THE original SPACE JAMS HAD “23”

The Air Jordan 12 "Blueberry" features “45” on the heel, but the pair Michael wore in the movie has “23”. This is a bit puzzling since Jordan Brand released a statement noting that the shoes were intended to be an exact replica of the pair from the film.

UNLIKE other RETROS, THE JUMPMAN POINTS LEFT

On the left shoe, the Jumpman logo points to the left. Every Retro release since 2006, with the exception of the “Wool”, has the Jumpman pointing to the right.

PEAKS AND VALLEYS

The Air Jordan 12 "Blueberry" mudguard also features tiny “peaks” along the edge. This may appear to be a manufacturing flaw, but it is, once again, a minor detail set to match the original from the film.

FIRST APPEARANCE BEFORE THE MOVIE

Michael Jordan first wore the “Space Jam” during the 1995 NBA Playoffs. Of course at the time, the film had not yet released, so the “Space Jam” nickname didn’t stick until after the film’s release.

JUMPMAN JUMPS OVER EVERYTHING

The Air Jordan 12 "Blueberry" will be Jordan Brand’s best selling shoe of the year. The production numbers are insanely high and the demand is evident among sneakerheads, 90s babies, and the general public alike. Alongside the shoes is a series of other footwear and apparel, which almost guarantees that Space Jam is poised to be a blockbuster affair for the brand.
