The Jordan 12 Retro Twist (TD) is a stylish and scaled-down iteration of the iconic Air Jordan 12 silhouette, designed specifically for toddlers. Supple leather is used to construct the upper. The design is characterized by its distinct stitching patterns that run across the upper.

The predominantly white upper is complemented by contrasting black accents on the outsole, midsole, laces, and the iconic "Jumpman" logo on the tongue. The sole unit of the Jordan 12 Retro Twist for toddlers provides ample cushioning and comfort for young feet. The rubber outsole is crafted to provide traction and grip, promoting stability and preventing slips.

One of the most prominent features of the Jordan 12 Retro Twist (TD) is its midsole design. The midsole is divided into segments, each adorned with a unique texture that resembles reptile skin. This distinctive design element pays homage to the original Air Jordan 12's inspiration drawn from the Japanese "Nisshoki" flag, symbolizing the sun's rays. On July 24th, 2021, the shoe became available for sale at a retail price of $60.
