Even if you weren't a huge fan of the Air Jordan XII when they came out, you had to respect what they represented. The first Air Jordan to feature Zoom Air, and the first to be released as a product of Jordan's own brand, they were also the first to not feature a Swoosh anywhere, not even on the insoles.
