Air Jordan XII “Obsidian” – Release Reminder
June 22nd, 2012 by John K. | 54 comments

Why you shouldn’t pass on the Air Jordan XII ‘Obsidian’: for one, it’s an original colorway, and secondly, this might be the last Air Jordan XII Retro in a long while. The Obsidian XII caps off a nice Summer 2012 trio of AJ12s that began with April’s ‘Playoffs’ and was followed by May’s ‘Grey/Orange’, but the Obsidian could potentially be the most important of the three because it’s an untouched original. These were near the top of the ever-shortening list of un-retroed Air Jordans, but prayers have been answered because tomorrow’s release will finally remove the Obsidians from that list. Remember, Nikestore will NOT release these, so be sure to cop these tomorrow morning at Jordan Brand retailers or get ‘em right now from yellownsxt on eBay.

Thank God I have a good ass job so I don't pass on nothing
No more J's until Bred 11s come out.... Cool Grey 9s & Olympic 7s will be testing me though
The Olympic 6s, and Bred 4s will be my test
12s released at 9am here, I had to work at 9am, sold out in my size online by 8:01am.. fortunate enough to get off by noon and I so happened to get the very last pair, in my sz too :D I wore my OG Nubucks on the way and wore the Obsidians out the mall... they feel like ass compared to '03 era 12s but still happy finally getting a hold of some obsidians... all i need now is Flint & Cool Grey/Orange 12s then I'll have em all >:]
this entry is too long. wrap it up B.
Copped my XII, not bad, although anyone old enough knows the quality ain't great on that fake leather. I did though roll by other retailers and took a sneak peak at the Olympic 6's and the Gym Green Foams, they look okay, but then again to each there own. Anyone else copping Safari's next week...? Real sneakerhead shoe right there kids...
gottem off eastbay, olympic 6 next, them fire red 4, them im done with j's til holiday season
i'm surprised my order went through finish line. pretty psyched for them to get here.
You know sour got em
Just copped them from Finish Line. I'm happy with them. Quality is pretty good and this color way looks so good on the XII. Hope everyone was able to cop safely. Olympic 6s up next!
Everybody thats passin on the obsidians is a broke nigga.......”im waitin for the olympic 6s”lol.....get your bread up ho
Some of us are not fortunate enough to live in our parents basement & Jaack off to cinemax dry/soft porn on a nightly basis like u obviously do lol.. why can't people cop wat they wanna cop & pass on other shiiit fa sumthin better in da right around da corner... and u probably sittin in dat basement wit no 12s in yo possession right now talkin like u kno other niiiiggas finances. Sit yo ass down & stay in yo lane
My payment wont go through! Anyone else have this problem with Finish Line?
Finish Line wont let me checkout! WTF!
Its so ridiculous what you have to go thru to get sneakers.
dam wants these.....have to pass on these cus of the 6's.......
Allready got them. I miss out on the playoffs so I had to cop them
Oh man I forgot these were coming out!!!! What would we do without these reminders sneakernews?? REALLY??? YOU POST THEM EVERYDAY HOW WE GONNA FORGET??
My advice = russel Westbrook (don't pass)
or Kobe
All this pass, pass, talk. These are still gonna sell out!
Grabbed two pairs one of my favs. A lot of white blue gear to rock. True adult shoe 24 or older
Had to pass on them... foams next wk, Olympic Barkley's on da 1st, Olympic 6s on da 7th... love these but I'll take da 6s over these any day...
Passing for now, just rebought some Bordeaux's and need to get those 6's. Will be copping these though after release seeing that they won't be that expensive. Love these though, good luck to all tomorrow, pretty sure everyone that wants one will get one though. Whole lot of people skipping for the 6's, but to me it was easy Bordeaux > Obsids.
LOL. Thanks for the reminder!

Tough passing on these!..but I'm tryna get some ink more on my arms + gem pros next wk!..anybody who cops these truly classic og Jordan's Rock em right and know what you have

do u think the obsidians will sell out
Obviously, they're an Original Colorway, the people love (OG) Colorways.
Absolutely-without a doubt-100% -whatever small portion is left from heads will be gobbled up by resellers
do these hoes really think p****y run the world?
