Air Jordan 12 Retro 'French Blue' | CT8013-114 | Deadstock
Cool, Confident, Iconic — Air Jordan 12 Retro 'French Blue'
The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'French Blue' is one of the most sophisticated colorways ever applied to the AJ12 silhouette. Where other Jordan 12s go bold and aggressive, the 'French Blue' takes a different approach — refined, cool-toned, and effortlessly stylish. It's the kind of shoe that works as well with tailored trousers as it does with your best denim. A collector's colorway that never goes out of rotation.
The AJ12: Luxury Meets Legacy
Designed by Tinker Hatfield and first worn by Michael Jordan during the 1996–97 NBA season — the year MJ won his fifth championship — the Air Jordan 12 drew its design inspiration from the Japanese rising sun flag and the sole of a luxury dress shoe. The result was a silhouette that felt as at home on the court as it did off it. The 'French Blue' colorway honors that dual identity perfectly: performance heritage wrapped in a palette that leans unmistakably toward fashion.
