SNEAKER ALERT: Air Jordan 12 Cherry Shock Drop

The Air Jordan 12 “Cherry” melds decades of sneaker legacy with contemporary appeal, offering a nostalgic journey for enthusiasts and novices alike.

Very few sneakers ever become really legendary in the enormous expanse of sneaker culture. The Air Jordan series is a shining example of those that have succeeded; it has become a cultural icon in addition to being a design and innovation standard. Once in a while, a previously discontinued model from this series is brought back into production to unite the best of both the past and the present. The “Cherry” Air Jordan 12 is one such legendary shoe. It has an extensive past, an iconic design, and an indisputable impact. Almost 30 years after its initial release, this legendary sneaker is making a comeback, merging retro flair with contemporary style. In anticipation of its re-release, it’s important to examine the factors that have made the Air Jordan 12 “Cherry” a classic sneaker.

SNEAKERS

The sneaker culture feeds off of a sense of history. And what better way to spark that warm and fuzzy feeling than with the revival of an old favorite? The Air Jordan 12 Cherry exemplifies this approach by evoking nostalgia while remaining firmly rooted in the here and now. There is a lot of buzz about the sneaker’s return nearly 30 years after its initial release.

Hype & History

The Air Jordan 12 was a huge success when it first came out in 1997. It reappeared in 2009, a little more than a decade later. Though there were rumors of its reappearance in 2017, the plan fell through, leaving fans wanting. Thus, the current release news was music to their ears. To add to the allure, the sneaker made a brief appearance on the Air Jordan 12 Low Golf in 2020.

The shoe’s long-standing popularity, heightened by its absence from Jordan Brand’s autumn preview this year, only added to the excitement for its comeback. The excitement was heightened by prominent sneaker leakers on Instagram, who hinted that the Air Jordan Cherry 12s will return for the holiday season.

Aesthetic & Design

The recent introduction by Nike gives us reason to believe that the model for this year will live up to our expectations of a timeless classic. The trademark color blocking has not been altered in any way, and the top portion of the shoe is done in spotless white leather as before. This is well complemented by the classic “Varsity Red” color, especially where it appears on the textured mudguard.

The shoe exemplifies careful attention to each and every detail. The black accents on the heel tab, lining, and the Jumpman emblem on the tongue add a nice contrast to the sneaker and keep it from being just one color. The eyestays, which are made of silver, lend an air of refinement to the shoe, while the outsole, which is patterned in red, black, and white, is an art piece in and of itself.

Release Date

Sneakerheads should circle October 28 on their calendars if the rumors circulating on social media are true. The sneaker will be available for purchases on Nike SNKRS and at select Jordan Brand retailers around the world for the equivalent of $210 USD. On the other hand, considering its illustrious history and the huge desire for it, one may anticipate that it will disappear off the shelves in a hurry.

It’s clear that the “Cherry” has a lot of appeal because sneakerheads were talking about 2009 throwback photos that surfaced online. The anticipation level has skyrocketed ever since real photographs of the 2023 edition began making the rounds online.

The “Cherry” Air Jordan 12s are more than just a shoe. It’s a piece of basketball memorabilia, a tribute to the culture of the ’90s, and a fashion statement all in one. The shoe’s reissue is more than just a restock; it’s also a celebration of the past, a tribute to the golden age of athletic footwear, and proof that Jordans will always be in style.

This return in 2023 is a trip down memory lane for anyone who was lucky enough to acquire or experience the allure of the Air Jordan 12 “Cherry” in its original release or its 2009 edition. And the new Air Jordans are sure to work their magic again on October 28.
