To commemorate the FIBA Basketball World Cup hosted by China, the Nike Air Jordan 12 "FIBA" features the colors on the Chinese national flag and complements it with a white base. The signature stitched full grain leather upper is in white, accentuated by metallic gold. Vibrant red appears on the sockliner, Jumpman logo and heel. Five Chinese characters meaning "Love The Game" read below the heel strap.
