About the Jordan 12 Retro MCS Black
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 colourways in 1996 and 1997. The Air Jordan 12 Retro series was later introduced in 2003 and continues today. From OG colourways like "Taxi" and "Flu Game" to exclusive Retro collabs with OVO and PSNY, Air Jordan 12 trainers are sought after for their bold silhouette, sharp colour 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 fibre plate introduced in the Air Jordan 11 and added Nike Zoom Air cushioning - the first Jordan trainer to do so.
Bringing basketball style to the baseball field, the Jordan Retro MCS black cleats take the iconic Jordan 12 Retro silhouette and add baseball efficiency. The shoes have a black leather upper with a patent white panel on the medial side. Inside that panel, as well as on the toe, is a silver panel. The lace eyelets are also seen in leather while the sole of the black baseball cleat Jordans is white. Completing them are grey spikes on the bottom of the cleats.
