No need to call for a ride—MJ's game-winning look from '96 will get you where you need to go. This AJ12 is the return of Tinker Hatfield's celebrated design, the first to bring Air Zoom cushioning to Jordan's signature line. Premium materials give it a seasonal refresh, while the sunrise-inspired stitch lines on the upper hook back to the original. This is buzzer-beater style, perfected.

• First released in 2004, the “French Blue” colorway quickly became iconic after Kobe Bryant wore it during his 2003–2004 free agency, pairing it with Lakers’ blue-and-white uniforms, lending it legendary status.

• This upcoming drop is a faithful one-to-one retro, matching the original leather materials and design details—unlike the rumored “French Blue 2.0” update, which was ultimately scrapped in favor of the classic return.

• Previously retro’d in 2016.
