Originally released in 1996, the Nike Air Jordan 12 sneakers are an iconic pair. These were the shoes Michael Jordan wore when he won his fourth championship with Chicago Bulls after returning to the NBA a season prior. Nike re-released the sneakers for a new generation in a new colorway.
Available for $200 on Nike.com, the Nike Air Jordan 12 Retro “White & Game Royal” sneakers — which were made by shoe designer Tinker Hatfield — are lightweight, comfortable and made for the basketball on the court with their characteristically strong lines and classic silhouette.
The new sneakers drop on Wednesday, Dec. 18, at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT.
The uppers are design with a mix of high-quality leathers for durability and shape, while it has a strip of textured game royal leather running around their toe caps. The top two lace loops even have clasps for extra support, security and style with a bit of panache.
In addition, the sneakers feature Jordan’s “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.
