Features of the Jordan 12 Retro Nylon

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 nylon 2016

The Jordan 12 Retro Nylon took inspiration from Michael Jordan's fifth championship. Because he wore shoes that were black and white during the game, these sneakers have a similar colorway. The upper and tongue are black with white soles providing contrast. A red Jumpman logo is on the tongue. The sneakers are made of stitched nylon and synthetic leather overlays that feature a pebbled texture. There is a carbon fiber spring plate visible on the bottoms of the shoes. Full-length Zoom Air and a phylon carrier complete the cushioning system. For traction, the outsoles are made of rubber and herringbone traction pods on the forefoot and heel. The Jordan 12 Retro Nylon was released on September 10, 2016.
