The Air Jordan 2 “Knicks” will be released on June 9, 2027. Celebrating the New York Knicks and the state’s connection to sneaker culture, the shoes will feature a new color scheme.
Jordan Brand has been showing a lot of love to the New York Knicks lately. It makes sense as the sneaker community is strong in the state, but more importantly, the Knicks won the 2025-26 NBA championship. Following the news that the “Knicks” Air Jordan 10 is returning, the brand will also debut the “Knicks” Air Jordan 2. Furthermore, a similar colorway of Carmelo Anthony’s Jordan 5.5 will debut around the same time.
The Air Jordan 2 was originally released in 1986 and designed by Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore. The model didn’t live up to the success of the Air Jordan 1. This could have been for several reasons, including the higher retail price or the design. However, over the years, the model has gained a following, and the original colorways are among the most sought-after.
According to the color description, this Air Jordan 2 features a Phantom and Multi-Color color combination. According to our sources, the pair will be a tribute to the Knicks and will be labeled “New York.” While the image used is a mock-up and what releases may differ, the pair will have Orange and Blue accents.
