  6. i don't like the perforations either, the patent leather doesn't look to good as well.

  7. bossup313 says:

  8. Cholly Da Beat Man says:

    These look good but if my Playoff XIIs are any indicator these will be harder than a mutha to keep clean.

  9. honestly i dont lke 12s that are only 1 color (all black,all white) I think the design of the show looks so much better in two colors

  10. these in my opinion are like da most garbage 12's ever dat is 2 much white

  11. I need these in my life, fresh to def on dat ass in some all wyte 12's

  12. gots to cop dey fresh

    im sittin dem right next to my nubucks

  13. white= yellowing quicker. they're nice though. coppin 2 pairs. maybe 3

  19. Exc!tement says:

    See…Thats wats really stupid about JB. If they would have released these now and the Black/Carolina Blue….That would have been way Effin Better. I didnt want the all blacc ones because summertimes comin and who wants an all blacc shoe!! Now when these come out…Even tho im gone get 'em…When the hell will I be able to wear ann all white sneaker in the middle of the winter…Sometimes I wonder what exactly do these brands be thinkin

  20. jayfay 07 says:

    i like these.. but dont quote me i think they will take the paten leather off these look like some early stage jordan's… but until then nubuck and my 11/12 package will have to do

  21. 90snikehead says:

    got countdown and nubucks will def pass on this get black red pair end of year

  22. HondaEngineering says:

    @Exc!tement

    Man… you make more since then allot of people on here.

    I never thought about it, but your right; this doesn't make any since this color way should have came out on the 30th of May, and the Black ones should be coming out it's place.

    Hey! I'm still getting them…

  23. SneakerBox says:

    now these are fresh and clean!

  24. SPRADLEY8 says:

    wtf is wrong with most of yall ppl. these r by far the worst 12s I have ever seen n my life. This is y JB is goin down hill

  25. Jigga Shutup says:

    Im guessing some rapper is going to wear these shoes with baggy jeans and a white tee looking all sloppy. STU PID N I G G E R SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Puahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  26. CHICAGOBULLS says:

    Man all three shoes comin at the end of the year are cold idk wat the fuck yall nigkaz crying about they all fresh either you got the cake for em or ya dont.

  27. DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. I absolutely LOVE THE 12'S

    but…….I might have to pass on these simply cuz

    I am NOT a fan of all white shoes

  29. i agree with frank the preforations dont do it for me, i might cop, but nike has 2 other kicks i am waiting for in holiday season, dang, santa better bring an extra bag lol.

  30. Yo Momma is ugly &am says:

    These are Dope and I am getting these btw I had a chance to get the black nubuck 12 but I passed on them.

  31. they look clean as sh!t. But i cant last long with all white shoes. But i still gotta roll with the Space Jams over ther 12s when it comes out the same month.

  32. Nice. But not nice enough. I need 3 pairs of tb3's and space jams. Sorry

  33. do i see printed carbon fiber right there?

  34. idk these r so so. id have to c em n person to c if i want to buy them. n if i did they goin straight to my schools gym to b hooped n

  35. These are like a 50/50 for me I still don't know.

  36. AirFresh232 says:

    another classic dead!

  37. THESE ARE NICE BUT CAN'T WAIT 4 THE BLACK/RED 12'S 2 COME OUT.

  38. these are fresh as sh**. Im def gonna cop those!!!

  39. His Airness says:

    These are too white.

    I like them, but I'd like to see them in person. As for the person who said that these should've come out this summer rather than in the fall, it makes perfect sense to me too!

    Good shoe, wrong season!

  40. His Airness says:

    At least it's not a fusion!!! Jordan Brand is trying…! I'll give them that!

  41. at first i hated them because they was all white. i was telling my folks that jordan has lost his mind then i see they put more detail into the sneaker, wow ima pick up these, the white and red retro 12's, and the black and red retro 12's how ya like me now

  42. I'd rather get sum fresh white air forces but there nice not that great cud do better

  43. His Airness says:

    If the side of the shoe were black, these could almost look like the playoffs 12s…!

  44. Mars Blackman says:

    The Joint is dumb ugly i was lookin forward to the till i saw the pics

  45. I dnt like em but im sure somebody will buy them

  46. these are fugly.. sorry JB but you failed on the retro of a good shoe. the holes realllly kill it.

  47. DJ Aspect says:

    you guys that claim first are morons!! who cares?? you might as well say "i have no life and sit here on the net 24 hours a day just to say "first". Idiots!!

  48. sneakerking86 says:

    The weakest wackest cw I have ever thanks jb for all yal effort to please the consumer lol

  49. These are hot I'm gonna cop these 4 sure

  50. At first i was like they messin up a classic but these do clean up nicely.

  51. soo now wee have all white 12z greatttttttt smh

  52. with some black socks, maybe some black laces from another pair of 12s these will look nice on. I dont see what the fuss is all about. its not like its some crazy colorway of purple, yellow, lime, burnt orange, or teal. white/black/red…simple…gotta understand the theme of the shoe. But it shouldve came out in may…and nubuck in the fall. Dont care…all 12s are bought this yr.

  53. phrshkiddb(23) says:

    dammm these hoes are clean..

    betta beleive im gettin dese too

  54. They ok, black/red cant wait..

  55. Iunno i think these are kinda fresh…i already got my Nubucks and i will def cop these and the otha XIIs coming out! Word!

  56. 23ForLife says:

    I’m a sucker for patent so definitely gonna cop these and all the other XII and the Space Jams! 2009 is killing me with all the packs and retro’s!

  57. the proven youth says:

    cant wait

    but im aint ever walkin in dirt again

  58. I dont know how I feel about these, yet. Initially I really liked (prob cuz I'm starved for more XIIs), but these prob will grow. i like the all white colorway and black back/bottoms.

  59. mysteriOusz1 says:

    THESE WOULD GET STEPPED ON TO THE MAXXXX ! IF YOU WERE TO WEAR THEM IN A CROWDED PLACE.

  60. LiquifiedDopeness says:

    i need some basketball shoes for home games this year….I guess these will do.

  61. Well if they would have put the "Rising sun" Graphic on the outside of the shoe then it would have looked worst. I like em but still wit get the Flu games over em.

  62. A true Jordan man can't sleep on these I'm gonna double up for sho', and on the next one too!

  63. the bottom pics look ok but imma cop da flus n cherrys
