The Air Jordan XII has been confirmed for yet another return this Summer 2012 season, with one of the highlights being this new Cool Grey/Team Orange colorway. We first showed you this upcoming release back in October, and many readers made the quick connection of the Grey/Orange/White colorway to the Charlotte Bobcats – the NBA franchise co-owned by Michael Jordan. It featured a grey nubuck upper with a white synthetic mudguard, and just the right hints of Team Orange set these apart from the similar ‘Flint Grey’ colorway that dropped years ago. Are you looking forward to this May 2012 release? Let us know in the comments section below. via MN.

Not too bad, but bcuz of timing these will sit on the shelves like a lot of good shoes this year. Heat is coming out left to right starting Sat. If you have the funds this year will be a great year lol
January 18th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
What inspired the color orange. Please someone inform me because I really don't know.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
killer shoes and a fresh new colorway for tha 12s .. COPPPPED!
January 18th, 2012 at 5:12 pm
these will be mine!
January 18th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
i have the playoff 12s from early 2k and this is a dope color. i like the grey n white together id cop these because it looks good! nice
January 18th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
Fuck no
January 18th, 2012 at 5:17 pm
…this is a summer sneaker cause wearing these with jeans will obscure the view of such a great colorway.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
not worth 160$ out of my pocket
January 18th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
Not feeling these….I'll get the playoff 12s though
January 18th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
LOVE THESE NEW FRESH ORIGINAL CW DEF. COP
January 18th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
I agree totally! We will have to chose our kicks wisely
January 18th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
Those are Flee! Now that I see a better picture of them i'm def coppin
January 18th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Already had these on the "must cop" list so I'm glad these pictures confirm my decision to purchase!
January 18th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Ill cop when it goes on sale
January 18th, 2012 at 5:29 pm
They should have re-released the Cool Grey 4's instead of releasing these.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:34 pm
They straight, but my funds are coppin the playoff 12s.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:34 pm
give me 20% off and ill think about buying these
January 18th, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Hmm depends how much money I have when these release, if a better release is close to these I’ll cop the other pair. If I have enough I’ll cop both.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:36 pm
ehh
January 18th, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Yea i think ur right they look pretty smoove but like u said its so much certified heat this year that you gotta choose wisely what u cop…better start stackin if you havent allready my fellow sneakerheads or else meet our worst enemy the dreaded “reseller”….
January 18th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
January 18th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
Fresh CW. And whats up with that dude saying that if you cop these you’re a fake sneakerhead? I thought this was a hobby. Not a job or an assignment. You do it because you love sneakers. And even though the shoes might not be jordans or nikes, or the CW might not be OG, you get them becuase YOU like them, and thats ALL that matters. :]
January 18th, 2012 at 5:47 pm
fakes only exist cuz they dont put out colorways like these…. dont know how we would be fake ass sneakerheads for copping a shoe that we like.. the og editions are clearly the best looking but colorways like this bring more versatility to the jordan brand… I get happy when i see new colorways cuz i swear all my shoes are red, black, and white
January 18th, 2012 at 5:47 pm
yup I hope they do sit on the shelves nothing better then gettin a nice shoe for under retail lol
January 18th, 2012 at 5:48 pm
Cool story bro.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
Bobcats it says it in the article…
January 18th, 2012 at 5:51 pm
bobcat 12s lol
January 18th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
i love when a new colorway comes out… i know majority of my 40 something pair of jordans are red black and white… so i love when i can add some new colors lol copping these with the rest of the 12's
January 18th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
So that means that you better not have any laser IV's, thunder/lightning pack, DMP VI's, or any other limited releases for that matter since they're not OG colorways right??? I guess every major collector then is a fake ass sneakerhead? GTFO of here with that BS.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:59 pm
this could be the release of 2012…
January 18th, 2012 at 6:07 pm
ugly
cool grey doesnt belong on everything
January 18th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
They look fine.
But I'm not super rich, so I'll have to pass on them for the Playoffs.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Gotta cop them all, Pokemon!
January 18th, 2012 at 6:10 pm
*whistle* Taxi
January 18th, 2012 at 6:18 pm
The Bobcats. Most likely.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:19 pm
If u buy these ur a fake ass sneakerhead! If it aint an og colorway than its corny like fakes! I got og playoff 12's! Peep my channel!
January 18th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
BOBCATS CW
January 18th, 2012 at 6:22 pm

January 18th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
tmh too much heat this year…i need all the xii's
January 18th, 2012 at 6:37 pm
HE FEELS THIS WAY ABOUT THIS NEW COLORWAY BECAUSE HE CANT AFFORD TO COP.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
the colorway looks like some kix from a bootleg site, all its missing is a 360 bottom
January 18th, 2012 at 6:42 pm
thank you patrick lol
January 18th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
A MUST COP FOR ME , ALREADY HAVE A JORDAN BRAND SWEATSUIT TO MATCH.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:46 pm
Everyone hates this guy cause he a hump ass white kid. Running wolf said it he like one those white kids you know who has mental issues lol.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
Low top 11's, Olympic 6's, Olympic 7's, playoffs ad obsidians taking up my summer money. So these is a no.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:56 pm

