Air Jordan 2 “Knicks” Releases Summer 2027
What to know
ClosetKept AI- Air Jordan 2 'Knicks' releasing June 9, 2027 via Jordan Brand retailers and Nike SNKRS.
- Phantom base with Orange and Blue colorway inspired by New York Knicks.
- Designed by Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore; original 1986 model.
- Current images are mockups; exact details may change before release.
- Part of Jordan Brand's post-2026 NBA championship tribute collection for Knicks.
Jordan Brand is bringing Knicks colors to the Air Jordan 2 for a rumored release timed to the summer of 2027. Early reports describe a Phantom base finished with Orange and Blue accents pulled from New York’s home team, with a target release date of June 9, 2027 through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike SNKRS.
The pair continues Jordan Brand’s recent push into New York basketball. The Knicks are coming off winning the NBA championship in the 2025 to 2026 season, and more team tied product is already on the way, including a returning Air Jordan 10 “Knicks” and a Knicks colorway of Carmelo Anthony’s Jordan 5.5. JustFreshKicks previously covered the Air Jordan 8 “Knicks”, part of the same run of New York tributes, and will keep tracking new additions on its release dates hub.
The Air Jordan 2 “Knicks” Design
The original Air Jordan 2 dates back to 1986, when Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore designed a shoe that broke sharply from the debut Air Jordan 1 in both look and price. The higher cost and unfamiliar shape kept it out of the spotlight at first, but the model has since built a steady following among collectors chasing its early colorways.
Images of the Air Jordan 2 “Knicks” shown so far are mockups rather than finished product shots, so exact details could still change before release. The Orange and Blue color blocking over the Phantom base is expected to hold, and reports suggest the pair could carry a “New York” nickname instead of a direct Knicks callout, though that name has not been confirmed.
Why Is Jordan Brand Releasing So Many Knicks Colorways in 2027?
