Material
The original Air Jordan XII Retro shoes were made of premium full-grain leather, but the latest Retro models come from a split grain. The new material is not the best when compared to the original ones. But the split-grain was also used in Air Jordan IV White and Cement Retro, and when you compare Air Jordan XII Retro to that, it is much better. To enjoy these, just like the midsole, you’ll have to break them in a little. It definitely won’t take much time because there is literally no ventilation, so your body heat will quicken the process.
Fit
The Air Jordan XII Retro shoes will fit perfectly after you break them in a little. Heel lockdown and midfoot works perfectly. Since the material comes from leather, it stretches a little after you wear it a few times. To fix the extra space created after the stretching of the leather, you can simply tie it tighter than usual. Just adjust the laces, and then you will be good to go.
Ventilation
There is nearly no ventilation. They have some mesh attached to the tongue area, but it doesn’t help with the airflow. However, no ventilation would help break the shoe, so it is not a total loss. If ventilation is not a problem for you, then you are good to go. The fit and comfort win over the ventilation, but ultimately, it’s the customer’s priority.
Support
The arch support is one of the best features of these sneakers, according to some customers. The overall fit and lockdown provide great support. NBA players wear these shoes all the time. They are many players’ favorite because of the great support and grip. Air Jordan XII brings something for every customer.
