A new unboxing video has surfaced of the Air Jordan 12 "Bucks," offering the cleanest look yet ahead of its official release. The pair is scheduled to release on September 19th for $215.
White tumbled leather covers most of the upper, keeping the base clean and true to the Air Jordan 12's original build. Deep green leather wraps the mudguard and outsole, giving the pair its Milwaukee-inspired identity. Metallic silver details finish the collar, adding a subtle shine to the overall look.
This colorway traces back to Ray Allen's playing days with the Milwaukee Bucks. Jordan Brand originally made it as a player exclusive for Allen during his time with the franchise. It never received a proper retail release until now.
The video also gives a closer look at the tongue detailing, showing small lettering stitched into the eyelets. It's a subtle touch that longtime collectors will likely appreciate once the pair is available to examine up close.
Full family sizing is expected at launch. Pairs will be available through Nike SNKRS, Foot Locker, Finish Line, and other select retailers. With the video already circulating ahead of release, expect anticipation to keep building over the next month.
Air Jordan 12 “Bucks”
Ray Allen was one of the early names tied to Jordan Brand's roster, earning a run of player exclusives throughout his career. His Milwaukee-era pairs became some of the most sought-after PEs from that stretch of the early 2000s.
The Air Jordan 12 "Bucks" stayed unreleased for over two decades, existing only in game-worn photos and collector lore. Bringing it to retail gives fans their first real shot at owning a piece of that history.
This release also lines up with the Air Jordan 12's 30th anniversary, adding extra weight to an already stacked year of throwback colorways. Jordan Brand has leaned heavily into team and player-driven storytelling across its 2026 lineup.
For longtime Bucks fans and Jordan Brand collectors alike, this release closes the gap on one of the more overlooked PEs in the archive.
