The Jordan Brand Flight Forum 2011 was a precise indication of the future of the brand; By combining inspired designs with the latest in technology, Jordan Brand looks to renew the post-Michael Jordan generation as well as the single most anticipated signature sneaker of the year. Here we have a look at a sample of the Air Jordan 2012, set for a February 2012 release; the upper features a seamless, one-piece construction with visible Flywire support that spans the entire shoe, while the midsole adopts a unique scarred detailing. We showed you a sample of the Air Jordan 2012 before, and if you can recall it, you’ll note that the upper has been completely re-tooled with new materials for a more obvious ‘tech’ design. With no other Air Jordan 2011 releases coming our way, it’s time to roll out the red carpet for twenty-seventh installment of the Air Jordan line, and it begins now with this sample preview. Let us know what your thoughts on the Air Jordan 2012 are so far, and be sure to stick with Sneaker News with all the updates you need. via dreamsole.

October 8th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
O_O…they're joking right!?…
October 8th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
is it me or the Air Jordan 2000s keep getting worse
October 8th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
much better than 2011
October 8th, 2011 at 7:30 pm
They kinda look like the Fly Wade's older brother. Not yet sold. Need to see more colorways but then again I am a huge Air Jordan fan and will most likely cop a pair.
October 8th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Real talk they need to cut this shit out…
I don't even think they trying anymore…
October 8th, 2011 at 7:35 pm
rubbish
October 8th, 2011 at 7:35 pm
horrible!
October 8th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
They suck!
October 8th, 2011 at 7:38 pm
They ok want to see other color ways
October 8th, 2011 at 7:41 pm
smh… These make the 2010's look amazing. JB's performance is not enough to make me wanna try these out on the court. the Lebron VIII v2 and v3 p.s. far surpassed the Jordan 2011. Hell, I have chosen my KD III's over my 2010 and 2011 Jordans.
October 8th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
garbage…ummm, maybe
October 8th, 2011 at 7:49 pm
Looks like Gen. 1 Flywire (OG Hyperdunks)…. Cmon JB.
October 8th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
Wow these are ugly!
October 8th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
DISGUSTING
October 8th, 2011 at 7:59 pm
Makes me have a new appreciation for the 2011's.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
And these shoes look like DO DOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 8th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
I'd have to see the finished product but so far not impressed
October 8th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
Jesus these things are ugly. I'm sure performance standpoint they are amazing on the court but look wise yuck. The 2011 were decent. Maybe the final product will be better(hopefully)
October 8th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
They remind me of Fly Wades. -_-
October 8th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
wow
October 8th, 2011 at 8:23 pm
I Just Threw Up A Bit
October 8th, 2011 at 8:23 pm
Each numbered air jordan always had something controversial in them, mostly loved, seldomly disliked (AJ2010) but this? This looks really IMO, looks like a redesigned Melo 8, which im not liking much either.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:33 pm
interesting technology. But design wise, way too generic.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Wow looks like a payLess sneaker!
October 8th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
Someone please tell me is this a fucking joke???smh
October 8th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
Nah B.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:52 pm
Someone please tell me is this a f@#kin joke???smh

Ugh. Yuck Look like some team Jordan trash wear sample from 97. Remind me of Toni Kukoc…
October 8th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
JB is dying… SMH…
October 8th, 2011 at 9:06 pm
Isn't the end of the world coming anyway in 2012 so maybe jb wanted to get an early start
October 8th, 2011 at 9:08 pm
One step forward (AJ 2011) two steps back (AJ 2012)
October 8th, 2011 at 9:18 pm
Why did they take the leather away?!! The first leather sample which somebody requested to take down was a much better quality, classier shoe. I will not be buying this shit, unless they slap that premium leather back on. I bought all of the 2011's and doubles on a few. I'm not retro bias either!
October 8th, 2011 at 9:19 pm
the Jumpman would jump off these if he could i bet
October 8th, 2011 at 9:22 pm
Straight 1999 jumpman, not impressed one bit.
October 8th, 2011 at 9:30 pm
just no way its the 2012
October 8th, 2011 at 10:05 pm
it's a shame when Jordans start to look like Hyperdunks…its a shame when Jordan puts Flywire on their shoes now smh FUCK WHOEVA DOIN DIS SHIT UP IN THE HEADQUATERS!!!
October 8th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
so this is how JB interprets the Kobes?
October 8th, 2011 at 10:39 pm
It's hilarious to see all these hating comments lol. What do you want them to make? A shoes embedded with diamond or something? lol Bunch of low life people..
October 8th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN AJ COLLECTION!
October 8th, 2011 at 11:11 pm
yes i need these now jordan til die!!! i want everybody to keep sucking on james' 9th ball give me jordan's 27th ball oh yeah BASKETBALL SHOE… lol
October 8th, 2011 at 11:15 pm
They're already on life support (retros).
October 8th, 2011 at 11:31 pm
just when we thought things couldnt get anymore worse
October 8th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
They follow stock market trend, from a soaring AJ-2011 to a plummeting AJ-2012. Whatever CWs they slap into these, it will be lame.
Doesn't matter to me if they come up with YOTD (Year of the Dragon-2012) limited edition.
AN EPIC FAIL in design, material…overall look.
