Awesome infrared pair! I was thinking they would laser all the white leather like the XX's but I guess not.

Can't deny it how much people hate this shoes since it released. At first, i also doubted whether to get this shoes or not. When i see it in person, i quickly fall in love with the shoes. I bought the Air Jordan 2012 Wolf Grey Deluxe colorway, & I love it ever since! Its really a beautiful, crafted shoes. The shoes surely looks better than 2009, 2010 & 2011 imo. Its ain't that ugly as many people said. I don't know why so much hate on this shoes until some people goes as far as saying this 2012 is the ugliest signature shoes ever made by Jordans. Ya rite....

Not a fan of these at all. Im sure these would be great for the courts. But I rock Jordans for casual use. To ball, i'll stick with signature Nike's or Adidas D. Rose shoes.

Look in the buy/sell forum and you'll see. JB and Nike know that if you miss out you have basically no other option besides re-sellers, unless you get lucky with a random restock or return at a store you're SOL. The way they see it is if people are willing to pay 220+ for a dodo quality retro then most people shouldn't have a problem with paying $223 for a "high-end" quality shoe even with its gimmicks. Even when these shoes go on clearance/outlets re-sellers will buy them up and sell them for at least retail and JB still makes money. They don't lose either way. You have $95 KD's going for $200+, $140 Kobes going $200+, $170 Lebrons going for $220+ etc...The shoe game isn't what it used to be anymore. Most people now a days buy 2 pairs, one to keep and one to sell for profit. Can't hate but its the reason why prices are going up in JB/Nike. JB is trying to cut out the middle man(re-seller) by raising prices. I'm not justifying the increase in price but I do understand why they are doing it somewhat...hope that makes sense
Plus I only paid about $170 after using my vip cards so I didn't feel too bad
its not about any of that at all. with the deluxe versions your paying for the shoes, two sets of liners, the three insoles, two bags and the oversized box to hold it all, hence the higher pricetag. if you just purchase the regular model with one liner, one insole and the regular box then the price is $180 which is inline and even slightly less than some sig models in the past...

reviewed the eastbay sizing on these
they indicate the volts and unc fit true to size
it is the A, E and Q that they say go up a 1/2

Traction on these is a bit iffy on dusty courts. More so than most shoes i've experienced, first problem i've had with these since purchased.

Interesting concept, but there are a few flaws:
Firstly, they are indeed hideously ugly.
Secondly, they jacked up the price because they claim you are getting three shoes for the price of one. Which in one way is true since you get three insoles, but regardless of that, as soon as the soles wear out all three super expensive insoles are useless.
I preferred nike's morf concept where you could change the outer so you weren't limited by insole wear.

I finally got to see these in person at the HOH on 34th. Damn. I had the YOTDs on foot and was shocked that they actually look good with jeans.
That being said, I just couldn't pull the trigger. $223 plus NYC tax was just too much to handle. I'm going to keep looking though, because these are serious.

I would've copped both colorways, but putting dragons and fire on both pairs killed it for me. I can respect Chinese culture, but I'm not Chinese and I don't want dragons on the tongue or side if my shoes. The colorways were enough to make them YOTD without the Dungeons and Dragons graphics.

I always wear a 10.5 and I got the wolf grey' and they are a bit snug. I got an 11 in the yotd and they are better.... Amazing shoe.

There are two ways for u to make this possible.1. U buy the YOTD and one pair of the white/blacksWhich comes with black sockliners2. U make a nike ID with the same colors and materialsOf the YOTD but choose a black sockliner!

Was debating between these and the cool greys but I figure they will go on sale sooner or later anyways. Can't wait to get them
Nice with the YOTD's, pics I have seen make em look dope. On another note, what's the deal with the VIP cards from FTL? I needed to spend 33 bucks to reach platinum status and I spent like 90 n change on Sunday and I checked my account today and that %*$ said $0.00 spent. When you do reach platinum what do they send you?

The YOTD are much nicer in person then viewing from pics plus the packaging is top notch. Cant lie the YOTD are probably the only 2012 I am copping unless they can come with a decent concept that is nice. Those YOTD 2 is wrong name for them why not Ninjas or something stupid like that stay away from YOTD repeats one time thru is cool but not twice with the same shoe.
