Jordan Brand is bringing a Ray Allen player exclusive back to retail with the Air Jordan 12 "Bucks" style code CT8013-103, sources report. Retail dates and prices differ across outlets, but the model appears widely planned for a fall general release.
Several outlets including Sports Illustrated and JustFreshKicks list September 12 as a release date, while House of Heat and an earlier Athlon Sports report penciled the drop for September 16 and another report mentioned September 19. Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers are named as sellers across those reports.
The shoe wears a Summit White tumbled leather upper with Gorge Green mudguards and tooling, black interior accents, and Fierce Purple highlights, according to Sneaker News, Houseofheat and JustFreshKicks. Mockups and retailer notes show iridescent metallic eyelets, a green Jumpman, and a purple shank plate peeking through the arch, while the heel carries a No. 23 detail.
Published price information varies. Some outlets listed a $205 adult retail price, while Athlon Sports and updated reports from JustFreshKicks peg the adult price at $215. Full family sizing is confirmed in several reports, commonly listed as grade school $155, preschool $95, and toddler $80.
History Impact And Market Response
The release revives a Bucks-colored AJ12 tied to Ray Allen’s early career and his player-exclusive lineage, as documented by Sports Illustrated and Athlon Sports. The retail pair adapts Allen’s original green-and-white PE, swapping gold hardware for iridescent or matte finishes depending on size, sources say.
Performance tech remains intact, with full-length Air Zoom cushioning and a carbon fiber midfoot shank plate noted by Sports Illustrated. Collectors are expected to compete at launch. Sports Illustrated and Athlon Sports predict sell-outs and advise those who miss retail to check StockX and GOAT.
Reports also note a slightly brighter Gorge Green than Allen’s original PE and that the release is not an official Milwaukee Bucks or NBA collaboration, as explained by JustFreshKicks. Early resale monitoring showed secondary market interest, with one report citing resale estimates around $263 before launch.
