Jordan Brand released the Air Jordan 12 “Fireside” on Saturday, October 24, at $215 for men’s sizes. Kids’ sizes were first dated for October 31, a week later, but Nike’s own listings for them are now on hold with no date. Feature ran the big kids’ pair as a draw instead, which has already closed.
Cream leather, Cacao nubuck
The official colorway is Light Orewood Brown and Cacao Wow. The upper is cream tumbled leather with the 12’s sunrise stitching lines running up from the midsole. The mudguard swaps the usual leather for a soft brown nubuck in Cacao Wow.
The brown carries down into the outsole, which sits under a cream midsole panel with the Jumpman wordmark on the shank. Up top, the lace loops are finished in a copper tone, and the insoles and outsole carry a deep red Jumpman. Underneath, it keeps the 12’s full-length Zoom Air unit.
If it reminds you of the SoleFly “Cafecito” 12 from 2024, that’s fair: cream and brown is a familiar palette on this shoe. The Fireside is a general Jordan Brand release, though, not a boutique collab.
Can you still get a pair?
Yes, in most men’s sizes, on Nike’s product page (it launched on SNKRS) and at Jordan Brand retailers including Foot Locker and Finish Line. Foot Locker’s launch calendar showed the men’s pair at $220, $5 more than Nike’s $215. Kids’ sizes were listed at $155 big kids, $95 little kids and $80 toddler, before Nike put them on hold. Nike GB doesn’t have a listing, and no UK date or £ price has been announced.
How it went
A full family Jordan retro on SNKRS and at the big chains was never a limited release, and it’s still around. Six days after the drop, Nike’s page still had most sizes, with a handful sold out. On November 2, Nike’s US stock had 12 of 18 sizes, all of them deep. More from the brand on our Jordan page.
It released a week after the Air Jordan 5 “Halloween”, which dropped on October 17, and six days before the women’s Air Jordan 3 “Fireside”.
