Not only is Jordan Brand celebrating the Air Jordans' 40th anniversary by bringing back several iconic Jordan 1 colorways in 2025, but a popular non-OG Jordan 12 is reportedly coming back next year too.
According to @zSneakerheadz on Instagram, the "French Blue" Air Jordan 12 will return to shelves next summer. The style originally released in April 2004 and was intended to be a Wizards-inspired color scheme for Michael Jordan's final run in Washington. Jordan would retire in 2003, however, a year before the sneaker's release.
The "French Blue" Air Jordan 12 was rereleased in 2016 (pictured above) and as a golf shoe in 2022.
At the time of writing, the 2025 retro of the "French Blue" Air Jordan 12 is scheduled to release in full-family sizing on Aug. 16. Check back soon for official updates.
