Jordan 2.5 - Ray Allen
Posted by: Laughing Monkey
December 22nd, 2008
We’ve already seen several colorways of the Jordan 2.5, but here’s one dedicated to Ray Allen. Available 12/27, you can pick up a pair at any of the three House of Hoops locations (NY, CHI, or LA). Although the 2.5 isn’t a retro, one would say it’s a fusion of the Jordan II and III. The overall structure of the 2.5 is comparable to the Jordan II, while you’ll notice similar features taken from the Jordan III. One prominent feature is the elephant print, with its fame originating from the retro III. Additional Jordan III inspired features include the air bubble in the sole, lace holders, rubber on the upper heel, and location of the elephant print. You’ll also find patent reptile print on the toe box, running above the mid sole, along the side of the shoe. Check out more store shots below.

[...] Ray Allen is one of the luckiest athletes in the NBA due to the fact that he is sponsored by Jordan Brand and never has to worry about not looking fresh on the courts. We have seen him in multiple Air Jordan player exclusives including the Air Jordan 11 (XI)  - Ray Allen PE and the Air Jordan 23 (XX3) - Ray Allen PE. This time, Ray Allen has a player exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 2.5 which features the typical Boston Celtics’ white/green color scheme.
