Air Jordan 12 Retro 'University Gold' 130690-070
Air Jordan 12 Retro 'University Gold' — Black & Gold Done Right
The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'University Gold' is a striking new colorway of Michael Jordan's late-'90s signature shoe, drawing on the classic two-toned aesthetic that made the AJ12 a timeless icon. Released on July 18, 2020, this colorway delivers a bold yet refined look that holds its own alongside the greatest Jordan 12s ever made.
The shoe features a buttery black leather upper paired with a contrasting yellow lizard-patterned leather mudguard — a combination that immediately commands attention. The design stays intentionally understated elsewhere: black laces, silver hardware, and a black leather tongue all serve to spotlight the embroidered yellow Jumpman and 'Two 3' branding on the tongue. Underfoot, a carbon fiber midfoot plate, black Jumpman, and two black traction pods on the yellow outsole echo the styling cadence of the original 1997 Air Jordan 12s.
