Talk about throwing a monkey wrench in someones plans. While many like myself prepare for the release of the Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘French Blue’ it appears Jordan Brand has another AJ12 on the horizon which is sure to make you rethink which to purchase. Well the Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘Wings’ is “limited to 12,000 pairs” and well lets be honest, the gold wings detailing that appears after wearing or rubbing the sneaker is definitely a plus.
Check out the Nike release details and let us know down in the comments your thoughts, will these be a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
Available April 2 on SNKRS via The Draw (10am-11am EDT)
Originally inspired by dress boots fused with the Japanese Rising Sun flag, the Air Jordan XII returns in black and white. Gold graces the lace stays, side panel, insole and outsole. A silhouette of His Airness’ wingspan is placed on the heel just above 23 in black over white. At first glance, this Jordan colorway appears simple.
The pressure and discomfort involved in growing and eventually being capable of flying, like his Airness on the court, requires hard work to achieve such a feat. To fly, one also needs wings. The Air Jordan XII ‘Wings’ brings this to life as the black upper reveals gold wings after being wiped, agitated, and rubbed on its natural surface. The man behind the Jumpman earned his wings time and time again in the Jordan XII – most notably in an iconic 38 point performance in Utah while being weighed down by a stomach virus. Earn your own wings in this latest Jordan XII model.
