The Air Jordan 12 Retro Royalty adds gilded accents to a two-tone design reminiscent of the OG Taxi colorway from 1996. The mid-top makes use of a white tumbled leather upper with radiating stitch detailing and black lizard-textured overlays. Contrasting pops of metallic gold land on the molded top eyelets, midfoot TPU piece and the Jumpman and Two 3 branding embroidered atop the tongue. Responsive cushioning comes courtesy of a full-length Zoom Air unit. Underfoot, the outsole features rubber herringbone traction pods and a carbon fiber spring plate.
