The Air Jordan 12 Retro “White and University Blue” is Finally Back

Originally released in 2004, the “White and University Blue” Air Jordan 12 is a masterclass in premium craftsmanship. The upper is made of smooth, white leather that gives the shoe a clean and crisp look, while pops of “University Blue” add a refreshing, vibrant contrast. The combination of these colors harkens back to Carmelo Anthony’s time with the Denver Nuggets.

Inspired by the sunrise, the stitching details on the upper of the sneaker are designed to resemble the light breaking through the horizon. This intricate stitching pays homage to the original design, which draws from the artistry of the sunrise motif. Additionally, the iconic Jumpman branding is front and center, appearing on the padded tongues, heel tabs, and insoles.

Elsewhere, “Metallic Silver” eyelets further elevate the design, adding a touch of shine and luxury to the mix. These subtle, but powerful metallic details are a signature feature of the AJ12, creating a sophisticated yet athletic look. And down below, the shoe boasts white foam midsole units with encapsulated Air cushioning. “University Blue” rubber outsoles round out the look.

Don’t sleep – the Air Jordan 12 Retro “White and University Blue” will be available on Saturday, May 17th, in-store and online at DTLR.com in full family sizing.
