AIR JORDAN 2012 The Air Jordan 2012 is Jordan Brand’s flagship sneaker from the same year, the fourth Air Jordan silhouette to adopt the yearly nomenclature following the Air Jordan XX3. The Air Jordan 2012 features an innovative wing-tip style design on the upper and carries on with the idea of an adaptable sneaker, with swappable cushioning systems catering to different styles of play.

The next Air Jordan #XX8DaysofFlight Promo pair to go up for grabs is the Air Jordan 2012 – the most recent Air Jordan model prior to the Air Jordan XX8. The “zoot suit” inspired Air Jordan 2012 might have been one of the worst performing Air Jordan shoes at retail, but the sneaker was incredibly comfortable and allowed for six different styles of comfort thanks to the interchangeable cushioning system. Any predictions as to which #XX8DaysofFlight model is going to hit eBay next? Give us your guesses and see the full listing for the Air Jordan 2012 from turbogroves on eBay.

It appears that the massive “XX8 Days of Flight” set of Air Jordans given away by Jordan Brand has finally begun to make its way into the hands of the winners. You’ll recall that entry involved snapping a pic of yourself on Instagram using #XX8DaysofFlight wearing the Air Jordan model corresponding to that day. The black and green sneakers have popped up across Instagram, as the lucky Air Jordan enthusiasts who received their pairs have been eager to show them off (and it looks like Jordan Brand unknowingly selected one user to receive two pairs). Now that the pairs are out there, it will be a test of will power to see who ends up keeping these one of a kind sneakers in their personal collection and who ends up taking the “other” route to cash out, although the 1-of-1 factor might be to tough to let go! Check out most of the Air Jordan “XX8 Days of Flight” pairs that have been doled out right after the jump and tell us in the comments which pair is your favorite.

We’ve seen a few of the Bulls-era Air Jordans hit the links in the form of golf cleat hybrids over the years. The one whose product cycle ended most recently is a natural fit for the traditionalist game given its wingtip inspiration, so the Air Jordan 2012 Golf Cleat pictured above has a fairly natural feel. Perhaps that’s because it has shed much of its basketball identity and much like the AJ3 version that Michael Jordan himself also wore, these apply the 2012′s signature elements to a sleek, highly breathable spiked silhouette. Interestingly, the tag inside this MJ-worn pair seems to have been ‘borrowed’ from one of those Jordan III cleats, so these might be even closer than we think. Check them out in more images after the jump and stay tuned to Sneaker News for updates on more rarities like this one that apparently ended thanks to a successful negotiation with mdgusa on eBay.

The Air Jordan 2012 was, to put it politely, a forgettable chapter of the legacy. There was virtually no presence of the shoe in the NBA, and with the shoe box the size of a mini-fridge, it was a rather cumbersome item to keep stored in a closet. The design of the 2012 was impressive, however, with the grown-up ‘zoot suit’ style and jazzy notes making up the entire silhouette of the shoe, and this Jared Jeffries PE during his Knicks days offers up a nice color contrast of black and a dark royal blue. Maybe we just needed more colorways to warm up to the Air Jordan 2012? In any case, we’ve got a rare look at this worn-once NBA PE, so take a look and see the full listing from hamburgsupply on eBay.

In 2009, Jordan Brand celebrated the 23-year long heritage of the Air Jordan Legacy by creating the “History of Flight” exhibit centered around a Bulls-centric White/Red/Black theme that flowed through every Air Jordan model. Of course, with each passing year, a new member gets welcomed into the group, so we’d like to show you the latest addition to the History of Flight fraternity – the Air Jordan 2012. It’s designed just as you expected – a tonal white upper with a splash of red on the outsole and interior lining, with black shoe-laces to “tie” in the colorway into one solid display. A full shot of the Air Jordan 2012 ‘History of Flight’ is just below, so take a look and let us know where the Air Jordan 2012 ranks among all twenty-seven Air Jordan models.

These days every celebrity seems to have a pair of Air Jordan retros in their closet somewhere, but not too many of them are representing for the new age releases from the likes of the Jumpman. Rihanna becomes the latest to pop up in the Air Jordan 2012, proving that her closet is more than just limitless pairs of “Playoffs” Air Jordan XII’s. The pair in question does keep things in line with the Bulls combos though, with Rihanna selecting the ‘Bred’ version that hit a few months back. Click through with us for all the shots of Rihanna rocking the Air Jordan 2012 and let us know if you’ve got these in your rotation at the moment. Photos: JJ

East vs. West has traditionally been a Blue vs. Red affair, but 2012 was a year of changes for sneaker brands as both Nike and Jordan threw in the punchy orange into the mix for some distinction. The Jordan Brand Classic in April, which showcases some of the best High School talent in the nation, featured two special colorways of the Air Jordan 2012, with the East squad donning a tonal Team Orange colorway with a grey midsole. This unreleased promo sample seen here is likely a variation of that Eastern composition, but clearly the tonal joints were the final product for the sake of symmetry as the West went with a similar tonal make-up in University Blue. More of this unreleased Air Jordan 2012 sample below, so take a look and hit up the auction from thecoolshoeshine on eBay.