Can't wait to see AJ-2013….next.
October 8th, 2011 at 11:52 pm
They just look so lazy and that midsole is just stupid looking.
October 9th, 2011 at 12:02 am
…JORDAN BRAND has sucessfully DESTROYED M.J.s SNEAKER LEGACY. If the JORDAN label were still a part of NIKE sh*t like this would never even reach the drawing board.It looks like they hired some designers who got fired from AND-1.
October 9th, 2011 at 12:05 am
…i wish i could DOUBLE THUMBS UP that phrase.
October 9th, 2011 at 1:28 am
they look like another cheap pair of team jordans, if you ask me, the 2011s are the best RECENT jordan from the legacy. i used to hate the 2010s but theyre classics compared to these, at least they had something going on, these are way too bland
October 9th, 2011 at 1:30 am
Letdown tickers and "Next week's going to be crazy for Jordan heads" gibberish, and now this.
October 9th, 2011 at 2:56 am
THESE HATING COMMENTS R BECAUSE JB R SUPPOSED TO B THE LEADERS IN SHOE DESIGN NOT FOLLOWER AND WITH THE USING OF FLYWIRE AND HYPERFUSE ON THEIR SHOES R BEING FOLLOWERS….THESE SUCK ASS!!! BRING TINKER BACK!!!!
October 9th, 2011 at 5:07 am
u sir just compared poo poo to manure, in the end you dont, want to be around either
October 9th, 2011 at 6:01 am
Take out the damn flywire!!!! Looks ugly ….
October 9th, 2011 at 6:59 am
jordans don't this flywire/hyperfuse shi#… hey JB designers, hope you're reading this.
October 9th, 2011 at 9:04 am
Yep, the 2011 was the first non-retro Jordan in a long time that actually made me want to buy a pair cos of how they looked.
October 9th, 2011 at 10:14 am
Seriously if Brand Jordan continues to put out this type of BULL$HIT ima take my money else where… I think we are getting punked!!! Come on out Ashton
October 9th, 2011 at 10:44 am
Man, I'm 30 years old. I remember when a new Jordan didn't look like ANY other shoe and when no other shoe looked like a J. I picked up them new Jordan 14 graphites. Their design is 13 yrs older than the 2012s and yet look so much better. These are average design shoes with a jumpman slapped on the side. Get back to your roots J brand.
October 9th, 2011 at 12:58 pm
and i thought that first sample of these that leaked was bad, these are worse
October 9th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
These make the XVs the least hated sneaker of the entire line
October 9th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
Yeah, they're ugly but why is everyone so worked up they're just samples.
October 9th, 2011 at 3:10 pm
Loool, this is nasty..I saw shoes like these in Wal-Mart last week.
October 9th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
This is more disappointing than the AJ 2K9. These look beyond plain.
October 9th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
-_______- This some sort of sick joke, right?
October 9th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
I'm sorry, But I'll pass on AJ2012 and Keep the AJ 2011s >=(
October 9th, 2011 at 11:18 pm
these are starting to remind me of the jumpman elites from a few years ago
October 9th, 2011 at 11:33 pm
That's why JB keeps making shoes like this…cuz people like you still buy 'em.
October 10th, 2011 at 11:00 am
These ain't 2012 Air Jordans!…….it the 2012 Hyperdunks!!!
or probably that's the 2012 Hyperdunk "FLINTSTONES EDITION"
October 10th, 2011 at 11:26 am
ima say it cuz no one else has….ass ass ass ass ass ass
October 10th, 2011 at 11:43 am
shit i thought it was another team jordan …or some crap like that … lebron is gettin more love these days ..
October 10th, 2011 at 11:55 am
I have one pair from every year unworn in the box, but if this is the real 2012, I'm done collecting. The 2009 and 2010 were very hard for me to justify buying, and for me, the only colorway that saved 2011 was the YOTR. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm no designer, but that midsole and that jumpman on the side are just embarassing to even look at. Thanks for the memories JB.
October 10th, 2011 at 12:04 pm
looks like og hyper dunks and a pair of foamposities fused together lol
October 10th, 2011 at 12:06 pm
fuck dat AND1's never looked this bad
October 10th, 2011 at 3:44 pm
HATEFUL lookin shoe…just because a jumpman is on there does not make it hot…team jordan lookin trash!
October 10th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
No way Tinker designed these.
October 11th, 2011 at 12:47 am
only thinking keeping JB alive is retros everything else is TRASHHHHH!!! kobe and lebron have better lines now
October 14th, 2011 at 10:55 am
If this is what Jordan, Tink, and Nike wanna offer customers, then I say buy the bootleg 2012's and on until they bring out a Jordan worth the $135+ the want people to buy.
October 14th, 2011 at 3:47 pm
this are way too ugly, i hope these never come out, please.
October 15th, 2011 at 11:39 pm
DEPRESSING IS THE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS
October 16th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
C'mon Tinker! i can't believe he designed these. You have always thought outside the box but these look so boring. the black shapes look so chunky. the visible flywire looks so cheesy and that enormous jumpman?? at least make it reversed on the left shoe like the good old days!! What happened? the 2011's were headed in the right direction why don't you build off the success with that? instead of just scrapping them completely. SMH
