Jordan 12 Barons

The Jordan 12 Retro Barons brings a fresh new colorway to the iconic Jordan 12 silhouette, drawing inspiration from an often overlooked chapter in Michael Jordan’s legendary career—his time with the Birmingham Barons, a minor league baseball team. During his brief departure from basketball in 1994, MJ pursued a childhood dream of playing professional baseball, a decision that stunned fans worldwide. The "Barons" colorway pays tribute to this unique period, offering a sleek black, wolf grey, and white design that echoes the colors of the Barons' uniforms.
First introduced in 1996, the Jordan 12 has remained a staple in the Jordan Brand lineup thanks to its premium materials and timeless design. Known for its durable leather upper, the Jordan 12 was also the first Air Jordan to feature Nike’s Zoom Air cushioning technology. This new Barons colorway showcases a sleek and minimalistic look that makes this model a versatile option for both casual wear and on-court performance.
Released on September 28, 2024. This sneaker honors a unique moment in Michael Jordan’s career while maintaining the classic style and performance features that have made the Jordan 12 a fan favorite for nearly three decades.
