The AJ II introduced better cushioning with a polyurethane midsole and a full-length encapsulated Nike Air capsule for maximum comfort. This design aesthetic would factor into the Air Jordan line later in the series.
The AJ II featured a faux lizard skin and swooping lines that resembled the detailing of a sports car. The shoe bore a similar silhouette to the Nike Air Python that would release the following year. The Air Jordan II featured a full-length Air-Sole unit intended to cushion's MJ's sore feet. In early tests, MJ actually wore a prototype that fused the upper of the original Air Jordan with the cushioning being designed for the new model. Designed by Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore, the Air Jordan II was unique in that it was made in Italy. The success of the Air Jordan I encouraged Nike to release a new Air Jordan in 1986 for the new basketball season.
