Jordan Retro 12

Inspired by two very unique items - the Japanese "Rising Sun" and a 19th century women's dress boot - the Nike Air Jordan Retro 12 delivered a standout look when it hit the scene in 1996. Taking center stage during the 1996-1997 NBA finals, the Retro 12 shoes offered big style and performance fit for a champion. Utilizing a full-length Zoom Air unit for the first time, these Jordans provided impressive cushioning and shock absorption as MJ earned his ninth scoring title and fifth NBA championship title with the Bulls. Style details on the upper added to the must-have factor of the Jordan Retro 12, ensuring it became an instant favorite in the sneaker world.
