Dunk Contest victory and you tell us: Was It The Shoes?

Continuing our spotlight on Air Jordan Player Exclusives is the model that is perhaps the most conducive to ‘personalization’. The Air Jordan II has a luxurious yet simple build, allowing for the a splash of colors to alter the shoe’s appearance by adding custom lettering on the upper and changing the solid coloring of the inner lining and midsole without taking away the heart of the design. Players like Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Carmelo Anthony, and many more are included in this multi-page feature of Air Jordan II PEs, so flip through the gallery and let us know which NBA player owned the best Air Jordan II PE of all-time!
