Product Information
Full details
The Jordan 12 Retro Cherry is designed for sneaker enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate the historical significance of Michael Jordan's 1996-97 championship season footwear. Featuring a high-quality leather construction and the iconic quilted aesthetic, these trainers provide a comfortable, durable fit with a distinctive red-and-white colorway. A notable caveat for potential buyers is that these shoes are premium collector items designed for lifestyle wear, and due to their heritage design, they require specific cleaning techniques to maintain the integrity of the white leather and pebbled mudguards.

Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not wearing to maintain the shape of the toe box and minimize deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Jordan 12s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution for the leather upper. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to prevent damage to the internal adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing or the red accents from fading.
- Maintenance: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking on the creases.
- Fit: These trainers typically fit true to size, but the structured nature of the leather means there is less 'break-in' stretch than mesh alternatives.
