Air Jordan Jordan Legacy 312 Valentine's Day

A Valentine's Day Legacy 312 is a seasonal release on a hybrid silhouette, which is the most flexible combination the brand has. The 312 is assembled from detailing across the numbered line rather than reissued from a single original, so it can take a holiday palette without anyone accusing it of disrespecting an archive spec. That flexibility is a product of 1997, when the line was restructured as Jordan Brand, a standalone Nike division able to run a full calendar of apparel, accessories and seasonal product instead of one basketball model a year. Seasonal colourways are the commercial engine underneath the collector releases everyone talks about.
