I usually don’t do this but I figured I would see how everyone feels about it.
Once in a while I will get a sneaker in prior to the release date and when that happens I can take some detailed images for those of you who may want to see up close images and detailed features on the shoe.
If this is something that you enjoy please let me know in the comment section below, if its not something you wish to see here just let me know as well… I wont take offense to it.

this is pretty great man – it helps us decide whether or not we are actually 100% sure if we want to cop a shoe or not. i just don’t like it when other sneaker sites have like over 10 different links of “buildups” to a shoe as the release date of a certain shoe approaches. it, in my opinion, really gets old and annoying.
Thanks. I dont like flooding either… if there is a restock or something available or pre-order then I dont mind publishing but I’ll post detailed images of release when I can.
Definitely a welcome addition to your site. I’d suggest, especially with retros like this, that you mention if there are any differences in material construction, tech and other stuff websites may fail to mention. For example, I didn’t know the Playoffs XII had plastic eyelets until I held them in person. Do these have plastic eyelets as well? Info like that would be extremely helpful. Keep up the great work!
Thanks. I actually go over that info in the video reviews. Maybe next time I will post the video along with the images for those who missed it.
yeah, i just saw the video now lol. it would be cool if you posted the video along with the images
Hey, great post and pics man! Sorry if this is out of the topic, in your opinion, are these suitable for outdoor games? Especially the sole. Thanks for your feedback! Love all your reviews!
Thanks! The 12 is a boot so outdoors will be just fine with them. The jordan 12 is ones of the most durable in the entire series.
This is great. Thank you for helping us decide by showing the quality of these retros. thanks NW2303 and more power
Appreciate it
I gotta be honest, this wouldn’t be the most original idea BUT I actually like that you have close up pictures and I could see the detail better than just some YouTube video etc. I think this is a good addition to your site and I look forward to more posts
Has anyone heard anything on whether the taxis are gonna release this year? Might just have to get the obsidians since I missed out on the playoffs.
Do they use the usual stiff crappy leather and are they worth 160$ (200$ in Canada) quality wise?
Thumbs up! I would love to see more posts like this.
Nightwing, do these 12s run true to size or a half size big similar to the playoff 12s this year? The sizing would be a great addition to your blog to help us decide what size we should purchase.
You could go down 1/2 sz if you want a true fit.
