The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Barons' nods to the Birmingham Barons, the Double-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, which Michael Jordan played for during his minor league venture. A black tumbled leather upper gets stitched lines throughout, tooled with a grey lizard-textured mudguard. The Jumpman logo appears on the tongue and heel tab. A lightweight Phylon midsole works with a full-length Zoom Air unit underfoot and a carbon fiber shank plate for stability.
