The Jordan 12 Retro Cherry (2023) joins the recognizable Jordan 12 lineup in a grade school size with a vintage-inspired colorway. This tri-tone colorway of White, Varsity Red, and Black was first seen on an AJ12 during Michael Jordan’s 1996-1997 NBA season. The Jordan 12 Retro Cherry (2023) finds inspiration in the original shoe, as well as a similar AJ12 model released in 2009. Like others before it, the 2023 iteration features lizard skin-textured overlays in Varsity Red that fortify the white, leather upper. The sneaker boasts a full-length Zoom Air unit as well as a Phylon midsole. The semi-translucent outsole reveals herringbone designs and tread in a similar pattern. Something our experts love about this sneaker is the minimal branding. The shoe comes with the Jumpman logo on the tongue and outsole, and a Jordan pull tab on the heel, but it does not display the Swoosh. Released on October 28, 2023, this sneaker retailed at $150. The 2023 reissue of the Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘Cherry’ presents an OG colorway of the classic silhouette in grade school sizing. Tinker Hatfield’s unique design features a white leather upper with polished silver eyelets and radiating stitched lines. A lizard-textured overlay in Varsity Red gives way to a color-matched rubber outsole, fitted with herringbone traction pods and an exposed midfoot shank. In addition to a Jumpman icon embroidered on the tongue, a second Jumpman logo decorates a pull tab at the heel.
