Jordan 12 Retro Fireside

Air Jordan 12 Retro "Fireside" (CT8013-105) – Holiday 2026

The Air Jordan 12 Retro "Fireside" landed on October 24, 2026 as part of Jordan Brand's Holiday 2026 lineup. Originally surfaced under the nickname "Eggnog," the shoe was officially rechristened "Fireside" — a name that suits its warm, earthy palette of Light Orewood Brown and Cacao Wow. The colorway draws visual comparisons to the two-tone blocking of classic "Flu Game" and "Playoff" editions, while cream tones through the upper, metallic brown eyelets, and a contrast midfoot plate give it its own distinct identity.

The upper pairs Cacao Wow nubuck on the toe and lateral forefoot panels with quilted Light Orewood Brown leather throughout the rest of the shoe — a construction rooted in Tinker Hatfield's original 1996 design, which drew inspiration from the Japanese Rising Sun flag and high-end women's dress boots. The radiating sunrise-inspired stitch lines on the upper are a hallmark of the silhouette, as is the embossed lizard-texture mudguard. Underfoot, a full-length Zoom Air unit sits within a Phylon midsole, backed by a carbon fiber midfoot shank for torsional stability — a technical package the Air Jordan 12 introduced to the Jordan signature line back at its original 1996 debut.
