Our take on the Air Jordan 12 Retro Bucks Big Kids' GS Sneakers

The Air Jordan 12 Retro in the Bucks colorway is a big kids' version of the 1996 shoe Michael Jordan wore through the Flu Game. It pairs a white leather upper with green accents and the signature rising-sun stitching, over a full-length Zoom Air unit, a carbon fiber shank plate and a herringbone outsole. The build is close to the adult Retro 12, so kids get the same cushioning and support rather than a stripped-down takedown. It suits kids and smaller-footed adults who want a retro basketball shoe with real court tech.
