The Air Jordan 12 Retro Utility Grind is designed for grade schoolers, featuring a monochromatic black color scheme. This durable sneaker is made of leather, cotton, and rubber, showcasing a tumbled black leather layered upper with signature stitch detailing. It includes a Jumpman branded lace lock, a Jordan branded heel tab, and a prominent white '23' at the heel. Completed with a grey sole partly made from Nike Grind, this shoe first debuted in August 2021 at a suggested retail price of $140. Built for bigger kids, the Air Jordan 12 Utility incorporates sustainable materials. The black tumbled leather upper is enhanced with tonal nubuck overlays and a striking crimson accent on the midfoot that complements the Jumpman icon on the black ballistic mesh tongue. Responsive cushioning is provided by a full-length Zoom Air unit within the Phylon midsole, while the speckled rubber outsole is crafted with 3% Nike Grind, utilizing recycled materials from manufacturing scraps and end-of-life shoes.
