Jordan Ultra Fly 2 Releasing In “Royal”

In need of a new hoops shoe this summer? You might want to consider the coming Jordan Ultra Fly 2 based on its unique Air Jordan 15 retro-inspired design, the bold traction pattern hidden underneath, and Nike’s Zoom Air in the midsole. By the looks of things, you’d never guess that it was related to its alien-like precursor in the original Jordan Ultra Fly, and we’re definitely happy that the brand took things an entirely different route and ditched the Kurim overlay system.

This silhouette might not be for everyone, but we’re definitely fans of Jordan Brand experimenting with new aesthetics when it comes to their performance models. The tongue that juts out is reminiscent of the Jordan 15 that just saw a recent retro itself (with its own controversy given the lack of Zoom Air in the forefoot despite what was advertised on Nike.com) while the woven pattern seen on the first all-white colorway is a bit camouflaged based on the Jordan 1 Royal inspiration here.

Check out more detailed shots of the retro-inspired Jordan Ultra Fly 2 below and be on the lookout for this model to debut on Nike.com come April 2017.
