Air Jordan, meet Full-length Zoom Air. The Air Jordan XII was the first Air Jordan shoe to feature Nike’s state-of-the-art Zoom Air cushioning, but face it, Michael could’ve led the Bulls to a fifth championship and a 69-win season wearing Jesus sandals. The Air Jordan XII, a Tinker Hatfield joint, will make a return in 2012 in a number of original colorways, like the Obsidian/White colorway that has yet to re-release, and the Black/White ‘Playoffs’ colorway that was re-issued just once before. Here’s a quick look at the 2012 Samples of both the ‘Obsidian’ and the ‘Playoffs’ Retros; if the 2008 CDP release of the Taxis are any indication of the quality of the 2012′s, we’re definitely in for a treat. Check out the extra shots below and let us know which of the two you’ve been eagerly waiting for. via kimchee2go on NT.

Love the 12's, only thing that would make 2012 better is if the REAL flu games dropped alongside the taxis and playoffs.

The first Jordan to feature zoom air… which was rendered absolutely useless by the solid midsole/outsole!! But I do love 12's given how solid the midsoles on most jordans were up to xiii its no wonder mj had knee and shin splint problems!

You need glasses, they are leather.lol….Need to get the obsidians.
September 15th, 2011 at 8:53 am
copping one of each that's all that is needed no hyper beast bullshit
October 17th, 2011 at 4:55 am
jauntae,NO… nubuck or suede looks like crap on the XII. How can you like those 2009 flu games???????It disgraces the OG. Anyways, I really hope Jordan Brand use smooth leather on the Obsidian XII like they did on the originals. OG or 2003 Retro black/red XII (Flu Game) > 2009 flu game
December 19th, 2011 at 2:58 pm
gotta see em in person first
December 19th, 2011 at 4:11 pm
They both look good.Hopefully they don't use that stiff ass material they used on recent 12 retros
December 19th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Each of yall are having shoe'gasims. losers. Need to look at those 11s in the background retards
