After starting off as a friends-and-family hookup for Michigan Wolverines athletes with only 50 pairs circulated, Jordan Brand finally dropped a retail version in 2018. We’re glad they did. There’s never been a better sneaker made to be worn with a Michigan Wolverines football jersey. Let’s talk sneakers.

There are two Michigan 12s and the difference matters. The player exclusive came first, and the shoe most people can actually buy is the June 2018 general release under BQ3180-407.
Pricing scatters hard across platforms on this one, so the style code is the thing to search rather than the name.
If you’re looking at grabbing a Bryce Underwood, Denard Robinson, Charles Woodson or another former Michigan great’s jersey, this is the perfect sneaker to rock with it. You’ll have to get your money together because you can expect to pay at least $300 for any available sizes.
