Vol. 46: A Special Colorway Debuts for the AJ12. A Look Back at the History of Atmos and “Clear Jade.”

With a vast number of new sneaker models released every day, there are so many attractive options that it’s hard to know which one to choose… This monthly series is designed to serve as a guide for those of you facing this dilemma. This time, we’re featuring the new “Air Jordan 12 Retro ”Clear Jade.“” How did “Clear Jade”—one of the signature colors of “atmos”—come to be, and how has it been passed down through the years? We asked Takafumi Kojima and Yuto Okajima to look back on past models.

A fresh new look, across generations.

Fuinam: Looking back on it now, it’s clear that the color “Clear Jade” has been used across a variety of categories.

Kojima: That's right. I think this is the first model in a long time that really ties into the Clear Jade storyline.

Okajima: I think people of my generation are about the only ones who just barely remember “the heyday of Clear Jade” firsthand. To today’s teens and people in their early 20s, it probably seems quite fresh.

Fuinam: It's true that there are a lot of sneakers in subdued colors like black and gray these days.

Kojima: When you think of sneakers as part of an outfit, you tend to gravitate toward colors that are easy to match. But isn’t it okay to let your feet stand out a little? I feel like sneakers back in the day had more of that playful spirit.

Okajima: The “Air Jordan 12 Retro ”Clear Jade’” is definitely a pair where the shoes take center stage. For those familiar with past Jade releases, it’s a must-have for their collection, while it looks fresh to younger generations who aren’t familiar with them. That’s what I find interesting about it.

Fuinam: Looking back at the history of Clear Jade, this “Air Jordan 12” seems even more interesting.

Kojima: That's right. The “Air Jordan 12 Retro ”Clear Jade'" is scheduled for an exclusive release at "atmoscon 2026," followed by a general release starting November 23. If you're interested, be sure to check it out.
