The Jordan 12 Retro Gets Regal With Game Royal

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 Game Royal 2019

Done up in a tri-colored black, Game Royal, and metallic silver design, the Air Jordan 12 Retro's Game Royal colorway hit the shelves on November 21, 2019. Although it is a remake, this shoe's color blocking stays true to the original with its elegant tumbled leather upper that is coated in all black. The shoe's rich, Game Royal blue introduces itself on the midsole as well as on the mudguard. Black extends down to the back section of the midsole, though Game Royal takes over from there, extending all the way down to the shoe's bottom tread. Game Royal accents add further coloring to the heel, which incorporates text and the Jordan Brand Jumpman logo in Game Royal atop a black pull tab.
