Honesty hour. Outside of a classic Air Jordan 1 - the Air Jordan 12 has pulled on my heart strings just as much. The silhouette originally made it's debut in the mid to late 90s with only a handful of colorways. It could be the bold, distinctive design of the AJ12 that makes it a head turner, or maybe because it set a tone with the first Jordan to utilize Zoom Air tech. Regardless of how it's been remastered over the years, it's always a beautiful sneaker.

The latest Air Jordan 12 (dubbed 'FIBA') pays homage to the globalization of the game. The upper features a clean, white leather with red accents on the outsole, tongue, heel tab, and inner lining. Gold detailing adds a special touch hinting on the common goal of obtaining the GOLD in sport. Chinese lettering on the heel adds to the global messaging while subtly speaking to how Jordan has really transcended the game as well.

Good news - this Air Jordan 12 is set to release in full family sizing. Basically, the small feet tribe can rejoice. If you’re feeling this fresh pair, you can SHOP THE SNEAKS below on 8/23 for $140 USD (Grade School).
