Key Features

- Carbon fiber midfoot shank plate — the Air Jordan 12’s defining structural and performance signature, rendered in the full AJ12 construction with the carbon fiber panel that Tinker Hatfield introduced on the original 1996 design and that continues to define the AJ12 silhouette as one of the most technically sophisticated and collector-respected shoes in the entire Jordan Retro lineup
