The Air Jordan 12 (XII) frist model was inspired by "Nisshoki"(the Japanese flag) and a 19th century womans' dress boots. Initial public perception was a disappointment. However, featuring gold-plated steel lace loops, embossed lizard skin pattern and zoom air, this model showed a new direction in style and technology in shoe design. Though not as light in weight as previous models, the construction and firmness of the Jordan retro 12 is widely considered to be the most durable and sturdy shoes from the Air Jordan Shoes  line ever made before.
This Air Jordans 12 shoes is also known as "OG's" that came in 5 colorways and was released on March-13-2008. The Jordan 12 was released on December 25, 2008 with the Eleven as the final countdown pack. As of today, the 11/12 countdown package (retro) retails for $400–$550, well above the starting price of $310. But thats the previous price, its much more cheap then Jordan 10  here now.
