It has some stiff competition from the Kobe VII System and Air Force 1 in the ‘Best Packaging’ category for any awards bestowed upon the Nike ‘Year of the Dragon’ collection, but the Air Jordan 2012 YOTD‘s box is inarguably the most complex. Housing a pair of AJ2012s, two booties and three different cushioning platforms, this Water Dragon-inspired package offers the same kind of thorough attention to excellence that you see from the shoe’s design. Especially with this high-energy colorup, you get the sense for how well this model plays on opposite extremes, effortlessly pairing a dressy wingtoe approach with Flywire accenting a palette that’d make Chris Paul wish he was still a Hornet. Click through for images of both booties, let us know which ones you’d rock and stick with Sneaker News for the Air Jordan 2012 YOTD release date. via HK-kicks
Really dope pair of shoes, I really like the sock liners that you can take out and switch around. Overall...incredible pair of classy shoes.
When are these coming out? anybody know?
when do they come out
When do they cum our
Well kinda finding Nemo... Kinda NY Mets, All in all they are possibly the illest ever
Let me make a bold prediction here. This is the only Chinese-calendar named kicks that can make it in outlet stores.
Air Jordan shoes gone bad! How on earth could they (JB Designers) desecrate the decades-old unflappable reputation of the JBs? This is suicidal. With the upcoming release of JB retros to commemorate the Olympics later this year, are they expecting JB loyalists like us to cop these 2012s?...are you kidding me?!!! SMH...SMH...SMH...SMH....SMH....SMH....SMH.
Surprisingly this shoe is growing on me! but Jordan is FALLING OFF. They need some new designers. (ahem!) Right Here. Nike Basketball>Jordan Basketball adidas basketball> Jordan Basketball
For those Air Jordan 2012 nut huggers, go f@ck yourself! Your sneaker taste stinks like sh*t!!!
the beginning pics look soo sick and then...
2010's were hot, 2011's were kinda hot, but these are just a NO.
Nope... I will not.
Enough of this instagram type photography. Not one clear shot of the shoe...smh
Idc what anyone says theyll look fresh as hell if theyre worn the right way all you who say aw man these are ugly as fuck are gonna regret not coppin in a month when you see some1 wearing them the right way. Imma try to cop but might come out empty handed cus theyre limited but its worth the try imo
Can't wait to get them ........ ....... at the outlet for $50.00
are those called inner booties or inner beauties?
...still disappointed!...f*ck-it,I still can't believe it.
Fire Tinker!!!!! I am curious to see if they can pull off a good colorway with this.
Then don't buy them but u know u will poser
...I don't wear J's, chump. I just analyze the new designs.I will loan you some $...so YOU can buy'em.
Definitely on my must have list. A lot of people are sleeping on the 2012. This isn't like anything else on the market.
Another totally fucked up shoes. AJ2011>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AJ2012
these still look shitty imo but at least the colorway is kinda nice lol
year of the uglyest...
OD on year of the dragon releases...
Everybody can say what they want but I love these and will rock em hard.
The giant jumpman logo screams clearance Team Jordan shoe. The taller insole kind of helps balance it out, but it's still just waaaaaaay too big.
Hmmmm.... Not bad. I wouldn't buy them though, not like I can anyways since these are ridiculously exclusive! Oh well, all I need is a pair of Cement 4s and hopefully JB retros the 8s soon so I can get the Aquas then I'll be done with Jordans and their overpriced shoes that just get worse by the release
That's what I always say about being done with Jb but if your like me and pretty much 90% of sneaker heads there's gonna be something around the corner that just pulls you back in
Ah you're so right! Gotta break the habit though. Gotta learn to say "I don't need those amazing Olympic 6s coming out or those Mars 4s. No matter how sick they are!"
gay.
you guys really missed a key spot to the pics 2012 YOTD, there chinese wording on the side " 青龍" translation "Green Dragon." Kind of interesting, the box is really wild. Three tier box.... love it!! kind of big, need to find a place to stock it.
ugly!!
