NK-AJ12 Retro Black/Red 40~47.5 basketball

The NK-AJ12 Retro in Black/Red is not merely a sneaker—it's a piece of basketball history reborn for modern lifestyle wear. Originally released in 1996 and worn by Michael NK-AJ during his championship season, this iconic silhouette blends premium leather, sleek lines, and the unmistakable 'Flu Game' colorway that has become a grail for collectors and casual fans alike.

Comfort & Fit

Flex grooves in the outsole let the NK-AJ12 Retro Black/Red .5 bend naturally at the toes, so your stride never feels fought by the shoe.

The NK-AJ12 Retro Black/Red .5 works for wide feet better than most because the toe box keeps its structure instead of squeezing inward.
