A Closer Look at the Air Jordan 12 “French Blue”
Worn by the iconic Kobe Bryant during his sneaker free agency in 2003, the Air Jordan 12 “French Blue” features a pristine blend of White, French Blue, Metallic Silver, and Varsity Red. If it was good enough for the Mamba, it’s definitely a must-own for any Air Jordan enthusiast looking to enrich their collection with a timeless non-OG colourway.
The upcoming retro release is expected to feature “White” tumbled leather across most of the upper, accentuated by “French Blue” on the faux reptile overlays, midsole, and outsole. This striking blue also highlights branding details, complemented by bold “Varsity Red” accents.
Adding the final touch to this stylish colourway, a hint of grey peeks through on the Jumpman-branded plastic tab that runs along the side of the shoe, while “Metallic Silver” graces the eyelets.
