Allowing the wearer to choose one of two fit systems, the Air Jordan 2012 furthered the interchangeable innovations of the Air Jordan 2011. Versatile in cushioning and cut, the AJ 2012 was inspired by 1920s dance shoes, and even features a wingtip-like design on the toe. In honor of Day 27 of Jordan’s #XX8DaysOfFlight, we revisit the Air Jordan 2012 before celebrating the latest shoe in the Jumpman legacy tomorrow, the Air Jordan XX8.
