Air Jordan Fusion 12 vs. Air Jordan 12 Playoffs
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Mar 8, 2008Since the late 80s, the Bulls have developed a tradition that when playoff times came, it was time to lace up in black kicks. This is why all “Playoff” edition colors of Air Jordans are black based. In the 1996-97 season, MJ was short changed in the MVP voting, losing to Karl Malone, but Mike sought revenge beating Malone and the Jazz in 6 while earning NBA Finals top honors of MVP.The Air Jordan Fusion 12 “Playoffs” release this weekend. This is the fourth colorway of the Jordan 12 Fusions to release, but just the second that will be widely available to the public as a general release. Though you shouldn’t have much of a problem grabbing the shoes in stores, you can get them with the convenience of online shopping at Finishline.

Mar 8, 2008 at 6:45 am
this is xactly why i like this site…when they do the side by side pics keep em up!
Mar 8, 2008 at 6:59 am
^^^ def agree
Nice Kicks’s photo skills are on another level. I’m afraid to ask what that camera cost!
But real talk, if i was JB i’d start sending the shoes to Matt so he can do them justice rather than Air Randy making them look like pieces of ish.

these r dope
Mar 8, 2008 at 9:15 am
I like the playoff fusions… But this just reminded me how bad I want some playoff XIIs. Anyone have them in a 13, contact me, OG or retro.
Mar 8, 2008 at 10:01 am
one of the better fusions to come out
Mar 8, 2008 at 10:06 am
I hope Jordan Brand come out with those playoff 12’s with the 11/12 package in December. Probably not. Those are real nice.
Mar 8, 2008 at 10:38 am
sorry, i was never really into this fusion thing, they are cool, but i would much rather save my money and cop those 9’s n 14s.
Mar 8, 2008 at 10:41 am
Excellent pictures! The comparison is great probably helped sell more fusions. JB should hire NiceKicks.

Mar 8, 2008 at 12:43 pm
man puttin des next 2 sum real 12′z make da fusions look like str8 trash man. da 12′z r killin des fusions man dey not even worth the money man 4 real.
Mar 8, 2008 at 1:05 pm
I personally dont like these fusion kicks….i more into the original jordans like the 1,3,4,5,6,7,10,13…..not this new garbage…
Mar 8, 2008 at 1:10 pm
These are garbage. In fact, the whole AF1-Jordan Fusion idea is garbage. (except for the 3’s and 5’s-only cuz those are my favorite J’s) Why would I shell out $150 for Fusions, when I can just buy a pair of j’s? (or stack another $150 and get a countdown pack) I’m a sneakerhead, but I’m not stupid! I bet every person who scoffed at the idea of payin $100+ for any of the “premium” af1’s feels like a dumb*ss after buying any fusions. But thats just my opinion.
Mar 8, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Although I’m not into the Fusions, I like this particular pair. With that being said however, I would much rather wait on the return of the Jordan XII..They were on another level and at the time they were released, they (along with the Jordan XI) were so much better and more distinctive than any other shoe out at that time!
Long live the ’90s!
Mar 8, 2008 at 1:22 pm
shoulda been leather
Mar 8, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Not really wild about fusions but this colorway is undeniable! I wish they made playoff XIIs in nubuck..that’s one thing I can sure see!
Mar 8, 2008 at 2:09 pm
they awright!!
Mar 8, 2008 at 2:28 pm
They not a must have for me.
Mar 8, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I just would like to say that the Air Jordans Fusion 12 “Playoffs” are hot. I just bought them this morning. I just really wish that they were leather.
Mar 8, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I love em but my playoff 12s are better saving money for the countdown pack ya digg!!
Mar 8, 2008 at 3:35 pm
THOSE ARE SOME CLEAN SHOES YOU. FELL ME!
Mar 8, 2008 at 4:20 pm
I hope Jordan Brand come out with those playoff 12’s with the 11/12 package in December. Probably not. Those are real nice.
Comment by lcsupa — March 8, 2008 @ 10:06 am
Im pretty sure the white/red XIIs are confirmed.
Mar 8, 2008 at 4:56 pm

