Air Jordan 2012 First look.

Wow, The Air Jordan line is officially over!!!! That is a sad state of affairs, Unbelievably bad looking shoe. I refuse to believe that that shoe will grow on people like Jordans usually do. That is a terrible design, an the front looks like the VC Shox 5. I havent bought jordans since the 23's an that was a mistake. But this is the worst Jordan I have ever seen.

But I am curious to know what gimmick they're going to use to try and sell these. Seems like those panels oer the fly wire part and in some way interchangeable 

 

[eltouha]

why did they take the horrible db iv colour combo (black, blue and lime green)? and that looks to be the saddle design again.

are we looking at two different shoes, or are those panels removeable?

I don't think they try with anything non-retro anymore because they know it will just be looked at as Team Jordans and no high schooler will think they're "cool"

Can't blame them, honestly can't see myself dropping 150 on a pair of Melos or Fly Wades

Although I'm pretty sure those new Melos would get hella love if they were the new Lebron 9s...

So all this wasn't a joke after all?

Brah it's not even a competition

, the 2011 take it easily, all the others have been crap. They put a high heel on one

, a damn hole in another 

, and these, these just look wack

back in the 90's....

roughly a month before release day of the All new air jordan signiture shoe, you get the Footlocker catalogue to see what they were going to look like ! it was like Xmas for "jordan heads" , now its just dissapointment after dissapointment with these early online pics.
i can appreciate the 2011's but didnt love them enough to buy a pair.  

This 2012 shoe is missing that "X-factor" that the sig line oozes .

I did say the 2010's were ugly as hell and would never buy, but once i tried them on, i couldnt believe how comfy they were and ended up buying a pair, so anything is possible.

 

but i dont think these will be on my list for 2012.... not even at outlet prices.

 

[vabigpoppa]

i literally laughed out loud at those shoes.

 

[jayzrdead]

Ok the new pic definitely just changed things A LITTLE they have some potential but I'm sure they will still fall short.

The use of newer tech in a sig Jordan sneaker, a step outside the box in design...now this is the JB that I remember.

I'm impressed with this one.
I'll definitely give one of the nicer colorways a try.

I'm glad they did not recycle the silhouette of the 2011.  And if they are pushing the envelope technology-wise (as they should), good for JB.

I'll pass judgement once I see them in person/try them on.  I thought the 2011 pics looked blah at first then I ended up liking them in person.

Same here. While the AJ 2011 are great shoes in both look and technology wise, i'm glad that they did not just make the 2012 based on 
the sihouette of the 2011. Now these look interesting in that darker colorway and the Jumpman at the heel is not so ridiculous

huge compared to the early pics of the white/charcoal sample. How about a black/charcoal model with red clear outsoles?

 

[5am6oody72]

New pics look even worse IMO. Who is the lead designer on these? I hope he doesn't do the 2013's.

 

[zero 0123]

I can honestly say I will not buy a pair of these...

I never thought I'd say it but I'm moving on to the Lebron/Kobe line and leaving JB in the dust.

 

[ijumpman]

Well, I'm still unsure what to think about these, but that new pics is a huge improvement from the ones we saw before.

 

[rutgersjetfan]

I don't see how this is pushing the envelope at all technologically. Thus far it looks like they just altered the Lebron 8 V/2's in terms of the upper.

 

[decepticon0]

They didn't recycle the 2011 silhouette, but it looks like they recycled the Foamposite One.

 

[freshair]

they look like true flights

 

[619destroyer858]

another PASS sorry!!

 

[freelythinkingmind]

god.............

 

[heyitszachm]

trash...

 

[flaco425]

Not much of a WOW factor here.

 

[greatabyss43]
