The Original Air Jordan 12 in Varsity Red, white, and black is widely acknowledged as one of the most iconic colorways among the initial five, and it was also Michael Jordan's preferred choice during the 1997 season. The upper of this design showcases high-quality white leather, adorned with stitching that draws inspiration from Nisshoki, resembling the rays of the sun. Additionally, it features a red lizard-print mudguard. Notable details include the unique "TWO 3" inscription on the tongue instead of the typical "23", a convenient quick-lacing system, a sturdy carbon fiber shank plate, and the inclusion of responsive Zoom Air technology.
