The date for the Air Jordan 12 “Rising Sun” has finally been confirmed! With all the hectic changing of release dates on the LeBron, Jordans and so on, Foot Locker has announced November 21 as the confirmed day for an official drop.
Rumors circulating the web imply that the Japanese military-inspired image on the insole led to international controversy and a redesign on that piece. As for an official explanation, nothing has been heard from Jordan Brand.
Now that we know when you’ll be able to get widely, are you going to head out on that Saturday in November and grab your own pair? |

I Know Why There Was A Recall. The Japanese Thought Michael Jordan Was Stepping On The Flag (The Insole Design). Its Was Something Like That

I hear the delay in the U S is because of the insoles……..Asia edition did not have the Rising Sun insole…….at least that’s what I’ve read on a few websites.

Oct 28, 2009 at 2:13 pm
these were already out on Saturday at my local footlocker. the long side piece is actually white patent leather which throws it all off. i skipped on these.
Oct 28, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Oct 28, 2009 at 1:22 pm
…….o well flu game, white/red 12s and space jams all releasin right after this. Looks like i will pass on this after all. This past sautrday woulda been a definte cop but now with the date being so soon to the others this pair doesnt seem as good as the others
Oct 28, 2009 at 1:20 pm

Oh but money… they will make
Oct 28, 2009 at 12:48 pm
ehh don’t know what i think of these… and i agree with JB space jams top these every day
Oct 28, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Already got them.
Oct 28, 2009 at 12:35 pm
what a mistake by JB to delay them, they are going to lose some sales on these. I for one with the flu games, space jams, and white/red XII’s releasing all within a months time i am not going to have the money for these as well. if they released saturday i would have bought them.
