The Air Jordan XII was released in the ’96-’97 season. This is a very unique shoe. It is the first Jordan shoe to have Zoom Air. It runs from the heal to just under the balls of your feet making it very responsive for all those stop and go movements and when you make a back cut to throw down the ally oop. These are the color that Jordan wore when he scored 38 pts grabbed 7 boards, dished 5 assist, and played 44 minutes  against Utah in the ’97 NBA FINALS, all the while being sick so bad he had to be helped off the court by Scottie Pippen.
