The Jordan Retro 12 is a retroed version of the shoe MJ wore when he took home his fifth league title. Released in some of the hottest color combinations, the Air Jordan 12 became an instant icon. It was the first Air Jordan to be released under the Jordan brand after it officially became a Nike subsidiary. MJ had tons of historic moments in the shoe, including the legendary Flu Game vs. Utah in the 1997 finals. The Retro 12 has since become an off-court staple, offering a luxury look with premium materials. Few shoes can compete with the legendary look and historic significance of the iconic Jordan Retro 12, so lace up your piece of history. Anodized TPU eyelets.
