"The beauty of imperfection fades to perfection," reads the business card-sized explanation that accompanies this new pair of Jordan 12s. Made with Indigo, one of the oldest, most traditional forms of fabric dying, Jumpman and compamy want you to know that not only will each pair differ slightly striaght out of the box, but over time each particular pair will fade in its own way giving an ever-changing aged look that embraces the ancient proverb above.

At first glance, this AJ12 Retro seems to mimic the OG Obsidian a little too closely. But by replacing the traditionally leather uppers with nubuck, the pair boasts a special wear-away upper, revealing a unique (and as of now unknown) design underneath.

If a size is not listed, it is sold out.
