There are some in-line products in the works as well, including re-issues of original colorways and this new Air Jordan 2 Low Responsibility that relays a positive and motivational message via a patch on the insole. The shoe has two Zoom Air pods in the forefoot and a supportive TPU plate running through the midsole. The Zoom Soldier was all about the overt straps over the midsole and on the heel. The Jordan 4 did not return to stores again until 1999, roughly one year after Michael Jordan's retirement from the Bulls. The latest iteration of the Air Force 1 NBA pack is highlighted by a satin heel and first-time-ever split Swoosh design. Cooper, equipped with a master's degree in social work, broke further color barriers in his hometown of Pittsburgh becoming the first African American director in the City of Pittsburgh government's history as the Director of Parks and Recreation and pushing affirmative action at the Pittsburgh National Bank as an urban affairs officer. Unauthorized mockups of the pair depicted the ninth signature model in the Air Jordan series with textured light grey panels around the upper's base and spine, while panels underneath reveled in a contrasting Black hue. Elsewhere, though, the dark green shade takes the stage, dyeing not just the overlays but also the lining and tread. Here, it seems to draw inspiration from the Brazil colorway, tweaking its arrangement ever-so-slightly for the Fall. A full-length cushion was encased in Phylon and placed above a carbon fiber mid foot shank.
