The often repeated claim that the Air Jordan 12 was inspired by a 19th century women's dress boot
Not verified. and therefore left out of every post here. It appears in several secondary write ups, but the fullest histories of the shoe name the Rising Sun flag and New York taxis and make no mention of a boot
