Air Jordan 12. This shoe was inspired by the Japanese flag Nisshoki and a 19th century woman’s dress boot.
As the first shoe released by the new Jordan Brand, the XII is notable in that it bears no Nike logo. From the "QUALITY INSPIRED BY THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER" inscribed on the heel to the Jumpman logo creeping up the toecap, the XII is an all-round class act, and will forever be remembered as Michael’s kicks for the legendary "thirty-eight with the ’flu" game.
Further information
- The pattern on the leather was inspired by a Japanese military flag which depicts the sunset.
