The radiant stitching—inspired by the Japanese "Rising Sun" flag—on the black pebbled leather base cascades upward in monochromatic threading.
The light gray iconic toecap and mudguard overlays add striking contrast. It wraps around the front and sides of the shoe, much like the design of a women's derby shoe.
Though these kicks are meant to commemorate baseball, they still feature silver Jumpman eyelets on the top two holes. There's another Jumpman on the tongue as well as the heel tab. Under this heel tab is more Jordan branding, including the motto "quality inspired by the greatest player ever." The bottom of the heel includes the number "23"—the number MJ wore on the court, not on the field.
The gray rubber outsole wraps around the shoe and includes a series of black traction pattern tread on the forefoot and heel. The midfoot is made of a white and gray pattern covered with gray rubber stripes.
The world rejoiced when the Black Cat made his return to basketball in 1995, but that hasn't erased his chapter in baseball lore. Grab a piece of history when you snag the Air Jordan 12 Retro "Black and Wolf Grey" on September 28 in men's, grade school kids', preschool kids', or toddler kids' sizes, online or at your local Hibbett store.
