Air Jordan 12 Celebrates the Chinese New Year in 2017

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 Chinese New Year 2017

Released in 2017, the Chinese New Year colorway appeared as a Retro design on the Air Jordan 12 silhouette. A white premium leather upper coats the majority of the sneaker, while a black basket woven overlay acts as a mudguard for the front of the shoe. Wood grain side panels and top eyelets accents these shoes with a hint of color. The only other detour from white or black appears on the outer sole, where a Varsity Red "Jumpman" logo adorns the bottom of the toe. The heel and toe bottom are stamped in white, while black outlines the design.
