Overview of the 2016 Jordan 12 Retro UNC Sneakers

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 unc 2016

Jordan 12 Retro UNC sneakers were released on June 25, 2016. The sneaker's colorway pays homage to Jordan's time playing college basketball at the University of North Carolina. The Jordan 12 UNC sneakers are fitted with a neutral, Wolf Grey upper comprised of tumbled leather. Subtle University Blue accents are located at the midsole, and the ankle collar is lined with Midnight Navy. Embroidered in University Blue on the face of the tongue is the "Jumpman" logo. The upper has a white, reptilian-textured mudguard. The underfoot of the sneaker features a white, phylon midsole with an Air unit. A carbon-fiber shank plate is in the rubber outsole.
