Jordan 12 – a solid 90s classic in many iterations

Air Jordan 12is one of the most substantial and well-made Jordans from the 90s. In our collection, you'll find colorways that pay tribute to NBA history – Playoff, Reverse Flu Game, and Taxi Flip – as well as newer, bolder editions: Blueberry, Field Purple, University Gold, Royalty, Cherry, and Barons. For collectors, there's also the Air Jordan 12 SP x SoleFly Cafecito, a collaboration with the Miami boutique.

What is the Air Jordan 12 known for?

The upper of the Jordan 12 is usually grained leather or nubuck with distinctive stitching, and a metal or plastic element with the "Two 3" inscription is visible on the side near the laces. The sole features a full-length Zoom Air unit, which provides good cushioning but feels firmer than soft foam. The result is a stable and solid shoe that looks great with wide-leg pants.

How to choose the size and care for the Jordan 12?

The Jordan 12 is fairly standard in length, but its stiff construction may make it feel tighter during the first few days. For a wide foot, it's worth going half a size up. Clean grained leather with a damp cloth and mild cleaner, and nubuck and suede with a dry brush. The thick sole is durable, but it's worth regularly wiping the light elements near the sole.

Every Jordan 12 undergoes an authenticity check before shipping – we check the shape of the upper, the quality of the stitching, and the details of the metal elements. If you're looking for other silhouettes from this era, check out Air Jordan 11 with patent leather, Air Jordan 4 or the entire collection Air Jordan .
