Air Jordan Retro XII French Blue - April 2016 NO BUYING, SELLING, OR TRADING

[gambit11]

 
All this. My preference is Local>NDC>FNL>International>Virtually anything else>Foot sites (EB/FTL/FTA/Champs)

Yeah I pretty much just do FNL>NDC when it comes to online. I don't bother to open the foot sites like ever anymore lol. 

 
I secured the Bordeaux 7s and Nike Air Cement 4s from footlocker.com.

Really??? The White Cement 4s you managed to get through there? That's insane.

True, @Bigsykedaddy  taught me the secrets of footlocker.com and its sister sites. If you played a lot of fighting games then you should have a chance at securing a sneaker on the sites. Also if it wasn't for @babyJs23's links I would have never secured them both.

Lol... I shouldn't need to use this thing to land 40-hit combos in order to drop $200 on shoes

Yes (this is for proof, not to brag. You know how some members are about that)

True, but it feels like a major victory when you secure them.

No card like the Masters. Quality is solid, somewhat on par with the '04s.

so is there hope for the flu games? How do these compare to the 09 or even 2012 12s?

Oh I had no idea what you were talking about.

 

[_stephen.p_]

wow, i didn't know nike was shipping these early as well.  looks like mine will be in wednesday.  

 

[edmunddantes2]

so I passed on the Masters and I really dont like the quality leather they used

anyone can describe the leather quality on the Frenchies? is it a different leather compared to the plasticky leather from the Masters?

or JB troll us again by using the cheap leather instead of using the premium leather like the one in J5 Low and J4 "Dunk From Above Collection" ( PREMIUM THICK LEATHER )

The shoes you mentioned don't feature premium leather, not even close. Get a caliper, thickness differences are in the noise.

Saw these in person yesterday, mighty solid

My advice:

1. Have the links set up the night before

2. Have your card information already tied to your account

3. Wake up at 9:40 am (if on the east coast)

4. Don't depend on nike.com (have a higher chance of securing them on footlocker.com and sister sites than nike.com)

5. Have your phone set like your computer

6. Play 2Pac

7. After you secure them and receive the order confirmation email play the Pokemon captured theme

LMAO @ #6. YESSIR!!! REPPED!!!

I dont see why there wouldn't be hope for the B/reds 12's. From a guy who has owned every Jordan XII rendition 97, 03-04, 08, & 12. These are def noticeably better than the last two retros. CDPs were just bottom tier with that deflated shape. The 2012-13 retros were an improvement on shape, and quality, but still needed improvement. In terms of construction these are on the similar echelon as the '04, which imo is the best rendition... *zips up flame suit*. 2004s just had the perfect balance of durability and comfort. The 97 retro was def a tank, but not as comfortable as the '04. Again, thats just for my preference.

When compared to my Taxis the white is more tumbled, and less synthetic so it doesn't give off that shimmery finish. Check most of your white Jordans from 2012-14, that white gloss overly on the leather gave off that plastic feel. The texture is much more softer than the Masters. The shape is good, and better than the '12. More of a high cut and less of a slope on the ankle collar around the heel. Hope that helped somewhat. These are my thoughts, others opinions may differ.

I haven't bought a 12 in years. These and the Flu Games will change that.

 

[andrewstevens]

Just ordered a pair of French Blues at a nike store. Just go on the computer screen and look up retro jordan 12 and do a order. Its probably because of Master 12's cancellation that they have this jig up now. Can't guarantee it will work at every store and if it will get canceled or not.