Mar 8, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Yeah. The fusions look like crap compared the 12’s. The 12’s are killing the fusion playoff’s. Should’ve made them leather.
Mar 8, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Wack. Just give me the 12’s.
Mar 8, 2008 at 8:14 pm
I GOT MINE ON DECK
Mar 8, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I love the 12’s but I just dont see myself paying $150 for some fully equiped AF1’s. Its like buying a customized honda for the same price as a brand new Benz!!
Mar 8, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Mission Accomplished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mar 8, 2008 at 11:49 pm

Not bad they are okay, but hey anybody need any Jordans, Dunks or AirForce One’s hit us up.
Mar 10, 2008 at 5:35 pm
I am an avid fan of the Air Jordan collection.
Being around since the first Jordan came out in early 85,
and all the way through every release, I have seen some great designs, and abysmal failures.
The Jordan 1 was an updated ultra premium AF1, it was a great shoe but not the most comfortable.
The 2 was an expansion of the 1, with the birth of some new technology in the outsole. It featured many design cues which were apparently very popular in sneakers at the time.
The Jordan 3…Instant classic. Arrived shortly after the AF 2.
The 4, 5, 6, and 7 were all instant classics. The 7 was OK to me not the best, pretty much a fancy glorified Air Hurache.
The Huraches actually looked nicer too at the time.
The Jordan 8, was horrible looking. I didn’t even think that it was a Jordan shoe, the 9…worse. all leading into the bootleg 10. Anyone who likes the Jordan 10 knows very little about Jordans. THEY HAD SHOES AT K-Mart at the time that looked exactly like the 10. You couldn’t tell the difference, except that the outsoles were plastic.
The 11 to me is pure garbage. The only leather on that they had oon that shoe was the patent, the back by the achilles heel, and thats it. $175 for a shoe that was made with 75% man made materials, and low cost ones at that. Canvas, Simple all white EVA outsole wit a clear sole. The 12’s were nice.
The 13’s were a great example of how low you could and still sell Jordans. The upper was 50% nylon, and 50% Man made “NikeBuck” leather. They looked nice but cheap at the same time. The Jordan 14 was decent. The 15 was alright.
The 16 was amazing! The 17 too. The 18…OK the 19…Bootleg again, but from what I heard amazingly comfortable. The 20 made me think about the vast amount of drugs the designers were taking. The 21’s were decent, The 22’s redeemed the Jordan brand in a good way, and the 23’s were nice too.
I have the Black/White/Taxi Fusion 12’s,
The Jordan 3 “Black Cats”,
And a pair of ones.
These shoes are amazing! They are just as comfortable; if not more comfortable than my old Air Max 180’s!
The sole looks and feels like it is hiding a full length air max unit in the shoe under the leather sole wrap.
Mar 10, 2008 at 6:41 pm
YO I COPPED THOSE BAD BOYSZ THIS WEEKEND, AND THEY IS HOT!!!!!!!!! THEY MAD COMFORTABLE. THEY ALSO RUN BIG, SO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BIG FEET, CAN GO HALF A SIZE DOWN……:) YO, BUT ON DA REAL, THEY IS CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mar 11, 2008 at 9:15 am
these fusions are FRESH!!!…Not a bigg fan if he the 12’s but the 12 playoffs are my favorite ..if they have those in the 11/12 package along witht the spacejam 11’s that is going to be the best package hands down!!!!
Mar 11, 2008 at 9:27 am
SHOULD OF BEEN LEATHER !!! THEY RE RELEASE IN LEATHER !!!
Mar 11, 2008 at 9:28 am

Mar 12, 2008 at 9:57 am
India, keep one pair and sell the other. That’s what I did with the 13’s in the 10/13 pack.
Mar 13, 2008 at 11:55 am

these is hard as hell i gotta get some
Mar 22, 2008 at 12:45 pm
i think that fusions are nice and i think that the people who make these have good ideas. but i dont see why jordan and nike is going head to head about these shoes it not even worth it to me.and wat is the point for making these shoes. how i feel about the situation is that long as you is you are making your money for you product then you should not worry about wat people say about you and your products
Mar 22, 2008 at 2:20 pm
icopped da all black suades with the leather nikes already and those aint finna be out for a while!..

The 12 fusions are ok but there is nothing like the original playoff 12s which I happen to have a pair of.The Dec. paccage is supposed to consist of the taxi 12s and the Space Jam 11s(which I also have-original) but it really doesn’t matter whatever 11 and 12 comes out I have to have those two are the illest Js ever hands down!!!
