Air Jordan 12 (XII) Retro - Nubucks / UNC (Black / University Blue)

The Air Jordan 12 (XII) Retro - Nubucks / UNC (Black / University Blue) was released on November 28, 2003, and retailed for $200, as it was part of a package which also came with a Jordan brand hoody with matching colors. The shoes feature a black nubuck upper, along with lizard skin print on the side rands, which are reminiscent of the Air Jordan 2 (II).  Blue accents cant be seen on the Jumpman logos on the tongue and side panels, as well as on the heel tab. The stitching designs which the Air Jordan 12 (XII) is known for is harder to view on these, due to the upper’s material. the outsole features a modified herringbone pattern, which provides great grip and traction, making these great basketball shoes. The only knock on these is that the rubber sole is quite heavy, and that the lack of an inner bootie means that the shoe does not fit as snug as it should.
