Interesting Facts About the 4/21 Air Jordan 12 Retro Playoff

Inspired by Japan's Rising Sun flag and a woman's 19th-century shoe's high heel (yes, you heard that correctly!), the Tinker Hatfield-designed Air Jordan 12 made its debut in 1996. MJ wanted a comfortable, durable heel that was also stylish, so he took his cue from a woman's shoe profile.

The OG Jordan 12 originated with five colorways in 1996 and 1997. The Air Jordan 12 Retro series was later introduced in 2003 and continues today. From OG colorways like "Taxi" and "Flu Game" to exclusive Retro collabs with OVO and PSNY, Air Jordan 12 sneakers are sought after for their bold silhouette, sharp color combos and long-wearing durability.

Air Jordan 12: History and a Brand New Launch

After the extraordinary success of the Air Jordan 11, Michael Jordan's 12th signature shoe was released in 1996. The official launch of the Jordan Brand occurred the following year, and the Jordan 12s were the last of the line to be sold in a Nike branded box.

Aesthetically, the AJ 12 merged details like stitched leather panels that resembled rays from the sun with a sleek shape based loosely on a 19th-century dress boot. Performance-wise, the Air Jordan 12s retained the revolutionary carbon fiber plate introduced in the Air Jordan 11 and added Nike Zoom Air cushioning - the first Jordan sneaker to do so.

Jordan 12 Retro playoff release 2012

The Black, Varsity Red and White Colorway of the Air Jordan 12 Retro is one of the most adored versions of this classic sneaker. This version of the Jordan 12 comes with an upper made almost exclusively of black leather with white finishes on the midsole, outsole, and mudguard. The shoe's upper lace eyelets have a metallic silver finish, and the Jumpman logo on the shoe's tongue was stitched in Varsity Red. The Air Jordan 12 Playoffs got its nickname due to their appearance in the 1997 NBA playoffs, as well as their appearance in a 1997 All-Star game in which Michael Jordan made history with the first triple-double ever scored in an All-Star game. The shoe also made history by being the first Jordan release to utilize Twitter's RSVP system.
