10 years ago today, the Air Jordan 5 “Toro Bravo” Pack released<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, it wasn’t alone.<\/p>\n

While the “Toro Bravo” box set was getting buzz for packaging two shoes together, the Air Jordan 12 “Nubuck”<\/strong> was releasing for the first time in solo form.<\/p>\n

Originally launched in November of 2003, the “Nubuck” 12s were one of the first online exclusives from Jordan Brand and definitely a sought after shoe for collectors at the time.<\/p>\n

The catch? Well they didn’t come alone. Like the “Fire Red Laser” 4s of the same era, the “Nubuck” 12s were contingent with clothing and a scaled up price.<\/p>\n

The clothing proved an of the moment pinwheel fitted hat and a matching hoody. The price? A reasonable $200 in hindsight as retro 12s retailed for $135 back in the day.<\/p>\n

Releasing all alone for an inflation adjusted $150 in ’09, the “Nubuck” 12s were back less than six years after its debut.<\/p>\n

While this shoe wasn’t causing campouts like say super-limited Nike Air Yeezys of the same era, it was a sought after shoe by those that missed the first go round. Both the first “Nubucks” and second would also go on to inspire many spinoffs.<\/p>\n

To this day, the Black\/Carolina colorway in suede or true nubuck construction proves a hit as Jordan Brand released both the Air Jordan 14 and Air Jordan 6 in said scheme.<\/p>\n

However, it was ten years ago today that the “Nubuck” 12s released at retail on their own for all to envy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
