Jordan Brand took the liberty of showcasing their forthcoming Summer 2022 Air Jordan retro collection on SNKRS Live last month but one of the releases that were left out in the preview was this new Air Jordan 12 style coming soon.

Shown here from @Memorylanebhm on Instagram is the kids-exclusive “Emoji” Air Jordan 12 colorway that’s currently scheduled to hit shelves in June. The base of the color scheme is drawing comparisons to Carmelo Anthony’s Denver Nuggets-inspired Jordan 12 PE that dropped in 2016 as seen with this pair’s two-tone white and University Blue makeup. This style’s standout elements are the emoji graphics that cover the entirety of the sock liner, the heel counter, and the footbed. A solid University Blue tooling wraps up the look of the shoe below.

Per @zSneakerheadz, this “Emoji” Air Jordan 12 colorway is dropping exclusively in kid’s sizing on June 1 but release details have not yet been announced by Jordan Brand.
