The Air Jordan 2012 Lite is a lighter version of the earlier AJ 2012, as it sheds off unnecessary weight and adopts a streamlined design. Unlike its predecessor, this model features an all-Flywire construction for the upper, eliminating heavy leather overlays. It is equipped with a full-length Air unit in the midsole and a durable rubber outsole for enhanced performance. This particular version takes inspiration from Chris Paul's team colors during his 2012 NBA Playoff run, resulting in a player edition colorway.
