The connection isn’t as neat as many other sneaker analogies we’ve made over the past few years, but it’s still clear to see that there’s some connection between 2011 and 2012 when it comes to Air Jordan Retro releases. The Air Jordan XII is playing the role played by the IIIs this past year, returning in a few of the OG colorways, while the Air Jordan X comes through as this year’s V, offering one of its all-time greats along with a smattering of new flavors. One such new look X even takes one of its key materials from last year’s ‘Wolf Grey’ AJ5, where a distressed suede was introduced that you’ll see in a slightly darker shade on this Ten’s eye-placket. We can end the linkage right there, because despite carrying a name borrowed from the AJXX that we also saw on a new III last year, this pair’s range of suedes and nubuck along with a lack of a strong accent color gives them an entirely distinct feel. Click through to have a closer look at these and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release date. via Sneaker Hotline

Wow. These joints look horrible
December 29th, 2011 at 5:02 pm
I just don't get why JB refuses to stick with ALL LEATHER on the X releases. So much cleaner and would sell way more. At this point the Chicago X's are the only snag for me. JMO.
December 29th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
these suck
just release the shadows again
December 29th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
They looked fine just a week ago but sneakerhotline do take shitty pics
December 29th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
Nope. Fuckin' terrible.
December 29th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
gross. bad color combo…and materials. Look like fake Shadow 10's. The white bottom makes them even worse.
December 29th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
not sure if you guys heard but just found out why our damn quality sucks so bad! cause now Jordan's dumb ass got 7-8year old CHILDREN putting some of his shoes together for 25cents!!!!!!!!! It was on the news fucking cheap ass bastard with all his money that's all he can do terrible
December 29th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
That is not a complete sentence.
December 29th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
Good, i can save money in between heat releases. win/win imo
December 29th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
These are horrific. Gentry is an asshole for OK'ing these
December 29th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
I personally think the material looks great, but just not on this shoe.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
Welp! All you herbs passing on these so i can cop my two pair..chicagos are the next best with the old royals pulling up in 3rd lol…Suede?! so we talking bout suede not the shoe but suede? HAHAHA kill yourselves bordeaux got suede and those hideous metallic 5s too but didn't stop you from copping…I understand all your bitterness toward J for not releasing as many pair of concords so you lames could get a pair but let's be honest..Have-Nots ONLY COMPLAIN!!! Big ups to those copping..you'll be sorry in a year or two..swaggerless beings…CHEERS!
December 29th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
these are looking worst with every new picture!
December 29th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
For real tho, who approves these colorways?
December 29th, 2011 at 7:38 pm
coulda been okish if they went with a black sole instead of white…
December 29th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
$260 for those? No thanks!
December 29th, 2011 at 8:33 pm
Did you actually say these look better then the Chicago X's?? SMDH!! Wow and your calling us herbs. Just make sure you have your lint brush in hand when you cop your 2 pairs, lol. Cause even the girl X's look better then this garbage.
December 29th, 2011 at 8:48 pm
YEP!!! Chicagos too hyped up plus been there done that..IJS chances are if your on sneakernews, sneakerfiles, kicksonfire or niketalk.com it's a high probability that you have a vast collection of jordans and a large of amount of clothing so i reject anyone's deposit of lint brushes..i'm not a kid nor do i wear da same shoe in the same month let alone the same quarter haha..besides I got tons of grey hoodies and black jackets, shirts and levis that will crush when I rock these..Question is? You need to borrow my swag? Haha
December 29th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Your all acting like this is the worse colorway to come ouy.first off its mostly all black, so idk why you guys are complaining. Second of all, the suede really isnt that bad. Quality isnt going to get better so suck it up.personally, these would go hard with a black northface..jus gotta rock em right.
December 29th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
helen keller wouldnt cop these trashbags
December 29th, 2011 at 11:41 pm
jordan 2009: failure__jordan 2010: total failure__jordan 2011: ok__jordan 2012: well wait for 2013 to see if they can do something good
December 29th, 2011 at 11:52 pm
i like how they used that look used on the wolf grey 5 on the lateral side of the shoe
December 30th, 2011 at 12:54 am
woulda been dope with leather
December 30th, 2011 at 1:46 am
Not a fan… Why release an awful stealth CW of the X when you already rocked it with the city series? Let's get the Seattle CW out here before this mess…
December 30th, 2011 at 2:47 am
Man not hating on thoes who gon kop but man these look bad IMO…. idk if its these pics but that's a easy pass for Me
December 30th, 2011 at 2:51 am
I agree
December 30th, 2011 at 5:40 am
epic………………….fail
thank god i have my 2005 pair in great condition of how it should be done
December 30th, 2011 at 10:55 am
Honestly the Chicago's are probably the least hyped (completely over shadowed by the concord release) considering their an original colorway and everyone is entitled to their own opinion but SLAP yourself for saying these look better! These look like canal street sneakers.
December 30th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
This colorway is a mess.
December 30th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Well, more money for me anyway.
January 1st, 2012 at 6:41 pm
*scratches chin* idk about this shoe. at one minute it looks goo, the other, bad. So far, it's the chicago ones that will be a must cop.
