Air Jordan 12 “Nubuck”
Posted by Matt Halfhill | May 19, 2009
Later this month, a trend starter returns. No, the Air Jordan 12 “Nubuck” was not the first retro to come in a non original color, but it was a first for a couple things that have become very common. They were the first shoes to be sold exclusively online. They were the first shoes to be sold in a package. Lastly, they were the first retro Jordans that broke the $200 mark at retail. That was then, but more than five years since their initial release, the Black/University Blue Air Jordan 12 will return.
This time around, the shoes will roll solo to retailers when they officially release May 30th for $150. Click here to have a better look at the upcoming Air Jordan 12 “Nubuck” retro.

Nope. I will be copping those Barkleys. Toro Bravo Pack is a no as well. I have the Grapes and we know that those trump the whole pack. The only J I will cop is the red/wht XIIs dropping at the end of the year. I’ve been waiting since 97 for those bad boys. I balled out in mine back then. Actually, I remember throwing the box away and wearing them joints right out the store. That’s old school. LOLOLOL
May 19, 2009 at 10:33 pm

May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm
I’m waiting foe the white/red and the bred flu game joints. these nubucks just don’t have enough color. to plain. now if the full grain leather part on the sides was blue they would have been some of the sickest shoes to ever come outta the jordan camp

May 19, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Explain me please, why there is such a hype around these kicks? IMO design is terrible
May 19, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Damn, wish they weren’t released so close 2 the raging bulls

TO SB ^^^^^
May 19, 2009 at 2:49 pm
^^^^^^^^^ footlocker always gets limited, it just depends on which store and their jordan liquidation, if u visit a footlocker usually a few days before they release, the stores usually recieve an email of which stores in their district are getting em.
who ever was debating on these or the white red…. get these, the Og white red is kinda ugly, it just looks like you stepped in ketchup. im debating on these or the package.
May 19, 2009 at 2:46 pm
nice but they look diffrent from the online retro wich i have im skiping on these i dont know about the quality
May 19, 2009 at 2:44 pm
