Michael Jordan's contract famously included a provision known as the 'Love of the Game' clause, which allowed him to continue playing basketball during the offseason. This unique stipulation enabled him to travel to various countries and promote the sport through basketball clinics. Recognizing and celebrating Jordan's international endeavors, Jordan Brand created the International Flight Collection, a collection of three shoes that symbolize the notable camps he participated in. One of these shoes is the Air Jordan 12, which pays homage to his 1996 trip to Tokyo. The shoe features a stylish kimono-style print on its suede upper, complemented by a distinctive koi fish scale pattern on the mudguard. Additionally, the characters on the heel translate to 'Air Jordan,' further emphasizing the connection to the legendary basketball player.
