Now, with the introduction of the Nike Adapt Huarache, those traits are augmented by Nike FitAdapt technology, an intelligent platform that updates and evolves along with the user. 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. There's a laundry list of luxurious details on this upcoming Jordan release, including the quilted interior lining, the glossy mudguard at the heel, the leather toe, and the suede sidewalls of the midsole. It debuted in 1996 and released throughout the 1996-1997 NBA season. The sneakers originally retailed for $135 and was designed by Tinker Hatfield. Soon, the Jumpman will offer a brand new take on the Air Jordan 1 Mid Tie-Dye, this time opting for a color blocking more reserved than its original counterpart. We don't want to release these OG colorways randomly, says Donald Kelsey, Jordan Brand Product Director, Global Retro Line.
