Air Jordan 12 “Rising Sun”

Air Jordan 12 "Rising Sun"

Air Jordan 12 "Rising Sun"

The Air Jordan 12 “Rising Sun” will be released later this year. The Rising Sun Jordan XII’s composition pays homage to the Japanese Flag with the contrast stitching along the upper that resemble sun rays of the Imperial Japanese Army Flag. Today we get to see the Rising Sun in a different light and the Jordan XII in a different colorscheme. The Jordan XII is featured in a white perforated upper with a black heel tab. The insole shines through as it shows the Jordan Brand logo illustrated within the Naval Ensign. Expect these “Rising Suns” to set this October at select Jordan Brand accounts. via NT

    Huh?! There’s nothing about that shoe’s c/w that says rising sun. Nike trying to make something out of nothing.

  17. Comment by Vagrant Pistol June 15th, 2009 at 9:09 pm

    Huh?! There’s nothing about that shoe’s c/w that says rising sun. Nike trying to make something out of nothing. looks like a tug boat

  18. These is like a summer shoe they shoulda droped now to get ppl hype about the upcoming releases of the bred n cherry XII
    they would sell out faster if droped now cause they’ll look better in shorts n the XII hype would get 2 ppl n they’ll buy these as a warm up 4 the next XII,… Think Nike ! THINK !

  19. Correction JB* lol (goes 2 show both Nike n JB be fuckin up)

  39. Comment by HOUSTON_KICKS June 16th, 2009 at 9:04 am

    ^^^^^^YEA I REMEMBER NOW THAT STORE WAS SICK, I KNEW THE L.A. AVENUE SOUNDED FAMILIAR. THE PRICING ON SOME OF THESE GRAILS ARE A DREAM COME TRUE LOL

  40. Comment by Dr. Evil Genius June 16th, 2009 at 9:23 am

    I have worked in a few sneaker stores over a two-year period. Every 7th person begged us for White/White AF1s. Some would buy multiple pairs and clean us out.

    Now, Nike isn’t putting out a Fusion everyone complains about. No. They are putting out another retro. You know, the retros people complain aren’t released enough?

    Reading many of these forums leads me to believe that many of the people here continually complain for the sake of complaining. This whining destroys your credibility.

    Back on topic: I was skeptical about there being another shoe worth buying other than the SJ XIs. I just bought the Black/Black/University XIIs and I don’t like them as much as when I first bought them. These White/White XIIs are sure to be part of my collection upon release. I will be sure to have new packs of Wet Ones with me when I sport these clean kicks.

  41. Comment by hyestylekid June 16th, 2009 at 9:23 am

    THEY COMIN OUT AROUND THE WRONG TIME FRAME THEY SHOULD BE DROPPIN THIS SUMMER BUT THEY A CLEAN SHOE WOULDNT WEAR EM TOO MUCH THO

  42. Comment by D-money June 16th, 2009 at 10:21 am

    I like these,not alot but they worth coppin.I might just copp 2 to keep a pair ds.Its goin to be kinda hard tryin to find some jeans with these to make it look right but I work somthing out.

  43. Comment by Ewing_fan33 June 16th, 2009 at 10:45 am

    Gotta copp these, the detailed pics look better than before…I agree their a summer shoe, but im glad they are waiting to release these to much is comin out this summer army 5’s, DMP 1’s, DMP 7’s, True Blue 3’s so my pockets will hurt not to mention i gotta get the Do the Right Things…These are hott to wear out to the mall or something but definately will not hoop in these

  44. Comment by B_2_sick June 16th, 2009 at 10:53 am

    yooo these are nice good job JB

  45. Comment by edizzle June 16th, 2009 at 11:16 am

    very nice. i like these. there hasnt been many new colorways that ive liked. so far this is one of the very few recent j’s that i might cop. good job jb.

