Air Jordan 2012 First look.

[supa vegetto]

And I thought the 2009's were ugly..

I really hope these a last minute makeover.. but from the looks of it I doubt it.

Which is why they are making up their losses on sig shoes with price hikes on the retros.

I also like that you can customize these with many different options. You like the high top feel with a max air insole? No problem...You like 'em low with zoom air? Or how about high with zoom? Then throw in some extra flare with different laces...The possibilities are endless..

Cons: I'm still not a fan of the horse saddle look. They look like they're inspired by some kinda of cowboy boot/wingtip shoe hybrid. I can't wait to hear what the inspiration is behind these. I also don't like the added toe cap. Jordans usually have a clean toe and this just looks forced.

The shoe has potential, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see these in person.

great points! 

love my 2011s

 imagine the size of the box these come in

I LOVE WHEN JORDAN BRAND SAVES ME MONEY

 

[misterj]

worst piece of !*+$ jordan brand has ever called a signature shoe

its weird how this brand can have so many shelf sitter flops in such a short time frame and still keep the same team, yet a head coach with a losing record can kick rocks after one season

these look like a reincarnation of that womens version of the XIIIs that came out in like 97-98

ATTN: TINKER, MARK SMITH, GENTRY, anyone who had their hand in this shoes, AND WHOEVER ALLOWS THESE GUYS TO KEEP THEIR JOBS:  #*!# YOU!  Their time is obviously up AND BEEN UP for a while now.

YOU SAW HOW WELL YOUR $170 JORDAN 2011S DID AND YOU STILL DECIDE TO RAISE THE PRICE TO $223?

Must say the 2012 jordans show one thing:
Jb is undecided how their next air jordan
Should look like and releases a shoe where
Its up to the customer to decide how their
Shoe should look like with that setup
Options and releasing 3 different versions.
in the past u could customize slightly
Like removing the shroud on the
16, tge midfoot cover on the 17,
The ankle velcrostrap on the 20.
But this is just hilarous.

Only the System of Flight version of the 2012 is retailing for $223. The Air, Quick and Explosive versions will retail for $180 (price increase due to inflation).

As for the 2011s they actually did pretty well from a sales perspective.

The $200+ price point for certain versions of signature shoes will not only be Jordans, expect a Kobe and a LeBron to retail for over $200 next year as well.

15s were great on the court...despite the fact that the sole ripped off my first pair after 30mins of playing in them.

In my opinion, the flop 3 are:1. Aj 20122. Aj 20103. Aj XV

 

[dmoney82]

The XV's were not that bad, The colorways saved that shoe.

Just when it seemed like they were headed back in a good direction with the 2011 they just said @$% it ... give em 3 insoles and 2 changeable booties, they'll love it.

Tinker's 'MJ's new love for horses' inspiration is the worst load of crap I've ever heard in my life.
