Jordan 12 Retro Barons (GS)

The Jordan 12 Retro Barons (GS), in grade school sizes, is a high-top athletic shoe with a black tumbled leather upper featuring radiating quilted stitch lines accented by a gray lizard texture mudguard. Jumpman branding appears on the tongue and heel tab, accented by Jordan and 23 branding. The black and gray midsole features a full-length Zoom Air unit and a carbon fiber plate within. When American athletic wear brand Nike began collaborating with NBA phenomenon Michael Jordan in the 1980s, the world needed to be made aware of the impact the partnership would create. Decades later, Jordan's brand Jordan 12 was inspired by his time with the Birmingham Barons, the Double-A league affiliate of Chicago’s White Sox. Michael Jordan played for the Barons during their 1994 season. Our experts feel that the best feature of the Jordan 12 Retro is its branding, which is blended strategically throughout the shoe. The Jordan 12 Retro Barons (GS) was released on September 28, 2024, and retailed for $150.
