Jordan Brand Introduces A Milwaukee Bucks Inspired Air Jordan 12 for Sept. 19

Jordan Brand introduces a Milwaukee Bucks inspired Air Jordan 12 on Sept. 19, adding a Bucks-themed entry to the Idols Become Rivals series. The Air Jordan 12 Retro Bucks carries the official nickname Idols Become Rivals and lands as a heritage release tied to Ray Allen.

Air Jordan 12 Retro Bucks

The shoe uses a Summit White/Gorge Green/Black/Fierce Purple colorway and arrives with a predominantly white leather upper. A reptile-textured Gorge Green mudguard and rubber outsole carry the design forward, while Fierce Purple shows up on the branding and on the outsole’s carbon fiber support shank.

That palette points back to former Bucks star Ray Allen, who is identified as the apparent inspiration behind the colorway. Michael Jordan and Allen faced off in 12 games, and this release gives Allen a Bucks-colored Air Jordan 12 for the first time after earlier Air Jordan player exclusives during his career.

Jordan Brand Release Details

The retro will sell through Nike’s Snkrs app and select Jordan Brand retailers, with a retail price of $215 and style code CT8013-103. The pair also adds an iridescent touch to the upper eyelets and lateral Jumpman TPU badge, keeping the look close to the brand’s recent heritage-driven framing without drifting from the Bucks theme.

The shoe first surfaced in October, and the Sept. 19 release turns that early look into a scheduled launch for buyers tracking the line. For anyone chasing this colorway, the path is straightforward: Snkrs, select Jordan Brand retailers, and a $215 price tag.

Ray Allen And Michael Jordan

The release links two names with a long NBA crossover, but the shoe’s draw is more specific than that history alone. Allen had several Air Jordan 12s during his career, yet he never had one built around Milwaukee colors until now, and that makes this pair the clearest Bucks tribute in the series.
