Here’s an official look at the upcoming Air Jordan 12 Wings colorway. At first, the sneaker appears to be nothing more than altered version of the classic Playoffs color scheme. When rubbed and agitated however, its blacked ribbed leather upper reveals beautiful metallic gold wing graphics. This feature represents the discomfort involved in growing wings and learning to fly, similar to the hard work MJ put in to become a great basketball player. Additional design cues include the use of metallic gold eyelets up top, as well as a metallic gold side tab that reads “WINGS”. One of the most noticeable differences in this version, however, is the application of a silhouette at the heel that depicts MJ’s wingspan. This silhouette comes from the classic Air Jordan poster featuring His Airness fully stretched out, which is also the primary source of inspiration for the sneaker.

The Air Jordan XII Wings will release via Nike’s SNKRS app via The Draw on Saturday, April 2. Retail price is set at $225. Unfortunately, not everyone will be successful in picking up a pair through the app. If you’d like to secure a pair for yourself, a pairs have already surfaced on eBay. Here’s a direct link to the listings.
