The Air Jordan 12 (XII) Original (OG) Playoffs – Black / Varsity Red – White – Metallic Silver • DEADSTOCK
Released in 1997, and retailed for $140. They feature an black and white upper, along with small details which make the shoe so popular, including the red Jumpman logo on the tongue, the white “TWO 3?, and the small “Jumpman” printed along the side panel in sliver. The top two lacing eyelets are metal, and even feature a small Jumpman logo on them. It’s the little things that make a difference, and sell the shoe. The Air Jordan 12 (XII) also has some history behind it, as it was by the Nisshoki, which is the Japanese rising sun flag, as well as a 19th century womens dress boot. It features stitched leather which radiates outward like sun rays, and this theme extends all the way to the arch of the shoe. The outsole features a modified herringbone pattern, which provides great traction, and the shoe uses Nike’s Zoom Air technology.
