The Glamorous Air Jordan 12 Retro Bordeaux 2017 Release
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 Bordeaux 2017
The Jordan 12 Bordeaux 2017 sneakers combine a retro style with a bold, fashionable color. The silhouettes have a tonal, burgundy color all around the upper and mid parts of the shoe. The color was inspired by red wine and was originally seen in 1991. This color sharply contrasts with the white outsole, creating a sleek look against any backdrop. The iconic Air Jordan branding isn’t lost on these silhouettes either. The Jumpman logo is seen on both the tongue and the back of the shoe. The logo even wraps from the tip of the outsole to the bottom. The white outsole color creates a sharp contrast, with the silver eyestays acting as an accent, tying all of the colors together in one beautiful sneaker.
