A blue-white classic returns with anniversary flair.
The Air Jordan 12 “French Blue” makes a highly anticipated comeback for 2025, reviving the fan-favorite color palette that blends nostalgic appeal with refined court styling.

Construction and design
This version mirrors the original 2004 layout with a pristine white leather upper accented by French Blue overlays on the mudguard and outsole. Metallic silver touches lend subtle shine to the side panels and eyelets, while pops of Varsity Red at the heel finalize the look. The craftsmanship preserves the iconic AJ12 stitching and contours that echo its rise-shooting heritage.

Comfort and performance
Staying true to its performance roots, this retro retains the full‑length Zoom Air cushioning embedded in a lightweight foam midsole, delivering responsive support on and off the court. A carbon-fiber shank adds torsional stability, and the grippy rubber outsole ensures classic traction.

Release
Set to drop on August 16, 2025, the Air Jordan 12 “French Blue” will be released globally via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. Priced at $205/209.99€/189.99£, it will be available in full family sizing. This marks the first reissue since the 2016 retro, adding to Jordan Brand’s loaded 2025 lineup.
