Released in a plethora of colorways, the Air Jordan 2012 Lite is not only a great option for amateur level teams looking for a sneaker to match their uniform colors, but also a suitable choice for pro-level players. Created as a sleeker, more lightweight version of the original Air Jordan 2012, the Lite model strips down the unnecessary weight, resulting in an explosive mid-top. But don't let the model's "Lite" tag fool you into thinking that it's not as equipped as its predecessor. By dropping the "Choose Your Flight" swappable cushioning setup of the initial 2012 and modifying the Flywire, the 2012 Lite offers the same performance traits at a lighter weight and best of all, lower box price. Check out the Air Jordan 2012 Lite today.
