The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'University Gold' showcases a sleek and straightforward design, incorporating a two-tone color scheme reminiscent of the 'Away' Player Edition worn by Gary Payton during the '03 to '04 NBA season, which happened to be his sole stint with the Los Angeles Lakers throughout his extensive career. This retro edition boasts a black tumbled leather upper, adorned with distinctive stitch accents, while the textured forefoot overlays, rubber outsole, and branding elements are beautifully contrasted with a rich University Gold hue.
