2011>2010>these(with the right cw)>2009 imo....prob will cop to ball in when they hit outlets but yeah, like Cuddy12345 said, I don't see why Jordan brand cant design a decent looking shoe. Haven't liked either of the Wade's and none of the Chris Paul's so far. Melo's line has been decent.

Waited until they hit the outlets to buy a pair of the 2011s. Looks like I'm gonna do the same with these. Aside from the big jumpman, these shoes aren't that bad, but they're also not worth it at the $180/$223 price range or whatever they're supposed to go for.

So they do a Carolina colorway finally, but for the ugly 2012?

I think they are now focusing on the Chinese market, with 1.2 Billion people, they only need about 10% of the market and that is more than the entire population of the US.
There is heavy marketing in China for Nike products, i saw all this when i was recently in Shanghai. Nike is seen as a sports luxury item there and cashed up Chinese people are buying it up.

I like them better with the high sock-liner, I may not find the Year of the Dragon c/w for the low but I am planning on finding a pair to like and wear around.

the question is, how much will Nike sell them in China?
I don't think that they could sell them well for 1.136 Yuan (180 USD)
at all. Maybe they sell well in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea where they also
celebrate the Chinese new year.

My thoughts to a tee. How can such decent turnouts be cranked out for Kobe, Lebron, Durant and the like while Jordan & his sig players' kicks look about a half click north of lukewarm trash? The KD IVs are sharp, I've bought a few pairs of Lebron IXs & the VIIIs were solid, I'm not a fan of Kobe or his kicks but this year & last, along with some others have shown cool designs that most agree are decent.
I've handled the 2012s & seen samples in person in about a dozen CW's, namely for NCAA as well as some GRs set to release & they're just not good. The materials are fine, whatever, hate on fuse/flywire or not, I don't mind seeing current technology in a legacy Jordan (supposed to lead the way every year...that's what the brand once stood for many moons ago) but the execution makes these unpurchasable.
I'll never own a pair of 2012s.

Agreed these are trash but you're a year behind with the rest of that comment. There was an AJ 2011 you know...

The 2012s just don't look good. The material placement and styling just don't do it for me. The wing tip toe is gross and I'm not digging the giant Jordan on the sig shoe - keep that for the team shoes. The colorways so far aren't helping either. When these hit the $50-75 price at the outlets like the last few models, then I'll consider buying a pair for playing in if and only if these get amazing performance reviews. Until then I'll buy something else for hoop...

I FIND IT HARD THAT JORDAN APPROVED OF THESE SINCE HE LIKES TO HAVE A CLEAN TOE. I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE MAN.

i am in china now, jordans are more expensive here than in the u.s., it is not uncommon for them to exceed rmb1200. check out nikestore.com.cn. i just checked, blackflips are RMB1369 and both nicks spizikes are RMB1499. i expect the 2012 will be around RMB1800.
i've asked at a local retailer about chi x, they said they've already presold them all.
