The 130690-001 Air Jordan Retro 12 (XII) Playoffs Black Varsity Red White were released on April 10, 2004. The rands at the bottom half of the upper feature a white colorway, with embossed lizard skin at the base of the upper. Above that features a blue colorway, along with university blue accents on the tongue, including the Jumpman logo. The Air Jordan 12 (XII) is inspired by the Nisshoki, which is the Japanese rising sun flag, as well as a 19th century women dress boot. It features stitched leather which radiates outward like sun rays, and this theme extends all the way to the arch of the shoe. The lower versions ar not as sought after as the higher versions are, but are still really nice to have in your collection.
