First released at globally and at Lemkus in 2004, the ‘French Blue’ quickly cemented its place in sneaker history. Beyond its clean aesthetic, the shoe gained extra fame when Kobe Bryant—still a Laker but between sneaker deals—laced them up during a memorable game, making this Jordan a true cross-generational icon. Whether you remember them for the on-court dominance or for their effortless off-court style, the French Blue 12s carry a legacy worth celebrating.

Underfoot, the AJ12 remains as performance-minded as it is stylish. It was the first Air Jordan to introduce full-length Air Zoom cushioning, bringing comfort and responsiveness to match its sharp visual appeal—a perfect balance of heritage and modern wearability.

Two decades later, the French Blue still hits like a game-winner at the buzzer. Whether you’re here for nostalgia, Kobe’s story, or simply one of the cleanest Jordan colourways ever made, this release is not to be missed.
