The Drop
The Jordan 12 Retro "Field Purple" (CT8013-057) brings a bold, unconventional colorway to Tinker Hatfield's luxury-inspired silhouette. Sporting a deep purple leather upper with black accents and the iconic tumbled mudguard, this release breaks from the traditional Bulls palette while keeping that premium 12 aesthetic intact. It's one of those sleepers that flies under hype radar but speaks volumes to collectors who know their Js.
Resell Verdict
Currently trading around $305 on average, with asks ranging from $221 to $667 depending on size and condition. With 77 weekly orders, the Field Purple shows steady demand without the price volatility of OG colorways. Resell's holding stable—nicht spektakulär, but a safe flip with modest margins for patient sellers. Don't expect explosive growth, but won't brick either.
Fake Tells
- ▸Tumbled leather texture: Reps often miss the buttery, pebbled grain on the purple panels—feels plasticky instead
- ▸Hologram tag: Check the Jumpman hologram on the tongue; fakes show blurry edges and poor reflectivity
- ▸Carbon fiber shank: Authentic 12s have visible, crisp weave patterns on the midsole plate—bootlegs use printed graphics
Who It's For
Ideal for the Jordan head who wants wearability without breaking the bank on Taxi or Flu Game money. Perfect for someone building a rotation beyond hyped drops—solid autumn/winter flex with enough purple to stand out at the Sneaker-Stammtisch.
Sizing & Fit
Jordan 12s typically run true to size with a snug, structured fit thanks to that stiff leather upper.
