Air Jordan 12 “Rising Sun” Available Early
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Jul 17, 2009 Jordan Brand brought back the Air Jordan 12 earlier this summer with the re-release of the “Nubuck” Jordan 12’s. JB is far from finished with the silhouette this year with a couple more releases coming before the end of the year. One of these is the “Rising Sun” Air Jordan 12 which pays homage to the source of inspiration Tinker Hatfield received when designing the first Air Jordan shoe that was part of the Jordan Brand franchise. Perforations on alternating panels give the subtle tie to the Rising Sun flag of Japan as well as details on the insole.
Though Jordan Brand has not officially released a drop date for these shoes, they are available now online at RMK. Heads up from Daily Drop. |

Jul 17, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Why do I feel like I’m the only one that thinks these are hella ugly? Too much white, not enough contrast, especially on a shoe that is built for contrast with all the different panels and such. This is coming from someone whose favorite shoes may be the playoff 12s.
Jul 17, 2009 at 5:19 pm
wanna see in person
Jul 17, 2009 at 4:26 pm
gotta cop dont care how much or how long i gotta wait in line

Jul 17, 2009 at 2:17 pm
The 12’s are my favorite Jordan’s but I do not like a mostly white 12. I’ll just get these and resell for 230 in the future.

I didnt like them when I first saw them but now, these are fire. ordered my “True Blue” 3s from RMK yesterday $265 not too bad considering i can’t take the risk of them not ever droppin in the US again.
