In 2011, Jordan Brand embraced the Chinese Zodiac without reservation, featuring the Air Jordan 2011, Air Jordan 2011 Q-Flight, and Air Jordan VII Retro in a gorgeous color palette capturing the traditional Chinese undertones with the Red/Gold colorway. Here we have a look at the Air Jordan 2012 in a new Blue/Yellow colorway, representing the animal in focus for 2012 – the Dragon; it features a two-toned upper of royal and aqua blue with a contrasting bright yellow on the inner lining as well as on the Dragon graphics on the tongue. The Jumpman logos on the tongue and upper are adored in a pure white, as is the solid outsole. We’ve got a detailed gallery awaiting you below so take a good look and let us know what you think, and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for more info on the Air Jordan ‘Year of the Dragon’ release. via air-randyhk.

No offense to anyone, but THIS is what’s “REAL”. Take a chick that’s a baboon’s @$$ ugly in the face. I don’t care how you dress her, she’s still baboon @$$ ugly in the face. I don’t care what colors, brands, materials, or how you accessorize, THIS shoe is baboon @$$ ugly. There is no amount of “swag” that can fix that, PERIOD.

This is what im talking about this shore is a sleeper but when ppl start trying it on and more colorways come out it will be a hit jb knows what he's doing
December 17th, 2011 at 2:25 pm
They shouldn't even release the white & black, just start with these. I'm diggin this color, i hope they come with a second set of laces.
December 17th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
….a perfect example of how jb tries to play off of the success of an amazing shoe. WE WANT TINKER
December 17th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
Still sucks
December 17th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
a-hole tinker designed these…smh
December 17th, 2011 at 2:46 pm
These are probably fake. Air-randyhk.com, along with other websites have been exposed for selling fakes.
December 17th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
bottom looks dumb with, should be blue/yellow/white or blue/yellow only
December 17th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
i like these
December 17th, 2011 at 3:04 pm
ASS CHEEKS!!!!
December 17th, 2011 at 3:10 pm
This is the only colorway that makes this shoe look decent either way tho shoes sucks
December 17th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Look kind of like the M8's and wingtips put together. Not cool to me.
December 17th, 2011 at 3:29 pm
I doubt any colorway will be able to save this shoe. IMO
December 17th, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Basura
December 17th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
I'm gonna go ahead and say "meh" really not impressed
December 17th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
so i guess the yotd cw wont be the one to make the 2012's…these are worse than the db 4's, smh
December 17th, 2011 at 4:33 pm
I wouldnt even wear these if they gave it to me for free
December 17th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
These are alot better but they still don't say signature Jordan shoe to me.
December 17th, 2011 at 5:10 pm
WTF are those? I'm sure they would charge an arm and a leg because its "year of the dragon". Instead of releasing these they should re-retro the 8s.
December 17th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
The 2011 YOTR look WAYY better
December 17th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
There is potential….These are decent, they show off the shoe better than the black and white…Im just about to wait and see.
December 17th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
Really?!?!?! There is no colorway that will make this shoe better. Jesus couldn't save this shoe. They need to scrap the whole idea and go back to the drawing board. Jordan hasn't had a hot signature release since the XXIII
December 17th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
JB is a person now?
December 17th, 2011 at 5:57 pm
I can't believe JB finally put a white outsole on a shoe that doesn't have white in it. It's about time!
December 17th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
colorway sucks
December 17th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
I totally agree thats how it always ends up
December 17th, 2011 at 6:58 pm
The logo on the tounge is crazy, with the dragon around the jumpman….they should take that logo and put it on a different shoe cuz THESE FUCKIN SUCK!!!
December 17th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
I was pretty harsh about this shoe, and these have made me eat my words. These look great but eating humble pie sucks.
