The Air Jordan 12 Retro Emoji introduces a unique, flexible fit in grade school sizing with a textured upper made of soft, durable leather featuring emoji-themed graphics. It has textured upper perforations for breathability, 'Hugs and Kisses' branding on the tongue, a padded collar, a Phylon foam midsole encapsulated in an Air sole heel unit, and a rubber outsole. The midsole comprises encapsulated Air sole units for cushioning, and the outsole is made of flexible rubber for traction and durability with the iconic herringbone pattern. Released in January 2022 and retailed for $150, this model is built for big kids and combines unique details with a classic color scheme rooted in Jordan heritage. The 12’s signature stitched lines radiate outward on the white leather upper, enhanced with a synthetic leather mudguard in University Blue. Traditional Jumpman branding decorates the tongue, along with assorted video game graphics appearing on the lateral heel and textile collar lining.
