Jordan 12 Retro Playoffs (2022)

The Air Jordan 12 Retro, first released in 1996, has long been revered as a pillar of sneaker culture, its armour‑like silhouette and rising‑sun stitching echoing Michael Jordan’s championship pedigree. The 2022 Playoffs colourway revisits the original 1997 tournament edition, featuring a sleek black tumbled‑leather upper, a crisp white textural mudguard and a vivid red Jumpman embroidery on the tongue that together recall the Chicago Bulls’ dominant era. Built on the model’s classic stitched‑panel construction, the shoe retains the original Zoom Air cushioning, adds a carbon‑fiber‑styled shank for subtle support and finishes with a white rubber outsole accented by carbon‑fiber detailing. Its appeal lies in the faithful recreation of a historic moment, marrying the timeless aesthetic of the Playoffs kit with the performance cues that keep the 12 relevant on both court and street.
