Jordan 12 Retro Playoffs (2022)

In celebration of its 25th Anniversary, Jordan Brand brought back the shoe that Michael Jordan wore while winning his 5th NBA Title, the Air Jordan 12 Retro Playoffs.

Debuted in 1997, the Air Jordan 12 Playoff captures Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls' dominance in the 1990s era of NBA basketball. This 2022 model sticks to the original design, featuring a black tumbled leather upper with a white textural mudguard and red Jumpman embroidery on the tongue. At the heel, a woven Jordan label and "23" text add subtle branding. At the base, a white sole with carbon fiber detailing completes the design.

Colorway - BLACK/VARSITY RED-WHITE

The Jordan 12 Retro Playoffs lands with core DNA straight from the OGs that turned hardwood moments into sneaker legend. With its clean black tumbled leather upper, crisp white mudguard, and hits of varsity red nodding to MJ’s Bulls era, this pair doesn’t just celebrate 25 years of iconic design - it keeps that championship energy alive in every step. Lace up, and you’re instantly part of a story that refuses to fade, one with as much swagger as nostalgia.

Full-Grain Tumbled Leather Upper

Premium black full-grain tumbled leather wraps the upper, serving both comfort and street-tested durability. The texture feels plush, while the sturdy build provides true support whether on the move or on display. Contrasting white leather overlays on the mudguard add visual punch; it’s a tactile celebration of what made the Jordan 12 an MVP on and off the court.

Full-Length Zoom Air Cushioning

Get the bounce you expect from championship lineage with full-length Zoom Air cushioning beneath your stride. Responsive comfort teams up with a Phylon midsole, delivering that soft-yet-energized step for both all-day sessions and style flex. Hoopers and sneakerheads agree: this blend of cushion and support is what elevates the Playoffs to icon status.

Heritage Details and Durable Outsole

Classic lizard-textured mudguard, iconic “23” heel branding, and flashes of varsity red all pay respect to storied moments - most notably, MJ's triple-double in the 1997 All-Star Game. Reliable herringbone traction pods and a carbon fiber shank plate anchor the outsole, promising grip and stability that echoes through decades of basketball royalty.

Courtside Classic

Rock these with slim black joggers, a white oversized tee, and a red varsity jacket for a look that channels serious MJ vibes. Add a snapback and gold chain to finish off that loud, but never try-hard, style that matches the confidence of the Playoffs' legacy.

Urban Weekend Flex

Pair with tapered grey cargo pants, tucked-in graphic streetwear hoodie, and an unstructured beanie. Layer up with a black nylon utility vest for smart urban edge, letting those crisp white mudguards peek out and do all the heavy lifting for your rotation.

Luxe Laid-Back

Keep it clean with straight-cut dark denim, soft cream sweatshirt, and minimalist accessories. A structured bomber in varsity red will echo the sneaker’s accents, creating an outfit that transitions seamlessly from brunch runs to night moves without sacrificing comfort or hype.