December 17th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
Good lord! This looks like bret the hitman heart's wrestling shoe. I need water!:(
December 17th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
the sole looks like an old adidas
December 17th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
The db4 was fire, they didn't look like it on the pic by itself but on feet they are hot
December 17th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
Yea….If Tinker was the lead designer on these… we might have to get him the fuck outta here. Lol…
December 17th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
To be honest, more like the 19s-let's be real here
December 17th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
Couldn't have said it better myself @Tennessee1257
December 17th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
What the fruitcake is up with that over sized jumpman? Scrap these and hire the design team for the KD IV.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
AFTER THE 20s ALL THESE SHOES UGLY SMH
December 17th, 2011 at 8:31 pm
*AJ 20s
December 17th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Yep nice color but still eh about the shoe. However these will sell and tr hypebeast will flock the stores like they did today with the nerfs
December 17th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
1988!!! YOTD… 2012'S SUCK…
December 17th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Let's b real the XIV was the last tight Jordan made
December 17th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
i like the black and whites but these look ugly.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Get a throwback golden state or throwback denver jersey and make these work style is all about presentation there hasnt been a jordan dropped i couldnt rock quit looking at someone else to get dressed and dress yourselves def cop
December 17th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
You would wear some nerfs nerd
December 17th, 2011 at 10:59 pm
I hear you on that. Too many people are concerned about what others like. Do you and make it work. The best thing about the 2012 is that so many dislike, which is what I like. Thant way a million folks won't be wearing the same thing.
December 17th, 2011 at 11:05 pm
cant wait til the black and red colorway these shoes r growing on me fuck the black and white pair he should put bubble gum bottoms
December 18th, 2011 at 12:35 am
These shoes look better than the white/black shoe…
December 18th, 2011 at 12:37 am
That big ass jump man logo makes the shoe look like a team Jordan release
December 18th, 2011 at 12:59 am
if yall just say no there'll b mo fo me!!!!!!
December 18th, 2011 at 1:12 am
JB was always the brand that set the trend. So why the F*ck is there fly wire on the shoe? If you going to push the limits at least do it with some F*CKING originality.
December 18th, 2011 at 3:02 am
people are stupid nothing about these scream buy me…. they say point look and laugh quietly at who jb duped into buying this bullshit
December 18th, 2011 at 4:16 am
I want to vomit when I see these shoes
December 18th, 2011 at 5:59 am
18s are on point, plus thats the last shoe he used
December 18th, 2011 at 6:43 am
WOW these are 2012 lol…. im def not copping theses!!!!!
December 18th, 2011 at 8:26 am
The jumpman logo is too small…
December 18th, 2011 at 3:14 pm
The shoes not THAT ugly. Stare at the first picture… I mean, this is Year of the Dragon, so eventually, this same shoe will be a collectors item. Def not copping though.
December 18th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Are u fuckin high
December 18th, 2011 at 3:55 pm
yeah. i agree. tht fly wire has it's own design pattern within the technology, which makes the overall design of the shoe look laxy as hell! i'm mostly unsatisfied that there is nothing new to look at, im already done exploring the new design. gotta c in person for the final verdict tho.
peace
December 18th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
LOL everything here is so opinion based. But for a person that actually BALL in their Js, im really looking forward to these.
December 19th, 2011 at 12:48 am
The shoe's aint bad really. The three things that don't fit right to me.
That leather patch in the middle looks tacked on.
Look heavy.
As has been said, Jumpman is waaaay too big.
December 19th, 2011 at 2:32 am
Everyone hated on the LBJ IX initially as well but they're flying off the shelves now. Don't be too quick to judge.
December 19th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
Eeeeeew!! Is this a joke? Who signed off on this BS…Wow.. this is gross! Hands down the worst LOOKING Jordan ever!!!
I am not referring to how it performs. We all know the technology will be great. …..But Gorilla pussy might be good too but I will never try it…lol and I will never buy tany of these.
December 19th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
*any of these.
December 20th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
These are just crap. Save your money.
December 24th, 2011 at 1:25 am
he needs to get rid of Tinker its time for someone new……..
December 24th, 2011 at 1:27 am
he needs to fu*kin retire Tinker sucks ass with all his shoes now…..these are the ugliest jordans ever
December 24th, 2011 at 5:20 am
2 words to sum my thought FUCKING FUGLY!!! JB is trash!!!!
December 28th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
the 2011 was a nice shoe…these still have potential in my eyes, call my crazy. We gonna have to move on from the retro's…they already running out…and many been done 3 times already…It looks like ppl are moving to Lebrons, Kobes and KD's, etc…but Jordan has to live on as a brand and until ppl can accept these new designs…I dono what the future holds. Tinker IS trying WAYYY too hard…he needs to go back to his simple, classic designs…but @ the same time an artists (which he is) has a style and if he goes "simple" it's jus gonna end up lookin like the same shoe he designed earlier "Oh that looks jus like the 3" or "that's just a wanna-be 11" (like the 2011)…Artists have styles so his "style" is gonna be recognizable no matter what.
December 31st, 2011 at 10:17 pm
look like cheap a$$ jumpman knock-offs!!! YUCK!!!!!
