This Air Jordan XII was again something totally new when
it came to the design. The way the ribbed leather seemed
to go all the way to down to the ground due to the match
in color with the midsoles, really made people turn
their heads. This unique design was partly inspired by
the flag of the Japanese Army & Navy in which the red
circle is surrounded by a "sunset".
The Air Jordan XII
's were also one of the most durable Air Jordans to
date. It seemed almost nothing could break these shoes
down. One major disadvantage was that they fairly easily
got dirty and were hard to clean. Especially the ones
with white midsoles/soles.
In September 1997 Nike decided to launch a new
sub-brand that Nike named the Jordan Brand. This made
the Air Jordan XII one of the first products that were a
part of the Jordan Brand collection.
Probably due to this fact, the Air Jordan XII was the
first Air Jordan that didn't have a Swoosh or a Nike
logo anywhere on the shoe. Not even on the insole.
