Metallic Regal Hi-Top Sneakers

The Air Jordan 12 Gets a New Royalty Colorway

Jordan Brand introduces a new tonal iteration of the Air Jordan 12 sneaker model with the brand new Royalty colorway to join the roster. The shoes boast a regal theme with metallic touches across the hi-top silhouette for the season. The shoe retains the two-tonal color-blocking detail across the upper with the construction of tumbled leather materials making up the base.

It is done in a clean white color whereas the mudguards are detailed in black pebbled leather for tonal contrast. Black details also continue on to the laces, the interior lining, the lower molds, and the heel tabs. The aforementioned gold can be seen in the form of the debossed Jumpman badges, the heel and tongue branding, and eyestays.
