A beloved, non-OG Air Jordan 12<\/a> is rumored to make a return as the Air Jordan 12 “French Blue”<\/strong> is speculated to arrive in Fall 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cFrench Blue\u201d AJ12 holds a special place in sneaker history. Originally released in 2004<\/a>, the colorway quickly became a fan favorite thanks to the use of the “French Blue” hue, starting away from the typical red, black, and white color scheme that will forever be associated with his Airness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The white leather upper, paired with the blue accents along the mudguard and outsole, offered a look that stood out in the Air Jordan line as well as on the court in the early 2000s. Subtle hits of red on the tongue and heel tab added a pop of color and made the iteration of the Jordan 12 an instant classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its aesthetics, the “French Blue” AJ12 was embraced and cherished by sneaker culture thanks to the Mamba. During Kobe Bryant\u2019s legendary sneaker free agency<\/a> in 2003, Bryant wore the \u201cFrench Blue\u201d AJ12<\/a> on the court before signing with Nike<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
