How long does it take you to get shoes on a little one who won't sit still? With the Air Jordan 23/7.2 EasyOn Pink Gaze Black (TD) the answer is: one move. The heel folds back, the foot slides in in one go and the heel counter snaps back into place on its own. It's the most practical Jordan out there for first steps, and on top of that it comes in a pink that's all over the feed.
The Air Jordan 23/7.2 EasyOn Pink Gaze Black (TD) are baby Jordan sneakers with a collapsible heel and a hook-and-loop strap: they go on hands-free and without a fight. They combine the brand's basketball DNA (low profile, side Jumpman, rubber outsole) with Nike's EasyOn system, designed to help kids get more independent when putting on their shoes.
What is Nike's EasyOn technology and why does it matter in a baby Jordan?
EasyOn was born from a very real everyday problem: getting shoes on a toddler is a daily battle. Nike's solution is a collapsible heel that folds back and springs back into shape on its own, with no need to hook a finger in or force the foot.
The interesting part is that the heel isn't soft. Across the EasyOn range the heel counter is described as firm, with a fold that happens at a specific point and in a specific direction: it bends to let the foot in, but holds once the foot is inside. On top of that, this pair adds a wide-opening hook-and-loop strap that adjusts the instep in one motion.
In practice: fewer morning meltdowns and a kid who, over time, puts their shoes on by themselves.
Air Jordan 23/7.2 EasyOn Pink Gaze Black (TD): materials and design details
The colorway plays two cards. Pink Gaze pink covers practically the whole upper, while black is saved for the contrast points: outsole, side Jumpman and strap. That split is what keeps it from looking babyish and gives it the feel of a real sneaker in miniature.
- Upper: flexible, lightweight textiles with mudguard-style overlays and toe protection — exactly where a crawling, foot-dragging toddler wears things out first
- Closure: hinged EasyOn collapsible heel + wide-opening hook-and-loop strap
- Midsole: lightweight foam, cushioned but not heavy
- Outsole: rubber with a multidirectional pattern for traction indoors and outdoors
- Branding: Jumpman on the side and on the tongue, style code HF3414-602
The detail you'll appreciate most day to day is the reinforced toe. At this age, 90% of the wear on a shoe happens right there.
How do the Jordan 23/7.2 EasyOn fit? Quick size guide
The consensus across Nike's EasyOn range is clear: they fit true to size. Nike describes the fit of the 23/7.2 as "true to size", and independent tests of EasyOn models agree there's no need to go up or down a size.
The (TD) label refers to baby and toddler sizing, the 0–3 years range in the Jordan catalog. A couple of tips to get it right the first time:
Fit tips
Measure the bare foot and add a growth margin of about half a centimeter — at this age feet change fast and a snug sneaker gets too small within weeks.
If your little one has a high instep, the hook-and-loop strap works in your favor: because it opens so wide, the interior volume adapts better than a traditional lace-up closure.
Reviews: are the Air Jordan 23/7.2 EasyOn Pink Gaze Black (TD) worth it?
The 23/7.2 EasyOn racks up very high ratings among parents — at one of the big US retailers it averages 4.8 out of 5 from 30 reviews, most of them five stars. The praise keeps coming back to the same things: how easy they are to put on and the fact that kids end up doing it themselves.
The other point that comes up is the balance of the heel: it gives enough to let the foot in, but doesn't get crushed with wear. That's the detail that separates a well-executed EasyOn sneaker from a simple slip-on that falls off when running.
What's worth knowing: it's a miniature basketball silhouette, not a running shoe. Structure and grip, yes; running-level cushioning isn't its thing.
How to style the pink Jordan 23/7.2 EasyOn?
Pink and black is much more versatile than it looks, because the black acts as a neutral and anchors the look. Three combos that work without thinking:
- Black leggings + oversize sweatshirt: the pink becomes the only pop of color, super clean in photos
- Light denim + white T-shirt: the classic that never fails, with the sneakers taking the lead
- Heather grey tracksuit: the grey softens the pink and the black outsole ties the outfit together
Check the available sizes for this model before planning the look: the Pink Gaze pink is flying off the shelves.