  46. Not a huge fan of XII’s, but I will grab a pair of these joints!

  47. Comment by FlyySkyy June 16th, 2009 at 1:54 pm

    yeah, these is iight. i prolly wont cop cuz i GOTTA get the Cherry joints. but the more of ya’ll that like em, will prolly free up some Cherry’s para mi. but they’re better than i thought. the perforated part is tight… so is the inside (i think)

  48. Im not an all white typa guy at all. and wen i 1st heard about this colorway i wus thinkn hell na, but after seein the pics i like them. NICE il cop if i have money

  49. Comment by roclachamp June 16th, 2009 at 4:55 pm

    i was not feeling these when they announced the cw, but after seeing the pics I really like them. They r very clean and the details on the shoe make them different than other XIIs. I wanted to buy some Gourmet kicks that look just like these, but y not just buy the real thing

  50. 12’s that can breathe is a win, in and of itself.

  51. Comment by royal swagness June 16th, 2009 at 6:26 pm

    Here’s Another Reason Y R U Complan N Dat They R White.If Ur A Sneakerhead Wit A Collection U Would Rock 2x Or Once A Month.

  52. Comment by (Overdose on Aquas) June 16th, 2009 at 6:55 pm

    ^^^No, if you’re a sneakerhead then you wouldn’t have to own an all white base sneaker, unless your game was wack.LOL. But that’s my opinion, to each is own. It’s a nice shoe, don’t get me wrong, but I will pass on these because I know that the bottom would get dirty, and white shoes will turn yellow over a period of time. I learned that the hard way with my 03 White/Cement III’s.

  53. Comment by D.C.sneaker_freaker June 16th, 2009 at 8:08 pm

    to all the punks talkin about ppl claimin they too white…i’ve read every comment on here….even my own which was the first one….so i guess im lying when i say….”their beautiful..bot you gotta cop two cus they WILL get dirty quick”? is that true or not? what all white shoe doesn’t? and when in my first post did i complain you “doo-doo for brains half read skim the rest sneaker heads”?

    white/reds > rising sun.

    Wack. Why Would They Drop
    These in The Winter Anyways.????

  56. Comment by royal swagness June 17th, 2009 at 7:23 am

    U Guys Want 2 Know What Would Of Been Smart.Drop Da White 12’s In May And Da Nubuck 12’s In October.So Every1 Could Of Rock The White Pair During Summer.

  57. Comment by Southern Hospitality June 17th, 2009 at 5:44 pm

    THOSE STUPID ASS HOLES IN THE LEATHER KILL THESE FOR ME AND WHY DO JORDAN BRAND HAVE TO HAVE A GIMMICK THO RELEASE SOME SHOES JUST CALL THEM RETROS ITS NOT LIKE RISING SUN IS A SPORTING EVENT BUT MORE MONEY IN MY POCKET IS HOW I SEE THEM

  58. Comment by canderson_881 June 20th, 2009 at 11:52 pm

    These are nice. Since I’m gonna get these, I’m gonna pass on the all white 12s. It rains in Portland, Or all the time, so I won’t be able to rock them in October. =[

  59. release the original 9s or 13s then call me

  60. Comment by Xklusiv September 7th, 2009 at 9:15 am

    This is dumpin on whateva utha 12’s are droppin cuz it makes em look so old skool. From top to bottom, it’s a masterpiece. I gotta listen to classical music as i flip thru pikchaz of em. Whoeva dont like these must not know how to dress. They must like tha Jay’s that already come wit a full outfit in FootLocker. They must wanna dress like tha manequin. Tha perf leatha is genius. I’m gettin em n im sittin on em. aint gotta worry bout gettin em dirty cuz i aint puttin em on til i get to where im goin. And im coppin 2 pairs. U can even throw these on wit a fresh uh khakis n jus crush tha scene. Honestly, these shyts are fukin wit my Pradas n Dolce kicks. They look that hot.

  61. Comment by Xklusiv September 7th, 2009 at 9:32 am

    To all tha ones complainin bout how these are a “summer shoe”, go get some winter boots. This is tha perfect time to drop. Real sneaker heads bless tha day these come out so they can watch all tha utha dummies rock theas out over tha winter n mess em up before tha spring. Real sneak-heads hol on to em n put em up til that time. Unless u got a fly ass outfit in tha forth quarter season that u gotta u gotta bless wit these shoes. Tha beauty bout these shoes is that it aint even completely white. that woulda been tacky. Instead they add tha black on tha tongue and tha back wit just a hint of read. tha 3 best colors in any shoe. I can think of 10 outfits fa these shoes fa NE season. This shoe is really for tha fashion-inclined. Only fresh dressers need apply
