Air Jordan 12 (XII) Retro – Rising Sun - Official Release Date

Air Jordan 12 (XII) Retro – Rising Sun - Official Release Date

We told you guys several times that Jordan Brand would be releasing several colorways in the popular Air Jordan 12 (XII) silhouette, including the Rising Sun version shown here. hey sport an all white leather upper along with perforated portions for ventilation purposes, as well as a splash of patent leather on the toe. Finishing off the shoe is a red Jumpman logo, which adds depth to this otherwise bland shoe.

In case you didn’t know, the Air Jordan 12 (XII) is inspired by the Nisshoki, which is the Japanese rising sun flag, as well as a 19th century women’s 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. They are officially slated to release on November 21, 2009 to Jordan Brand accounts.
