These will probably sit on shelves like the Nubuck's. I could imagine them getting discounted multiple times as well. I would be more concerned about theFlu Game 12's and especially the White/Varsity Red 12's.

There is nothing wrong with the insole performance wise, its what is on the insole that is causing a delay

I bet they are delayed to increase hype on the shoe, and then more people will want them because WOW they're delayed now I WANT EM'....
the moms and pops will now be able to sell those pairs that have been on shelves, and major retailers will be able to get off those pairs becasue they areXII's and they were "delayed"

it's because of the Japanese symbol which I think is a millitary symbol.

If you really need to cop on RD just visit your local Mom & Pop or cop off an internet site. No big deal unlessyou're sitting on a gift card/coupon at a big box retailer or were getting a hookup...

The Rising Sun Flag is the military flag of Japan[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rising_Sun_Flag#cite_note-FS-0[/sup]. It was used as the ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy and thewar flag of the Imperial Japanese Army until the end of World War II.It is also presently the ensign of the JapanMaritime Self-Defense Force and the war flag of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. It is also waved during the Japanese New Year and in sporting events.
Nike has recalled the Jordan 12 "Rising Sun" until further notice due to the logo on the insoles.
The Japanese feel it is disrespectful to be "walking" on their flag. One option is that Nike would send every store new replacement insoles and movethe release date to sometime in November. So far that is all the information i have. But there is no such thing as "Bad Press" so if they doeventually release expect for hype.

Korean Jordan heads complained...it supposed to be only international release it says..
News surfaced the other day that many Korean sneakerheads were planning on boycotting the release of the Rising Sun edition of the Air Jordan XII because they were unhappy with themilitary implications of the "Rising Sun" flag on the insoles. Apparently, Korean collectors got pretty organized in a hurry, starting a petition andgetting various media organizations involved. The noise made by the uprising was enough to force Jordan Brand's hand into producing an alternate plainWhite insole for the Asian release of the shoe in an effort to show some sensitivity towards the issue. Keep reading after the jump to see some more pics andto compare the new insole with the original "Rising Sun" version. Via Shoesholic.

Amazing how something apparently innocuous could cause such an uproar. I applaud those who took a stand against a symbol that's offensive to them.
