The Air Jordan 12 'Playoffs' is a highly regarded sneaker that earned its nickname from its memorable appearance during the 1997 NBA playoffs. This black and varsity red colorway holds a special place in the hearts of fans. It is also famously associated with Michael Jordan's incredible performance at the '97 All-Star game, where he achieved the first triple-double in All-Star history. The Air Jordan 12 'Playoffs' has been released as retro editions in 2004 and 2012, and a low top silhouette version was introduced in 2017. The 2012 retro marked a significant moment for Brand Jordan, as it became the first release to implement the Twitter RSVP system.
