The Air Jordan 12 Retro Low: The Black Patent Colorway

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 Low Black Patent 2011

The Black Patent colorway made its way onto the Air Jordan 12 low-top silhouette in 2011 as a redesign of the original colorway released in 1996. A nubuck upper incorporates a vertical stitched design with perforations for added breathability throughout the shoe. A shiny patent leather mudguard wraps the front of this upper in glossy black. Black continues on the laces, tongue, heel, side panels, midsole, outsole, and inner sock liner. Varsity Red accents appear on the heel tab as well as on the tongue where a Jordan brand Jumpman logo is stamped. A final Jumpman logo is etched into the outsole's bottom toe. The black patent colorway made its way to the general public on May 28, 2011.
