Air Jordan XII Retro and PE NBA Weekend


This past Friday, those who watched the Spurs/Bobcats and/or Suns/Hawks game were treated to an incredible display of Air Jordan XIIs. In Charlotte, Stephen Jackson was spotted balling in the Air Jordan XII “Rising Sun,” while his teammates D.J. Augustin and Gerald Wallace each sported Air Jordan XII PEs. That same night in Atlanta, Joe Johnson had also chosen to lace up a pair of Air Jordan XII PEs, (while his teammate Mike Bibby opted for another one of his favorites in the Air Jordan XIII low).

Last night in Toronto, the home team’s Amir Johnson was spotted in the red/white Air Jordan XII. The Dallas Mavericks’ Josh Howard, who has been the beneficiary of very nice Dallas Mavericks PEs during his membership in team Jordan Brand, was seen making cuts in his own Air Jordan XII PE. Which of the six Air Jordan XIIs spotted on the NBA hardwood this past weekend looked the nicest in your opinion?

Air Jordan XII Retro – New ‘Rising Sun’ Release Date

By now,  most of you have probably heard about Jordan Brand’s Air Jordan XII Retro ‘Rising Sun’ release fiasco. Originally set to hit retailers yesterday, October 24th, JB announced on Friday that they were delaying the launch of the collection – footwear, apparel, and accessories included. Rumour has it that issues with the ‘Rising Sun’ insole are the main reason for delay, but we’ll have to wait and see what changes are made in the new version to be sure. The new scheduled release date for the model is November 21st, leaving those of you who were fortunate enough to grab a pair before the recall with a solid month of exclusive ownership.jordan-12-rising-sun3

A series of Air Jordan XIIs releasing this holiday season was supposed to start off with a white pair nicknamed the “Rising Sun.” An initial release date was set for this Saturday October 24, 2009. However, we have now received an official statement from Jordan Brand regarding the pushing back of this release date. The people at JB state that they “regret to inform you that the Jordan Brand is delaying the October 24 launch of the Air Jordan XII Retro collection, which includes footwear, apparel and accessories.” Furthermore, JB asks that no retailers make the pair of Air Jordan XII’s available for purchase or even have them on display. JB also promises it “will be providing further direction on the product launch in the coming days.” So stay tuned to the same SneakerFiles channel for this and all other sneaker news.
