Jordan XII Black/Red AKA Flu/Food Poisoning Game - Confirmed for 2025

[doublemesh96]

03 was before they really started ruining them with that sharp angle in the mudguard and banana shape

They weren’t og shape but they were at least acceptable. We are currently at unacceptable until they retool it

 

[bestintheworld]

Love these but really on the fence for now. 2016 pair still going strong. Can never go wrong with a pair of breds so I’ll probably cop

 

[marztharealist]

I bought this used pair of these a few weeks ago, before this annoucement. I didn't realize how bad the previous owner creased them.​

I wanted to just buy a DS pair, but I didn't wanna pay $550+ for them. Plus, they're 9 years old and 12's are known for separating.​

Get some moisture in the upper with a steamer stuff them and reshape them it will work. You can even iron the crease out as well pop a shoe tree in there

03's

Man glued his back together

 

[All Ready]

I’ve had this shoe multiple times and sold them without wearing them every time

maybe I’ll try again

I just feel they never got the red right or just arent that appealing to me as the other og 12s except the playoffs

 

[Magic33]

Have the last pair, how will these be different?

 

[jordanhead718212]

Unless they totally revamp the shape of the 12 to be taller and bulky like the OGs (which I doubt they will), they'll probably just look like the White/Reds from last year.

 

[whiteylikejs]

I passed on the last one's and the recent Playoffs. Can't do 12's no more, I mean it is based on a woman's French dress shoe...

 

[slaughterx]

lol

 

[miguelito]

Time is flying, my 2016 are still deadstock lol

AND?

 

[RustyShackleford]

Hopefully the shape is improved

I returned my 2016 pairs a day after they were delivered because I couldn't stand the shape

Guaranteed it will be exactly like the white reds that just came out. Which I have and I think the shape on those sucks.

 

[urn0tlike]

We’ll def at least get the softer leather like the playoffs and cherrys but shape does need tweaking but can’t see it being improved.

 

[Liquid Swords]

Reshaping and going back to OG shape would be sick but we know that aint on their agenda. Just hoping they don't **** up the Flu Game.

Still copping pairs tho

 

[OldManJays]

Why was the shape on ANY Jordan ever changed to begin with?

 

[jordanhead718212]

"Lost molds"

Because some dipstick thought it was a good idea to preserve the original releases for the ~oG sNeAKeR COlleCtorS~

[ill4eva]

Oh man, you’re now about to summon all the Gentry stans.

 

[Kierris]

I still gotta grab the playoffs before resell gets too crazy. Don't know why I slept

You know I rock with you brother but this is a terrible take. Gentry revitalized the sneaker game and JB as a whole. We got some classic colorways under his belt and a lot of ambitious ideas, even if they all didn't land. Gentry's creativity is what's missing from JB now. Idk how anyone can call themselves a sneakerhead and hate Gentry. All the 2nd round retro+ colorways y'all have been pining over came from Gentry lol. I know it's cool to pile on but dude was the most vital part to the JB renaissance. Hopefully he can come back and spark something new in JB. They seem to only be super successful when he's in charge.

12s will more than likely get a shape closer to OG in 2026/27 during their 30th.. which reminds me, how do they do the 30th when for example the 7s released towards the end of ‘91 yet they/we only count them as ‘92 hence the Cardinals in 2022? Shouldn’t it be ‘91?

So for 12s they should be 2026, 11s 2025, etc. I always found that a little confusing.

I’d rather these get done right in 2026 (1996 OG Taxi release) and they do the Foams the year after instead of lumping them in together in 2027 cause that’ll definitely be an expensive year

I'm quite sure 7s dropped around Feb. 1992.
