Over the years many have had a love hate relationship with the Jordan XII. For some you have a shoe that looks as fly as any in the lineage while for others you have a shoe that’s rather plain. Regardless there is no denying the shoes historic significance with Michael Jordan himself quoted as saying:
“For me, Game 5 was a defining moment in sports and in life. I wear a gold Air Jordan 12 around my neck because it represents the duality of greatness and humility. Only true greatness can rise to the occasion but can also be humble enough to be carried off by another. In spite of all obstacles – greatness always finds a way to overcome.”
Sure, it was the man not the shoe that made the magic but the Jordan XII will be forever tied to MJ’s epic “flu game” and to celebrate, Jordan Brand will feature a series of vignettes starring actor and comedian, J.B. Smoove, and Scottie Pippen. In addition Jordan Brand will also take it back to Salt Lake City for a one-day pop-up experience, paying homage to Michael and the fans in Utah with a store takeover inclusive of product storytelling and performances.
