While the verdict is still out on the top spot, there's no denying that one of the greatest, most easily recognizable basketball shoes on the market is the Jordan Retro 12. This shoe has been designed specifically for your kids' active feet so they can feel the comfort of a full-grain or synthetic upper that supports them while looking fresh. The classic Air Sole unit keeps them comfortable with superior cushioning. The AJ 12s are best known for being the shoe MJ wore when he dominated Utah during the legendary 1997 Finals — also known as the "Flu Game," when Jordan scored 38 points while suffering a 103-degree fever. Inspired by the Rising Sun, these sneakers add retro cool to your boy's looks. But the smart new colorways speak to how easy it is to refresh this AJ and still have it feel unique. It's a fan favorite, and it's time to make it your kid's new favorite. • Beloved silhouette and design makes it instantly memorable. • Full-grain leather or synthetic upper depending on colorway for secure comfort and performance. • Soft, comfortable midsole thanks to extra large Air Sole unit. • Jumpman branding on tongue and heel for style • TPU Support shank in midfoot for extra stability and support at every turn. • Classic herringbone rubber outsole for superior grip
