Sneakerheads called it the most durable Air Jordan model and it was perhaps among Michael Jordan’s favorites during his court era. This is the Air Jordan 12, a silhouette with a design that is inspired by the Japanese rising sun as shown on the meticulous stitching on the upper particularly along the lace panels through the heel.

Today, the Air Jordan 12 is taking off with another retro version that is more likely similar to the OG colorway where it wears black and white leather combination that sports a true red accent from the Jumpman logo, heel pull tab and spine, and the number “23” found on the rear portion of the midsole.

Truly, this is one amazing re-appearance of the Air Jordan 12 which was once a legend and now an iconic piece. As we wait for its official release, the brand gives preview with the exact specification that we will be expecting from the pack. A pair will retail at $160.

Apparently, a bunch of NBA stars have been granted with player exclusive sneakers. Nike and Air Jordan are on the hype of bringing the best basketball pairs on the court. If you can recall the Air Jordan 12 which is known to be the most durable among the Jordan lineups has been released for different players in colorways that represent their corresponding teams.

After the successive appearance of the Air Jordan 12, here is another colorway that brings honor to the former LA Clippers’ pride, Quentin Richardson. The brand borrows the red from the official team colors and used it on the shoe which now results to a combination of black and red. The lower portion comes in red while the remainder which is the leather part is done up in black. Red accent also flaunts on the heel with the Jordan label and Jumpman logo on the heel pull tab while the sole unit reveals MJ’s jersey number 23.

Who do you think will be the next NBA player to receive a new pair of PEs?

If you notice, only the Air Jordan 12 is taking a flight as it releases in different player exclusives. The Ray Allen Sonics Home PE in white/green combination was followed by a pair for Gary Payton in LA-inspired color-up. Shortly thereafter, Denver Nugget’s star, Carmelo ‘Melo’ Anthony was granted with the third Air Jordan 12 PE.

The Air Jordan 12 – Carmelo Anthony Away PE’s details start with the Nuggets’ university blue upper with white breakaway along the toe and sole. This neat frontage flaunts a varsity maize accent along the heel part which matches with the embroidered MELO label along the heel, Jumpman logo on the tongue and outsole, and heel branding. For further identification, this shoe uses a heel spine with JORDAN label in vertical form as a heel pull tab extension.

With this Air Jordan 12 PE trend, we expect for more upcoming Home and Away colorways for different NBA personalities.

Yesterday, we were privileged to feature the Air Jordan 12 – Ray Allen Sonics Home PE in Boston Celtics-inspired colorway. Following the Air Jordan player exclusive trend, here is one more AJ12 influenced by Gary Payton, digging his Los Angeles days. This sneaker is simply a resemblance of any other Lakers combination with the gold standing out.

Although Gary Payton did not last play for the LA Lakers but Miami Heat, Jordan Brand drops this silhouette to remind everyone of Payton’s time in Los Angeles. This shoe basically consists of white tumbled leather upper with golden yellow base and sole unit. The following are the branding and labels appearing on every angle – embossed Jumpman on the side, embroidered Jumpman logo on the tongue and heel pull tab, embroidered “THE GLOVE” label along the heel (right) and “20″ (right), JORDAN label on the heel spine with MJ’s jersey number 23 below, and number 2 in words on the right shoe’s tongue, also indicating Payton’s jersey number, 20.

In the entire Air Jordan history, the AJ 12 has been tagged as the most durable silhouette. With its simple form that conveys a Japanese inspired design, this model has gained positive reviews through its existence. Official Jordan endorser, Ray Allen proved the claim correct when he wears nothing but a pair of Jordans in his entire NBA career for the past decade.

As Ray Allen’s freshest Home PE, the Air Jordan 12 comes in a combination that offers white and deep green. This is a representation of Allen’s official team colors being a player for the Sonics. His home jersey uniform coincides with this ideal blending of tones as the shoe bears gold top lace holders along with his jersey number and his first name appearing on the heel.

On the heel spine is an extended pull tab with Jordan branding and below it is MJ’s iconic jersey number, 23. Look for the Jumpman logo on the tongue and forefoot part of the outer sole. The construction that results to a white upper with deep green base and sole unit is a good sign of perfect matching.
