The Jordan Delta 2 Receives Small Hits of “Lightning”

Although the Jordan Delta 2 isn’t too dissimilar from its direct predecessor, the new silhouette is seemingly less coy about its heritage.

Inherently, the newest Nike React-cushioned sneaker features overt design references to the Air Jordan 13. Launch colorways have delivered flair reminiscent of the Air Jordan 5 “Grape,” with the latest proposition employing the Air Jordan 4 “Lightning’s” color palette. Charcoal, white and light grey take over most of the mixed-materials upper, although a subdued yellow enters the mix across the suede paneling at the heel; right shoes feature a faint green. Synthetic reinforcement peeking out from underneath the forefoot overlay also indulges in the “Lightning”-like tone, but sole units forgo any yellow flair. Instead, the Nike React foam opts into an “aged” aesthetic accompanied by opaque white rubber at high-wear zones.
