Enter The Dragon…
The Air Jordan 2012 is killing the game with the Year Of The Dragon release. First of all, the 2012 system is official tissue. The sneakers have three(3) different cushioned insloes and two(2) separate comfort sockliners. Then there’s the colorway of the AJ 2012 ‘Year Of The Dragon’ outer shell. FIYAHVERKX!!!
Okay, so allow me to break down the Air Jordan 2012 system to you…
The packaging is incredible. It really allows you to appreciate all the design work which goes into creating these shoes. You can see the consideration which went into this shoe from day one.
The theme of this sneaker system is that you get to choose your own flight, meaning you chose the comfort and performance level you want to have while wearing the shoes.
Three(3) different insoles for three distinct types of play.
Fly Around – Quick and low to the ground. Zoom Air heel unit.
Fly Over – Above the rim play. Zoom Air heel and Max Air forefoot unit.
Fly Through – Total Max Air insole for maximum cushioning.
After you choose your insole you have to select a sockliner. Hightop or low?
I prefer the hightop sockliner for the extra added ankle support.
You could almost wear the insoles and the sockliners without added the external shell but that is the last layer of structure and support in this shoe system.
The outer shell also has the POPP! -(c) SamColt12
Jordan Brand developed a shoe which even trumps the Kobe Bryant VII Supreme system. The feel was supportive without being too tight. A footglove possibly? Too bad that Gary Payton is retired now. He would have loved these kicks.
im all for comfort. but them kix look ugly as fuck.
i usually check this blog for fresh air… them shits is smogged…
Yea, these joints dropped in China around the beginning of the Chinese New Year – so mid-Jan. The cost is prohibitive, but the packaging and design is incredible.
Only because I got a connect with the Swoosh that would give me 50% off of the $223.23 price tag I’m considering the gray & volt joints, or I’ll hold out for the all black kits. I enjoyed the AJ2011 (again because I got them for 1/2 price) but I have to say the packaging is impressive but when you’re trying to make room in a closet full of sneaker boxes AJ packaging of late is like parking a Tahoe in a compact car spot. Sometimes MJ thinks higher of himself then most does.
PS – Dallas kudos for entering the first ring of the Shoemanati.
I’m interested in seeing some other colorways.. the design ain’t bad and the packaging is very impressive.. Lol @ the Tahoe comment.. that’s on point.
NO FUCKING WAY
Disregard my query under the outfit post, you answered all questions here. I’m still not sure about that design, though. Very radical. Maybe if they hit the factory store in a colourway that catches me… Chuckling at Sean P’s distaste for the joints.
Hello there! Quick question that’s entirely off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to
find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!
