The Air Jordan 12 Retro Playoffs 2022 features a stylish Black/Varsity Red/White colorway. It showcases white textured leather overlays on a black tumbled leather upper, complemented by a light gray leather detail just above the white midsole, proudly displaying the "Jumpman" logo. Iconic Jumpman branding can be found throughout the shoe, including the tongue, insole, and outsole, with silver metal tabs on the collar and a Jordan Team patch stitched onto the heel. The black and gray checked carbon fiber shank plate is visible through the distinctive outsole made of white, black, and red rubber. This release, which launched on March 11, 2022, aimed at young sneaker enthusiasts, was priced at $150. The 2022 edition of the Air Jordan 12 Retro GS ‘Playoff’ revives a classic, originally debuted by MJ during the 1997 NBA postseason, featuring tumbled black leather on the upper, signature stitch detailing, and reinforced white lizard-texture overlays, along with striking crimson accents on branding elements, including a Jumpman logo and embossed ‘23’ on the rear heel. The rubber outsole incorporates herringbone traction pods and an exposed carbon fiber shank plate.
