The wait for the retro continues.
Ready for the return of "French Blue" Jordan 12s? Nike is, having just uploaded its official images of the shoe.
While it isn't an original colorway, this Jordan 12 has managed to drum up plenty of excitement ahead of its March release. "French Blue" Jordan 12s made their debut back in 2004 in an era when Jordan Brand got busy with new combinations for this MJ silhouette.
This Air Jordan 12 will release on March 26 for $190 at Jordan Brand accounts globally.

When the Air Jordan 12’s initial retro run came from 2003-04, both new and original colorways were released. The last high-top pair to drop during that time was an all-new “French Blue” iteration. The pair was inspired by the Washington Wizards team colors, made to go along with MJ’s team during his final seasons in the NBA.
Well received, the Air Jordan 12 Retro “French Blue” sold out and became sought after. It returned in 2016 to much praise, acting as a must-have pair whether you had the OGs or missed out on them. Like their predecessor, they too sold out instantly. Now in 2022, the “French Blue” iteration is back, this time as an Air Jordan 12 Retro Low Golf edition.
Staying true to its classic design, the golf sneaker comes in white, French Blue, metallic silver, and varsity red. Featuring a white-based leather upper, French Blue accents the mudguard, midsole, and branding throughout. Subtle hits of metallic silver and red are finished off by a modified plastic outsole, built for the links.
The Air Jordan 12 Retro Low Golf French Blue is set to release in August 2022. It will drop at Nike, via the SNKRS app, and at select Jordan Brand retailers worldwide, both in-store and online. Coming in men’s sizing, retail is set at $220. Check out our Jordan release calendar, and keep it locked to our Twitter andMobile App to stay up to date on future releases.
