The Air Jordan 12 “French Blue 2.0” presents a fresh update to the iconic “French Blue” colorway, which originally debuted in 2004. While this new version keeps the spirit of the original, it introduces subtle changes that elevate it into a new classic. Set for release in Fall 2025, this sneaker is poised to make a significant impact.

The original “French Blue” gained fame through Kobe Bryant during his sneaker free agency. This updated version honors that legacy while incorporating modern elements. The colorway combines White, French Blue, Metallic Silver, and Varsity Red, creating a clean yet bold look. The upper features premium White leather, complemented by a signature mudguard in French Blue. The mudguard now comes in either suede or nubuck, adding a soft contrast to the leather upper, which marks a shift from the traditional leather used in past releases.

A key update is the Varsity Red plate accenting the side panels, adding a vibrant touch. This red detail is mirrored in the tongue branding. The interior lining is now a rich Blue, and the rubber outsole continues with a predominantly French Blue design, maintaining a cohesive look.
