Air Jordan 12

This shoe's aesthetics are also on point. The pebbled leather, quilted panels and speed hooks of the upper give the AJ 12 a truly distinctive look. In terms of performance, this shoe did not shy away from innovative technology. New materials like Zoom Air cushioning were added to improve comfort and function. The sole was also re-worked to add texture and improve traction on the court. The Air Jordan 12 became a legendary athletic shoe when Michael Jordan, sick with the flu, scored 38 points in the 1997 NBA Finals while wearing the sneakers. Style-wise, the Jordan 12 has had collaborations with brands like OVO and PSNY. In 2019, the Jordan 12 Retro FIBA in White/University Red-Metallic Gold was released. This shoe is a refined celebration of the amateur World Cup of basketball. That same year, the boldly colorblocked Jordan 12 Retro Black Game Royal was also released.
