Air Jordan 12 OG 'Cherry' 1997
The Varsity Red, white, and black version of the Original Air Jordan 12 is one of, if not the, most recognizable of the first five colorways and Jordan’s preferred look during the 1997 season. The design’s upper features premium white leather with Nisshoki-inspired stitching reminiscent of the sun’s rays and a lizard-print mudguard in red. Signature details include a spelled-out “TWO 3” instead of “23” on the tongue, a quick-lacing system, carbon fiber shank plate, and Zoom Air.
