Rumours have been circulating the sneakerhead community about Air Jordan XII (12) Retro releases for late 2009, and now we have visible proof. The Air Jordan XII (12) ‘Rising Sun’ takes MJ’s 1996-97 sneaker and amplifies its design. The trademark stitching is still in place, but Jordan Brand added perforations to the white leather on every other section, creating an enhanced sunray effect. To ground out this half-perfed tumbled leather, the swooping lower side panels are made of white patent leather. The only touches of colour appear in the black lining and outsole elements, plus some red on the tongue and heel, as well as the signature metal hook eyelets. Take a look at these and let us know if you like the perforations. via Flightclub.tistory.com
Style: 130690-163
Color: White/Black-Varsity Red

Fresh. Plain and simple, but liking these a lot. Probably more of a trainer you’d play in than wear casually though, to me.

Mike won a ring with XII’s, DON’T ANY OF YOU EVER FORGET THAT! I will definatly have 2 pairs when they drop. One for rocking, & one for my son’s prom, & he’s not even born yet!
