The Air Jordan XII came out in 1996 in a year when Michael would not get his MVP award but had to give it up to Karl Malone, who incidentally lost the championship to the Bulls and the Air Jordan 12 wearing Michael Jordan.

The Air Jordan 12 shoe has a modern design that relies on comfort and stability. The ankle support provided by the Air Jordan XII was unparalleled and kept Jordan from having any injuries during the season. As a matter of fact, these shoes may have been the most supportive Jordan shoes ever made.

Again, the pattern reflects a Japanese flare, in symbolizing the rising sun. This shoe was the first to be officially a part of the "Jordan Brand" of this Nike line.

Because of the Air Jordan 12's popularity it has had a Jordan 12 retro come out quite often, much to the frustration of collectors, but this just shows the demand of the shoe has been quite high. Check out out huge selection of Air Jordan 12 shoes below, and bid on a great pair of Jordans today.
