The OG Air Jordan 12 was a first for Jordan Brand, even if what MJ did wearing them wasn't a first for him. Lacing up in the first official Jordan Brand model throughout the 1996–97 season, MJ won another title in the Air Jordan 12, often rocking the OG "Cherry" colorway. Nearly 25 years later, the beloved "Cherry" is receiving a classic twist with this new Air Jordan 12 colorway. Instead of University Red dominating the makeup of the outside upper, midsole and sole, the "Red Metallic" colorway reverses the "Cherry" original, with a clean white leather covering the upper instead. To top it all off, University Red accents on the midfoot and eyestays complete the full twist.
