The shoe features genuine nubuck leather throughout the upper, tongue, collar and eye stays, and a 3D embroidered Nike Dunks On Sale Jumpman logo on the tongue. We don't want to release these OG colorways randomly, says Donald Kelsey, Jordan Brand Product Director, Global Retro Line. Inspired by Jordan's infamous Black Cat nickname, the silhouette features a holographic jewel at the heel and outsole resembling a panther eye and paw, respectively. The Air Jordan 12 was the first Air Jordan sneaker with Zoom Air cushioning.

The Infrared, which effectively started strong a legacy still on-going, has seen a number of Retro releases since its inception - the most recent of which took place not too long ago in February of 2019. Despite launching in 1985 at the inception of the Air Jordan line, the sneaker has since largely deviated from its original design.
