Jordan 12 Retro Bloodline Black Varsity Red CT8013-003

After being pulled from the 2025 calendar and quietly shelved while the OG Flu Game took its place, the Jordan 12 Retro Bloodline finally lands on May 23, 2026 under style code CT8013-003. The Bloodline name first surfaced on an Air Jordan 1 in 2019, and this AJ12 picks up that black-and-red thread without falling back on a straight Bred reissue. Tinker Hatfield's original 1996 silhouette stays intact: the quilted leather mudguard, radiant sun stitching across the upper, and the lockdown lacing setup that made the AJ12 the first Jordan to run Zoom Air. Black tumbled leather covers most of the shoe, with Varsity Red pulled into small but deliberate places — the metallic top eyelets, the TPU Jumpman shield, the heel 23, and the outsole tip. A debossed leather heel tab replaces the model's usual woven stripe, which is the kind of detail long-time collectors clock immediately. For anyone who tracked the colorway through its delays and resurfacing, the Bloodline reads as the kind of pair worth waiting on — quiet on the surface, sharp in the details.
