The Air Jordan 12 Utility is a new version of a 1996 classic. On the outside, it doesn’t look like they changed much, but the outsole speaks for itself. With Nike’s new Move to Zero campaign, this is one of the first Air Jordans, retro or not, that joins the ranks. The tongue was tweaked as well and the beautiful layers of this silhouette have been muted. If you’re looking for a blend of the new and the nostalgia, you’ve found the right shoe.
