"The Air Jordan “French Blue” Retro 12 will release 4/2 at select City Blue stores. We have been told the 4/9 shift is unsubstantiated rumor."
Sooooooo
FTL and City Blue confirming 4/2, Villa pushing back to 4/9, blogs saying 4/9 and not a peep from Nike.

No we understand what it is. Saying X shoe has a release date somewhere between, say, April 1st and June 20th is one thing. Announcing a firm date months in advance and then two weeks out you push it back a week and a week later push it back another week is just silly. It accomplishes zero and aggravates everyone.
If there really is some logistics issue then they should just call of the release until further notice. If it's really that big of a deal to where they had to push it back TWICE then just remove it from the calendar and let us know when you get it together.

Damn these got pushed back again? 
I mean, it gives me more time to save up some money in case I decide to double up I suppose, but i'd really just rather have the one pair already so I can enjoy them.

So basically placeholder means, try to create hype and the perception of having this complicated release system when it's only pushing a release date forward or back by a week or two lol

Seems like it.
Nike has replied to at least 6-7 people in the last hour confirming 4/2.

This is as close as we'll get. Considering the sources confirming 4.2 outweigh those saying 4.9, I'm gonna keep faith in next Saturday.

I feel bad for stores that will be bombarded with questions about release dates for weeks on end now. Hype doesn't need to be built these days, it's the information age, we know about shoes, and see multiple pictures (even though most are fakes) months in advance. Delaying a release for a week will have only minimal effects on hype, people who are in are in regardless. I just don't understand the point of this new system.
The only benefit I see for Nike and JB for this is the fact that they can shift dates in response to other brands releases (Ex. Adidas) so they don't fall on the same days....

Never said I don't use nicknames so what is there to prove? Also I told the Fragment 1 thread on the restock. I did say "The Master" 12s in this thread and that's a nickname so...
Did lie, just because I don't say it in each thread doesn't mean I didn't say it

Anyways, Foot Locker still has these set for the 2nd. When are they going to update if the 2nd delay is true

It makes sense in a crazy sort of way.... The hype was already big as ever before... Their is no need to add extra attention to this particular model..
It doesn't matter if a yeezy or whatever drop on the same day a retro drop.... JB/Nike soars over competition without a doubt on any RD...
