Aside from the official box, the reason sneakerheads who can fit into limited size early-release runs sometimes pass on the chance to cop Air Jordans early, is that they want the retro cards. The card pictured above that comes with the ‘Rising Suns’ goes with the original Air Jordan XII (12) poster design on the front and an updated overview of the series (1 – 2009, inclusive) on the back. A curious detail on this pair is the date, listed as ‘February 1997’. Since the ‘Rising Sun’ is an updated colourway, our best guess is that they chose this date for the Obsidian All Star Game joints because they are also separate from the four main regular season and playoff home/away colourways. In any case, retro cards are back and better than ever. Stick with Sneaker News for updates on all Air Jordan Retros. via NT
