Video analysis of the 1987 NBA Slam Dunk Contest shows that Michael Jordan’s vertical was an astounding 42.6 inches; could he have gotten even higher with the aid of Air Max cushioning? The Air Jordan 2.0 won’t rewrite history but it is certainly a performance-oriented upgrade to one of the Air Jordan Legacy’s sleeper hits. This first colorway is the same as the one MJ wore during that February ’87 dunk-off vs. Dominique Wilkins, save the black misdole on the OG AJII being swapped for a Varsity Red 360-degree Max Air unit. Click through to see more shots of the first Air Jordan 2.0 colorway that’ll be hitting US retailers on June 4th and stick with Sneaker News in case they become available early. via Sneak-r