January 18th, 2012 at 7:37 pm
Yea me either….will cop em for my girl doe!!!!
January 18th, 2012 at 7:45 pm
Never owned a pair of XII's before because I didn't like the contrast of too dark and too bright, but these … These I will cop instantly! Instacop that is! Can't wait.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:48 pm
Fuck your channel, mane!
January 18th, 2012 at 7:55 pm
Not feeling them. I had higher expectations for em =/ Oh well Playoffs will be copped & Obsidian pics surfaced on Modern-Notoriety. Playoffs look like the best 12 release this year though.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:56 pm
Definitely feeling this colorway. Nice look for JB.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:57 pm
These would've been hard if they didn't have that orange
January 18th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
People talk bad about these now, but 5 – 10 years later these are going to be classified as some serious HEAT!!!
January 18th, 2012 at 9:16 pm
wasnt gonna cop these till i seen this pic they r frrrreeeshhh
January 18th, 2012 at 9:20 pm
These are purrty
January 18th, 2012 at 9:20 pm
as a suns fan this is such an easy cop! not to many Jays come out in an orange/grey color way
January 18th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
this coming from a guy who has a video about the graphite ,grey 14s.
January 18th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
your a fuckin retard a sneakerhead doesnt mean to copp only og cw's not all heat isnt an og colorway examples: yotr 7s grapes 5s laney 5s and many more.
January 18th, 2012 at 10:45 pm
Whoa these were a total suprise.wasnt feeling em too much and these pics proved me wrong. however now that jays have jumped up in price along with every other sneaker(foams 220?? SMH) but im saving my special jordan purchase for the Raptor 7s and thats it….okay maybe the olympic 6s or 7s also but thats it nothing else strikes my eye to be honest!
January 18th, 2012 at 10:52 pm
I have to pass on these and any 12 with nubuck. Looks cheap.
January 18th, 2012 at 11:53 pm
so all your shoes are red black and white?….im not about that life. i agree to an extent that OGs are better than this colorway, but to say that about everything is foolish.
January 19th, 2012 at 12:16 am
i bet u wear team jordans and with that weak ass statement. i'm grabbin these just cause i can.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:10 am
Yeah these are hard alright hard to look at lol. Unless u hoopin in these joints ain’t no reason u should volunteer to be bo bo the buffoon. Just give ya cash to charity or the Boys n Girls club. Instead of purchasing som
e off brand J’s.

January 19th, 2012 at 1:13 am
I luv tha new 12's colorway……peep this Jordanheads u can't keep bring'in tha same colorway or kicks u must change it up and I luv it. peace
January 19th, 2012 at 1:45 am
I luv cool grey and white These pictures did not let me down…Forget the playoffs these are copped
January 19th, 2012 at 2:35 am
LOVE THIS SHOE BUT THE WHITE BOTTOMS AND NUBUCK GREY WILL BE HARD TO KEEP CLEAN. DEFINITE COP THOUGH.
January 19th, 2012 at 2:37 am
wear skinny jeans!
January 19th, 2012 at 2:52 am
What he said! I'll add cool grey 4's and 11's, Lightning and thunders… What an ignorant comment.
January 19th, 2012 at 5:46 am
You know I can't wait
January 19th, 2012 at 9:18 am
Grape 5's are OG's
January 19th, 2012 at 9:46 am
would be extremely heat if they didnt add the orange.
January 19th, 2012 at 11:09 am
THAT is a hot colorway. May can't get here fast enough.
January 19th, 2012 at 11:55 am
I agree. And I also think the grape 5's are some of the greatest j's.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
Nah these are sweet. Maybe Grey laces would make them come together.
January 19th, 2012 at 2:22 pm
not feeling the orange accent.
January 19th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
exactly
January 19th, 2012 at 2:55 pm
my thoughts exactly, these are fresh, but with all the heat for 2012, discounted may be the only way i can afford these
January 19th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
these pics really exceeded my expectations, the earlier pics didnt really impress me too much
January 19th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
never with jordans
January 19th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
yotr 7's were a bad example…
January 19th, 2012 at 2:59 pm
obsidians before these too
January 19th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
were u expecting less???
January 19th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
Damn I was hoping they wouldve change the oranage, it it wasnt for that theyre copped
January 20th, 2012 at 2:14 am
These aren't shoes you would put away as a sneakerhead, but they are definitely worth getting and wearing as a walking shoe.
January 20th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Never period. Man up!
January 20th, 2012 at 3:09 pm
LOL! Exactly.
January 20th, 2012 at 9:16 pm
Favorite color is orange….love Jordans….enough SAID!!!!
