Bringing back the mid-top that Michael wore during his 1997 championship campaign is the 2022 edition of the Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Playoff.' It features an essential two-tone color scheme, featuring radiating stitched lines on the black leather upper and lizard-textured overlays in a contrasting white finish. Metallic silver eyelets are molded on, while color-popped crimson accents land on the Jumpman-embroidered tongue and webbing heel loop. Full-length Zoom Air cushioning is underneath with a carbon fiber shank plate and a rubber outsole with herringbone traction pods under the forefoot and heel.
