The Air Jordan 2/3 “Knicks” Sample has surfaced, giving fans a look at what might have been the cleanest version yet. The Jordan 2/3 hybrid hasn’t gained much traction compared to other recent mash-ups like the Spiz’ike Low or Jordan 4 RM. Only four colorways have released in 2025 so far, most hitting discounts within weeks. This Knicks-inspired sample, originally targeted for Spring 2025, feels like it could have shifted that story.
The pair features a low-cut Air Jordan 2 upper dressed in white leather, detailed with orange piping and bold blue lining. Underfoot, the Jordan 3 sole unit appears in Sail, accented by blue around the heel for contrast. Knicks colors on Jordans always bring mixed feelings. New Yorkers remember the ’90s battles with Michael Jordan, when the Bulls repeatedly crushed the Knicks’ playoff hopes. Some die-hard Knicks fans even avoided Jordans altogether, instead rocking Patrick Ewing’s own line.
Still, there’s no denying that a Knicks colorway always sparks attention in New York City. The look carries both nostalgia and irony, making this unreleased hybrid one of the more interesting samples from Jordan Brand in recent years.
Whether the Jordan 2/3 Knicks ever sees a drop remains uncertain. Reports point to a planned Spring 2025 release, but it never made it past the sample stage. Collectors will be watching closely in case Jordan Brand decides to revisit the design.
The Air Jordan 2/3 “Knicks” Sample is not confirmed for release. Stay tuned for updates if retail plans change.
