There's no color that would make this shoe attractive.

Is it just me... or did Jordan go by way of the colorway DNA from Lebrons China 9's?
Maybe Im just throwing mud and seeing what sticks...
Maybe Im wrong..

Since they have released the pictures for the white/black colorway I have liked the aesthetic. They are definitely different which is part of the appeal for me. I going to do me and get them if possible.

The Lebron 7, 8, and 9 are better than these.
The only nice thing about the YOTD is the box. I'd buy that box.

Are these growing on anybody yet? This angle makes the shoe look somewhat decent. I definitely prefer the lower look than the higher.Originally Posted by ijapino

Last week, Jordan Brand officially unveiled the Air Jordan 2012 ‘Year Of The Dragon’, detailed by a number of historic insignia and focusing on the significance of the number ’9′. That number serves as one of Michael Jordan’s lucky numbers as well as a meaningful icon in Chinese history. ’9′ is also the number of pieces you will see in the special packaging for the Air Jordan 2012 ‘Year Of The Dragon’; two shoes, two inner booties, three insoles, one special edition bag, and one oversized three-shelf box (nine pieces total) make up this year’s Air Jordan/Chinese Zodiac connection. You thought those Defining Moments or Collezione Packages were big? Those have nothing on the upcoming Aj 2012 Dragons. Check out the extra shot below and stick with Sneaker News for release information.
They look decent there. I also like the low booties better. The highs look really HIGH.

Lets face the facts, if Jordan Brand decided to use Dwayne Wade as the athlete to market these, we'd all probably think they look better. Examples other athletes wore Jordans, but his shoes got the most attention when Mike actually wore them (those of you who actually saw Jordan play know where I am coming from). Or Kobe with his low top signature shoes (most of us wouldn't be crazy about those if he didn't play in them) and even Lebron and the hyperfuse material. To be brutally honest I am glad they didn't use D. Wade, because they might have pulled me in like they did with the Jordan 2010 and 2011 (4 colorways from each series)! Now I can save some money! Lol!

And on the past, All air jordans that were worn by MJOn the basketball court in the NBA,The sales were always very high no matterThe design.I remember that the air jordan 10Sold badly like the 9 as MJ was retired.But once he came back and wearing theChicago 10, they sold out quickly!

Hasn't been a really good new model Air Jordan since the XVII. The XXI was okay at best and maybe the XXIII ... everything else sub par.

I Just dont like the color. It reminds me of the Chinese national flag of the Ching Dynasty (blue with golden dragon).Originally Posted by mikedamz
But traditionally, Chinese prefer red color.
