A fan favourite returns. The Air Jordan 12 “French Blue” is stepping back into the spotlight for Fall 2025, bringing with it the same timeless appeal that made it an instant classic two decades ago. First released in 2004 and last seen in 2016, this colourway has become a cornerstone for Jordan 12 collectors. Its crisp white leather upper paired with a bold splash of French Blue on the mudguard creates a clean, confident look that remains one of the most wearable in the series.
What sets the “French Blue” apart is more than just its palette. Released shortly after Michael Jordan’s final NBA season with the Washington Wizards, the colours offer a subtle nod to the team's kit and mark the closing chapter of MJ’s playing career. Though never worn on court, the shoe has become an icon in its own right—beloved for its striking contrast, simple elegance and rich historical timing.
Also worn by the late Kobe Bryant during his free agency period during the 2000s, the Mamba was spotted matching the French Blue 12s with the old blue Los Angeles Lakers jersey on court. For fans of Kobe, this shoe is a niche touch point to an interesting period in his professional career. Arriving in an OG black, red and brown box but do not come with any extra laces
Set to release in Fall 2025, the reissue will set you back £190 from the Nike SNKRS app as well as select UK stockists. You can find out where to buy the Air Jordan 12 “French Blue” by keeping it locked to The Sole Supplier!
