Air Jordan 12 Retro Cherry (TD)

White, red, and the construction of the 12

The Air Jordan 12 Retro "Cherry" (TD) brings one of the brand's most iconic models to a child's last. The upper combines natural leather with synthetic material, and the white-and-red color blocking follows the fan-like pattern embossed on the vamp—this very detail on the 12 is described as being inspired by Japanese fans. The silver lace eyelets and Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel are replicated just like in the adult version. The bottom is rubber, with a tread that provides good grip on smooth surfaces.

How to choose the right size for a child

The shoes are available in sizes 17, 18.5, 19.5, 21, 22, 23.5, 25, 26, and 27. Instead of relying on age, measure the foot length and check it against the size chart, as it is the only way to avoid being off by two sizes. The 12 has a stiff heel and a high collar, providing plenty of support for the foot, but it requires the laces to be tightened properly. A toe allowance of about a centimeter is enough for a few months of wear without causing slipping.

What it goes with

The white-and-red combination is bold on its own, so the rest of the outfit can be understated: a gray tracksuit, navy jeans, or a simple hoodie. The pair also works as a "nicer" shoe for family outings, because leather returns to its box-fresh look after a quick wipe down more easily than suede. You can find more options in the same scale among kids' shoes, and a narrower selection can be found under Air Jordan for kids.
