***Official-Jordan XII 12 Thread-New Releases***

[redblack35]

I like them personaly but 250??? i wish this will be 190 in europe... but if is not, my money will be save to try to get the 12 OVO black.

The 12s have always looked like they wanted to be so much more. Then tinker said f it, gotta go, thisll have to do.

He obviously just to the concept of the 11 and took it a step further, but seemed to compromise the design right at the end of it and left it as a giant premature birth.

Look at it.

You can tell that the carbon fiber was originally wrap around the midfoot, that zig zag pattern is supposed to contine onto the jumpman tab, which shouldve been a continuous part of the carbon plate to begin with. the grooves in the rubber that wrap over it are clearly supposed to be cut out and the zig zag is supposed to be seen through the cut out grooves then rise past it. The plastic jumpman tab shouldnt be there. That carbon fiber plate was clearly supposed to cradle your midfoot and be one piece with one continuous zig zag design. I woildnt be surprised if Tinker wrote jumpman there as a placeholder for a small actual jumpman logo. He sucks at drawing it and probably couldnt draw one that small while being recognizable.

The rubber shouldve been translucent like the 11s. The pods on the sole at the heel and forefoot shouldve been opaque taxi yellow. The front foam midsole shouldve been white, along with the rear part. I like the two different textures though.

The white leather upper shouldve been the white mesh from the 11. the black reptile leather should had a super high gloss finish resembling patent leather.

The strip on the heel is white with a black square up top with a taxi jumpman in it. The 23 on the sole is taxi.

The lining is black.

Jumpman on the tongue stays black.

Jumpman on the toe is white.

Id have to change the zigzag pattern color to solid black like the 11s on the plate.



Someone please photoshop this.

i'm so glad they didn't come out as you described/pictured, i'd have to have a diff fav AJ, i'm not a fan of translucent soles espc on jordans, and if you want XIs so bad go buy XIs leave my XIIs alone they are great how they came out and without a doubt the BEST AJ IN THE SERIES.....IMHO

I just sketched it out. Tyey wouldve looked fast and sleek. And the mesh wouldve made them lightweight performance beasts. One day ill do a proper sketch and paint it to show you how sick these could look.

Air Jordan 12 CNY
White/Black-Varsity Red
881427-122
January 28, 2017
$250

The press release I read on these indicated they would be limited QS

They will be packaged in a glossy white box with the Chinese letters on the outside.

 

[nikerider]

I was told the Chinese symbol on the tonque, ‘貳拾’ translates to "12".

If wrong, my apologies, I don't read Chinese.

[carolinakickg]

As long as people pay it, JB gonna get as much as they can.

I don't think it does.

I don't think it does.

Depends on which letter you start with. ‘拾貳’ is 12 in Chinese, which is the shoe model; ‘貳拾’ is 20 in Chinese, stand for the 20th anniversary since JB entered into Chinese Market. In addition, 12s were the first shoes JB brought to Chinese Market, which make both "12" and "20" make sense.

nah i'm good and i'm not big on mesh, one of the biggest reasons i don't like 90% of the XIs, only own the bred XIs and the 72-10 XIs and i really want to paint both of their midsoles a diff color because i hate white midsoles on mostly black shoes

receipts can be faked or come with fake shoes, look at the feedback of the seller, compare pics to authentics, do a legit check in the legit check thread and if you feel it's worth go for it, for me i have a i won't pay over $50 from retail price on non-limited shoes but that's me and what they're worth to me
