Been rocking my 'French Blues' in anticipation of these releasing next week. I noticed that my 03 Flints and Frenchs are a size 11 even tho Im a 11.5 so maybe these will run big too?? Hopefully I can try a pair on before I purchase. Good luck to everyone looking to copp tho!

Yes the white and reds sat and they are a lot less popular then these. And these did not retro 3x's this will be the second time that they retro.
First released in 97 retroed in 2004 and then 2012 so these have not been as overdone as other retros and have been on people's radar for a min now. 

Will sell out in 2-3 days guaranteed no way they sit.

2 to 3 days??? I wish!

INSTANT SELL OUT! plus they limited

  

Im not even going to acknowledge that BS

 

[hoardinjordanz]

anyone think these will be harder to cop than the wc 4s? seems like its gonna be an escalating epidemic need to get in a sneaker spot this summer

 

[bigbrandon]

I'll post plenty of comparison pics as soon as my camera charges. Just realized the battery was dead so sorry for the crappy phone pics. Just a few quick obvious difference 


Tongue is definitely not the nice padded tongue that some said before....

 

leather is also thin but with all this said the quality is not horrible. It's one of the nicer retros. Better pics in about half n hour or so...

 

[da bidness]

These will forsure sell out because when they were retried in 94 they sold out quick so now white more youngsters on the hyphe it's goin to be hard if you don't do hw !!!!

 

[bence23]

These probably my last go round as far as jordans. Excited and nervous. I'll unretire for them for the columbias christmas 2013 though.

 

[dakid2301]

Where is the Playoff 12 apperal? I have yet to see any and I always buy like a shirt or two  to match pretty much with every release

 

[dakid2301]

They will sellout instantly no doubt in my mind

To each his own, but do you really need a matching t-shirt with a black and white shoe?

Nice comparison pics, could you clear up the sizing discussion do they run .5 big or true to size

 

[spizike231]

Getting anxious for release.. I already know that heads out here will be going to hard for these as with every other GR. Only way to beat them is by their own game. 

hopefully it'll just be a long night/morning of sitting in my chair. Sigh. 

 

[160jordansdeep]

got a pair for $190.00

better quality then the early release i saw 2 months ago

better leather though not the best and no glue smell like the early release b grades

only bad thing I could not get a 9 so I had to settle for a 8.5
this is the 3rd and I hope the last time this year I either had to go up or down a size

in all my years of buying/collecting shoes I never had this problem

also box is very cheap

 

[kalon2000]

could you divulge where you got them for $190...im willing to pay $200 to get them now.

 

[bigbrandon]

If youve purchased any 12's in the past few years quality is the same. Same smooth leather same thin ankle but the shape of the shoe and the shoe itself is a classic. I'm happy with them. Fitting is similar to the 4's so if you can't get your normal size a half size down would fit perfect....
same lining



box with thumbprint



hang tag



recent 12's



same cut same quality. The 12's quality besides probably the CDP is never horrible but when I put them next to my all of my pairs of 04 12's you can see the difference but I honestly think we should stop comparing them to '04. They will never be the same. Just the way it is now.... If. Anyone has any request I'll gladly put up pics just didn't want to clutter. We all know what they look like by now.

 

[bigbrandon]

Yeah I also had to drop $190 for my pair and I usually never have to pay over retail. Oh well a few extra dollars for no camping no head ache was well worth it. Helpfully the resize on those pics kicks in

 

[futuredhughes]

This video review, from nightwing23, has some good comparisons between the OG Playoff 12s and the Flue Games from '05.

Compares differences in shape, colors and materials.

Check it out.

So we should go a half size down from our normal size? (Start at 7:00 mark)

 

[crh1979]

a week a way and building up steam for sure

 

[indianabound]

Thanks for the pics.

Honestly I don't think $190 is bad considering release date is the 21st.

These will sell out and I believe in the days after the release prices will be around $230-250, any one agree?
