Example of a nice looking pair I saw on ebay... 

They look really good in these pics.

 If they actually look like these when they release, I'll be happy

OG's weren't comfortable with the weight and high cut.

I disagree, i think they're the same for comfort. The originals are much heavier. They even feel more dense, and solid in your hand. But you can equally feel those air pockets cushioning your feet like clouds on both generations. I've never had a problem with the slightly higher cut on the original either.

I've noticed though, that you really need to pay attention to how you lace the 12's in general. If you do tie too loose, the way its designed the tongue doesnt keep your foot planted inside, so your heel will pop out. And to counter this, your mind will tell you to walk funny to avoid losing your shoe. Its a heavy shoe either generation, so you have to tie it properly, and you'll be rewarded with happy feet

^ Yeah I agree. I had OG's and they were comfortable and they were as youngn's say here-tanks. The OG's lasted a long time. Threw my taxi's away in 2000 and they were an EVERYDAY shoe. To me, the cut is the same (I have the white/uni blue retros). These should be straight tho.

I can't wait til these drop. Should have my FTL reward card by RD... well I hope I have it by then

 

[bence23]

Quoting because these are too dope!


Especially the first 2 pics.

Hope they look like THAT!

My 04 still in good shape but I'm coppin these also

 

[bryonrussellhustle]

These should have came out with the black/red 11's on the CDP instead of the corny taxis.

 

[crh1979]

Those last pics look nice. I hope I don't have to scramble too hard for these.

Sorry to burst the bubble but the hype will build on these and half the hood will be camped out for these.

i think the 2010 cherry 12's was theee last to come with a retro card! 

 

[marcmac360]

^ those look like somethin you buy at the swap meet for 75 bucks. Good god how hard is it to get one of the simplest jordans design-wise so wrong...

Dude doing this in almost every sneaker thread.

 

[theprinceofde]

^ Either way they are still pics of the sneaker its not like he said he had them for sale right now its really not that serious

 

[frenchblue23]

It's probably just the angle (maybe) but the only issue with the shoe above is the soft stitching "flat" look. 

In comparison...
