Even though many sneakerheads are already prepping their wallets for the plethora of incredible Nike and Jordan releases that will take place next year, there are still a handful of eagerly awaited pairs that will drop before the end of 2024. One such pair is the SoleFly x Air Jordan 12 “Cafecito,” a partnership honouring Miami’s Cuban coffee culture through its distinctive details and rich, indulgent colour scheme.

A Closer Look At The Design

The shoe includes several references to the Latin tradition of sharing a cup of coffee, particularly in relation to the Latin community in Miami. The first feature is the upper’s porcelain-coloured cracked leather design, intended to represent the feel of a used ceramic cup or the styrofoam texture of Colada cups, typically used to pour smaller Cuban cafecitos.

The mudguard is then made of a buttery soft brown leather that was inspired by the smoothness and richness of a well-brewed cafecito. Brown details then flow throughout the sneaker, touching up the sole unit, branding, and heel tabs. Not to mention the copper Jumpman overlay, which is glossy and suggestive of an old-fashioned espresso machine. And to complete this exquisite homage to Latin culture, the outsoles have pattern details modelled after the familiar look of Cuban tiles. No doubt, this sneaker will be at the top of everyone’s wish lists this festive season.

SoleFly x Air Jordan 12 “Cafecito” Release Details

If you’re among those interested, look out for this enticing sneaker blend to release on December 6, 2024. SoleFly will be the only place to purchase a pair, with the expected retail price set at around $225 USD for men’s sizes. 

Other options worth keeping an eye on this Holiday season include the A Ma Maniere x Nike Air Force 1 Low “While You Were Sleeping,” the Swarovski x Nike Air Max Plus “Pimento,” and the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue.” So, remember to follow us here at Sneaker Fortress for more sneaker drops and reviews.
