Air Jordan 12 Retro "Cherry" High-Top Sneakers - White & Red

Crisp white panels and a rich red lower overlay give the Air Jordan 12 Retro “Cherry” its unmistakable two-tone look. Radiating stitched lines, silver-tone lace hardware, and contrasting black branding bring definition to a high-top silhouette that makes a strong focal point for everyday outfits.

Styling inspiration

Pair them with dark straight-leg jeans and a white tee to let the red panels take center stage, or add a black jacket to echo the collar and tongue details. For a relaxed weekend meet-up, a simple outfit gives the sculpted high-top shape and white-and-red contrast room to stand out.
