Air Jordan 2012 Sample
October 8th, 2011 by John K. | 80 comments

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.








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
DEPRESSING IS THE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS
this are way too ugly, i hope these never come out, please.
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 $135+ the want people to buy.
only thinking keeping JB alive is retros everything else is TRASHHHHH!!! kobe and lebron have better lines now
No way Tinker designed these.
HATEFUL lookin shoe...just because a jumpman is on there does not make it hot...team jordan lookin trash!
I have one pair from every year unworn in the box, but if this is the real 2012, I'm done collecting. The 2009 and 2010 were very hard for me to justify buying, and for me, the only colorway that saved 2011 was the YOTR. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm no designer, but that midsole and that jumpman on the side are just embarassing to even look at. Thanks for the memories JB.
ima say it cuz no one else has....ass ass ass ass ass ass
These ain't 2012 Air Jordans!.......it the 2012 Hyperdunks!!! or probably that's the 2012 Hyperdunk "FLINTSTONES EDITION"
I'm sorry, But I'll pass on AJ2012 and Keep the AJ 2011s >=(
-_______- This some sort of sick joke, right?
This is more disappointing than the AJ 2K9. These look beyond plain.
Loool, this is nasty..I saw shoes like these in Wal-Mart last week.
Yeah, they're ugly but why is everyone so worked up they're just samples.
These make the XVs the least hated sneaker of the entire line
Seriously if Brand Jordan continues to put out this type of BULL$HIT ima take my money else where... I think we are getting punked!!! Come on out Ashton
jordans don't this flywire/hyperfuse shi#... hey JB designers, hope you're reading this.
Take out the damn flywire!!!! Looks ugly ....
Letdown tickers and "Next week's going to be crazy for Jordan heads" gibberish, and now this.
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
...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.
fuck dat AND1's never looked this bad
They just look so lazy and that midsole is just stupid looking.
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.
just when we thought things couldnt get anymore worse
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
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN AJ COLLECTION!
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..
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!!!!
so this is how JB interprets the Kobes?
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!!!
just no way its the 2012
Straight 1999 jumpman, not impressed one bit.
the Jumpman would jump off these if he could i bet
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!
One step forward (AJ 2011) two steps back (AJ 2012)
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.
Isn't the end of the world coming anyway in 2012 so maybe jb wanted to get an early start
JB is dying... SMH...
They're already on life support (retros).
Ugh. Yuck Look like some team Jordan trash wear sample from 97. Remind me of Toni Kukoc...

Someone please tell me is this a f@#kin joke???smh
Nah B.
Someone please tell me is this a fucking joke???smh
Wow looks like a payLess sneaker!
interesting technology. But design wise, way too generic.
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.
I Just Threw Up A Bit
