Air Jordan 12 (XII)

Air Jordan 12 (XII) - On the Air Jordan 12 Michael wanted a different look with his number 23. So an idea came to Michael Jordan to have 23 written down the tongue, written like this: Two 3. A new year means a new shoe design from Nike and Air Jordan. Nike Basketball was heading into a different direction with foamposite, shox, and big air bubbles in shoes.The Air Jordan XII was inspired by "Nisshoki", (the Japanese flag) and a 19th century womans' dress boot. Initial public perception was a disappointment. However, featuring gold-plated steel lace loops, embossed lizard skin pattern and zoom air, this model set a new direction in style and technology in shoe design. Though not as light in weight as previous models, the construction and firmness of the shoe is widely considered to be the most durable and sturdy shoes from the Air Jordan line ever made.



This shoe known as "OG's' came in 5 colorways and was released on March 13. This shoe was also designed by, one of the top Jordan designers of the Jordan Brand. This shoe will release in December 2008 with the Eleven as the final countdown pack. In addition, the Twelve was combined with the Thirteen numbered Jordan to produce the 12.5. A lot of good qualities were on the Air Jordan XII, they had the Zoom Air unit, the first Air Jordan to have a Zoom air unit, modified herringbone pattern for improved traction and a more improved carbon fiber shank plate. In 2003 two color ways and a pair of Air Jordan XII cleats released. A couple months later an Air Jordan XII package was sold which came with the Air Jordan XII, hoody and hat which sold for $200 online. 2004 was now here and four color ways came out of the Air Jordan XII, which went for $135.00, and three Air Jordan XII lows dropped selling for $115.00.
