The upcoming Air Jordan 12 “Bucks” sees Jordan Brand once again drawing inspiration from the past, and early pictures suggest a colorway that echoes the Air Jordan 12 PE Ray Allen wore with the Milwaukee Bucks back in the early 2000s.
First introduced in 2004, Allen’s original pair has held its status as a collector favorite for a considerable time. This is especially true when you look back at older sets before player exclusives flooded the web. While this release isn’t officially connected to Allen, the inspiration is obvious.
Built upon a clean White leather upper, the shoe incorporates a deep Green mudguard that spans the lower half of the silhouette reminiscent of a Bucks-inspired shoe. Jordan Brand updates the design with metallic Purple touches on the eyelets and midfoot plate, plus Purple branding on the tongue.
While this retail edition shares much of the design with Allen’s original PE, it omits his custom heel lettering. Still, the design offers a clear tribute to the Jordan Brand’s early Player Exclusive era, which continues to influence modern Retro releases.
