Retailer images of the Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” surfaced on October 7, and sneaker press now has it pencilled in for Saturday, January 23, 2027, at $215. Jordan Brand hasn’t announced it, and Sneaker News calls the date tentative.
What we know
- Style code CT8013-401, colorway Obsidian/White-University Blue-French Blue.
- Obsidian-blue leather upper with a white pebbled toe wrap, white midsole and laces, and metallic silver top eyelets, per the retailer images reported by Sneaker News and Sole Retriever.
- It’s one of the 12’s original colorways, last retroed in 2012. The 12 first released in 1996, so its 30th anniversary is this year; a January 2027 drop would land just after it.
What we don’t
- The date and price are expected, not listed: January 23 and $215 come from press reports, and Hypebeast’s spec box says January 27.
- Which retailer the images came from, and whether it gets full family sizing (HotNewHipHop expects it).
It follows the Air Jordan 12 “Fireside” on October 24. More from the brand on our Jordan page.
If you missed the 2012 pair, this is the 12 to budget for in January.
