One thing that made the original flint 12 so beautiful is that plush tumble leather, but we already know JB isn't putting that on em again. Some of this year's 12s have had a supple leather, but it looks flat and less defined. It's a shame they didn't drop the playoff again, not even gonna bother with that overpriced low next year. If this year's been any kind of preview of how 13s will be next year I'm gonna be broke all year again.

Wool?

 

[toneloc2002]

Wool?

Thought wool was confirmed for 10/8

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Wool?

The weird thing about that release is that the price is $200. Could it be because i's a premium (not pinnacle) release or is Jordan Brand increasing the pricing? 

 

[toughmoney]

damn $200 for wools? they are dope tho. I will get. I wonder how many more nylon and wool colorways JB will drop (since they like to flood everything)

anyone try running or balling in the neoprene 12's yet?  wondering how they'll look after some wear. 

I would like to know this also. They don't look like they would crease badly which would be a plus for me.

Nah, they just consider them "premium" since it's a new material. There's other retros dropping through the end of the year that are the usual $190.

True, just like those 13s a few years back.

so are these one of the hottest release of the summer the nylone 12s

 

[pmpdaddyrobford]

so are these one of the hottest release of the summer the nylone 12s

no, especially not wit that lace chabge and they didn't come out in the summer

 

[redrum3281]

no, especially not wit that lace chabge and they didn't come out in the summer

the lace change was alright and tech summer is not over til 22nd of Sept

 dang there's no reason to raise the price of the wools to $200 since the nylons stayed $190, though I suspect that there will be an increase of up to $250 for the all blues

 

 

[hassan16]

Retro 12s are 190 not 180. All blues better be $190 with that boo boo suede they gonna put on em there better not be a price increase.

Man they announced black OVO 12s in feb 2017 but what about white OVO 12s releasing? What happened to that

that $180 was a typo, and looking at the wool increase, how JB acts with their random price increases for no good reason, I wouldn't be surprised at all, as for the white ovo 12s I thought the current rumors were spring 2017, personally I think they should hold them for the 23rd yr anniversary with the more than likely cigar/champagne/celebration

The Jordan "Pull the Wool over our eyes" 12s price point is just that....price gouging. Not some "premium" price point or some kind of premium "Wool" material.

Check out the price of wool for instance. This pic is the latest one I could find on the net.

The price of polyester is in the same category as the cotton line.

When comparing leather, it gets tricky. Leather is not sold in the same matter. The hides are sold per square foot. So a little more digging and it comes out to less than wool per pound prices. My guesstimate is somewhere between wool and cotton prices. With synthetic leathers half the cost of real leather. So all these PU synthetic leather shoes should cost the same as cotton/polyester shoes.

Flu games, French blues at $190. (Assuming they're real leather)
Nylons at $190.
Wools at $200.

You would think.... either we are getting ripped off at the nylon price point. Or.... the Flus and FBs are synthetic leathers, which puts them in line with the nylons.


Check this faux leather.
View media item 2170516
Contents: 100% Vinyl

Fabric Weight: Heavyweight

Hand: Soft

Description: This upholstery weight, cotton flannel backed faux leather fabric has a soft hand and is perfect for upholstery, pillows and head boards.

Is that our beloved blk/red 'banned' 1 leather??
With an alleged 100k in existence, and the price point of the raw materials.... I think this is what we got. (imo)
Hence the funky chemical smell upon opening the box.
