First released in 1996, the Nike Air Jordan 12 is a classic pair of sneakers — especially since they’re the shoes Michael Jordan wore when the Chicago Bulls won their fourth championship after MJ returned to the NBA (for the first time). And now, Nike has re-released the sneakers for a new generation.
Available for $200 on Nike.com, the Nike Air Jordan 12 Retro “black and wolf grey” sneakers are lightweight and made for playing basketball on a hardwood or blacktop court with their pronounced textured lines and classic silhouette.
The new sneakers drop on Saturday, Sept. 28, at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT.
The uppers are made from a blend of high-quality leathers for toughness and form, while it has a strip of textured elephant print leather running around their toe caps. The top two lace loops even have clasps for security, support and style with a bit of flair.
Additionally, the sneakers feature a “Jumpman” logo on each tongue, as well as at the top of each heel with Jordan’s name in the middle and his No. 23 at the bottom.
The design and silhouette are classic, while the style of the sneakers are very mid-’90s basketball — one of MJ’s most iconic shoes and eras returning to the NBA (for the first time). These Nike sneakers come in a black, white and wolf grey colorway.
