Jordan Brand Release remains anticipated for August 3 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a price of $180 USD. For more info about the pair, be sure to review our initial story below.

Jordan replicas are counterfeit or fake versions of Nike Air Jordan sneakers that are designed to look like the real thing. They are often produced in countries where labor is cheap and regulations on counterfeit products are not as strict.

The AJ II shared a silhouette with the Nike Air Python that released in 1987, including a faux lizard skin upper and swooping lines that resembled those of a sports car (which would factor prominently into the Jordan line in years to come).
