As the Air Jordan continues to age gracefully, it impeccably captures the essence of luxury with fine materials and inspired design. There’s a story behind each and every Air Jordan that releases, and we learned during the Air Jordan 2012 Media Launch Event that the Air Jordan 2012 is one of the most inspired pieces to have ever come out of Beaverton. Created by Tinker Hatfield and Tom Luedecke, the Air Jordan 2012 was created to capture the era of jazz, zoot suits, and wingtip shoes, and this new Black/White colorway that Sneaker News first showed you yesterday morning effortlessly unifies those details into one sneaker. What makes this Air Jordan 2012 Deluxe release is the pressed-leather detail of the dragon on the medial side of the shoe (you can get a better look here). The official release date for this Deluxe offering is March 14th, just before the ides of March, so continue reading for a viewing of the official Jordan Brand images and stay tuned for more release updates for March and April.
Air Jordan 2012 Deluxe
484654-010
Black/White
03/14/12
$223
Picked up them White/Black/ and Varsity red pair, sick af, Comfortable and solid. I don't play basketball, I just love Jordans haha
They gotta step the game up on these every year fails miserably
should have went white on the midsole imo then again the whole shoe is garbage for 223 I want premium leather you can find this or higher quality on most addidas releases
I had the same reservations about the 2012, but i got the grey ones and they do look better on. Chose a color way and cop them. Im def getting these, if they hit retail by me.
Best looking of the 2012's but I aint no sucka; I would rock em if they was free but not otherwise lol.
Fugly
that looks like some nice leather. still looking to cop the gray/volt but not for $222 lol
Can't pretend I don't want these, but $223 with 2 ($340) of the best Lebron's releasing on the 2nd and the electrolime foams on the 17th for $220, what does one skip on. Since the beasts have not caught on to this shoe as of yet, I'm sure this will be much easier to pick up though.
I can't lie the 2012's have grown on me a lot, but still don't think that they are off the court sneakers. With that said this color way is terrible as Charles Barkley would say.
I dont like the most recent couple jordans. I do like this version though. Ive held the 2012s and they just feel cheap. lets get back to the 3-14 styles! Oh those were the days
it would look better as an all black shoe
They actually look better on foot. its a solid shoe, nothing that will overshadow any shoe from the Jordan Bulls days. Spiz'ikes have come the closest so far for a post nba Jordan classic release in my opinion
This is one helluva f*cked-up up shoes like the rest of AJ2012s.
Ehh... I'm not so sure about the Jordan 2012s. It's at least interesting than the previously few forgettable signature models. I totally forget what the 2010 looks like! The 2011 flexes so much on mid foot; plantar fascitis! Like I said, totally forgettable the last few.
I have no idea what you're saying
2010s had that stupid window, 2011s were dope in 2 colorways IMO, white/red and white/blue, didnt really like the year of the rabbits, but i thought the 2011s were way better than these
These are obviously performance based shoes. Multiple soles and ankle supports. They're meant for balling. Nobody should buy these to "rock". every year these jbs are ugly but looks don't matter for these kicks, you should ball in them, after they clearance, that is. Way too pricey.
