The beautiful thing is my “back in the day” was the last release 2012. I was in HS, 11th grade and wanted em so bad . Two different eras for us probably, same love for the sneaker 🔥
The one that started it all for me. I remember waking up at 5am before school and saw these on RUclips back in 2012. Told my pops I wanted to get them, and he was shocked because it was early as hell and out of nowhere. Anyway, we didn’t have the money for them so I just looked ahead, saved, and ended up getting the Obsidian’s that released a month or two later, and I beat them joints to the ground. Glad I can say that I hit on SNKRS today and finally got ‘em. Crazy how times have changed!
I agree with you. 10 out of 10. One of my favorite sneakers of any brand of all time. I can still remember the first time I saw these when the originals came out back in middle school. I have loved them ever since.
Got them in hand and compared the ‘22 pair to the ‘12 pair and there’s a few differences. 2012 “Jordan” on the heel tab is red while the 2022 is white, 2012 Jumpman on the outsole is red while the 2022 is black, different pattern on the bottom and the eyelets are silver on the ‘12 while the ‘22 has a hint of bronze. Both are still good pairs
I've noticed that alot of people's first pair ends up being their favorite all time. I think its pretty cool. My first pair were "hand me downs" (parents would never pay for Jordans lol) cool grey 11s. They were worn in by the time I got them but I didn't care one bit I still loved them.
Still one of my favorite Jordan reviews by you. I still have a dead stock pair and one that I wear every now, and then. Such a beautiful and comfortable sneaker.
Super stoked I hit on the SNKRS Pass earlier today and I honestly can’t wait to get these in hand! Great review as always and very appreciative of the work you and Buckets do for the community!
@Tim I hear ya!! I rotate between about 70 other pairs including flu games and cherries, so mine probably won’t get all that dirty lol. Good point though!
I had these as a kid… and loved ‘em… the OGs were my favorite. I had them in like 3rd grade I think yeah. But the eyelets felt more metal as a kid. I loved this color way.
Hands down favorite jordan of all time!!! Very first pair I bought of Jordan's back in 97! Now all I need and my collection is complete is the jordan 13 playoff!!
I got married in these, it would be 10 yrs ago this year! My wife and I did our engagement photos in Oreo 6’s. We were married 6-2-12. I wanted to get the concords but couldn’t find them.
Every time I see or hear about this shoe I automatically think about Michael's shot at the buzzer in the finals against Utah. Not the last shot in 98 but the year before at home. It's so great to see that after 25 years since he wore these,their still iconic. All we need now is the cherries.
I really hope to hit on the Jordan 12 Playoffs next month , literally my all time favorite Jordan and all time favorite sneaker. The original releases of the Jordan 11s and 12s made me fall in love with Jordans & sneakers in general and turned me into a sneakerhead , the 12 Playoffs especially. The 12 Playoffs are grails for me , always in my rotation and a must cop. I am taking L's left and right lately but desperate to hit on these. I have two pairs of the 2012 Playoff 12s , one worn to death and the other rarely taken out of the box but are starting to yellow in a few spots ; so really hope to cop one or ideally two pairs of these for a refresh. Just love everything about the Jordan 12s - the silhouette , all the interesting hits and details , overall style ; the Playoffs in particular. The 12s are a super creative and unique sneaker imo , very underrated in that respect.
@@ryanwilson3147 good looking out , thanks , i heard a few rumblings myself. Between MJ's birthday , All-star weekend ; with already scheduled releases this could be a crazy week.
When jordan wore these in the 1997 playoffs with the white bulls home jerseys and black sox, it was a wrap. 16 years old working at Mall of America. Cashed my paycheck at lunch time and bought my first air Jordans. If you know you know.
AJ3 & AJ11 are atop my all-time favorite silhouette list. However, I seem to have amassed more 12s in my collection over any other. I wear constantly have a pair of 3s or 12s on foot. You are on point with your analysis Mr. Foamer, Sir ✊🏽
These are my absolute favorite Jordan’s. I really hope I catch a dub when they drop. I’ve wanted these since before the 2012 model released I always wanted so I’m crossing my fingers to get these for my collection ✊🏼 a lot of people down play these but your review justified it for me again lol. And you know it’s a hot one when buckets agrees with you 😂
I guess grew up out of this sneaker I have the 2012 and honestly don’t want them anymore. The same with cool gray 3s and 11s just not the same feeling my thing now are 1s and foams I’m just different now
That’s because everyone wants 1s now so now you want to follow the wave it’s not your fault I’ve been liking 1s more now but I still love all the other models
Worn my 2012 release twice. Absolute favorite. Wasn't gonna cop this release but it's gonna be hard not to. And fyi...FYI.... playoffs over taxis every day of the week!! Not up for debate!!
So excited to double up on this years release. Still got my 2012s crispy as hell, only thing is my outsoles yellowed. Other than the sole, they’re legit 9/10. But I’ll probably buy these everytime they come out lol
12s are high on my list of fav Js. These are a must cop. They so hard, Foamie put them joints straight to feet. 😆 10/10 across the board, if you know you know. One of the best colorways of the best shoes ever.
12s are my 2nd favorite Jordan silhouette, next to the 4s. The sheer amount of white on the outsole of the Playoff 12s gives me mad anxiety, though, so I still like the Royalty, Taxi, Flu Game, French Blue, and Cherry 12s better.
Such a classic. You can keep your Travis Flopps and off whites. Gimme a timeless classic any day!!. Just wish they would treat these classics with the respect they deserve and put more love into the materials used.
I had to order these we need more of the classic colors, I really what those cherry 12 those are my favorite 12. But I still love this color I remember being in junior high playing on a basketball team when those came out.
Was on the fence on the resell pick up on these and hoping for one more restock on these j23 playoff 12's but when buckets goes all in with a 🖐️🖐️ and you two agree 👍 it's a must purchase so I'm off the fence and must cop asap!!! You guys the best good looking !!!!!
Hi, thanks for uploading this video. Is it true that the recent Jordans (11/12/1, etc.) are just good for lifestyle wear and NOT for basketball/sports use?
These were always my favorite. These and the Bred 13s were the two shoes I could never get my hands on as a kid. The time is now! 😆
My mother still doesn't understand
These are 🔥 really need these
Facts lol
Plesse some body can tell me where i can buy one AJ this color is my favorite i live in lisbon
No taxis?
Playoff 12s are a magical sneaker. I'm reminded of back in the day when I see these. Took a W on these today.

Oh the memories! Bought these back in 2003 - 2004! The good ol days! 10/10

Yup these were my first pair i bought with my hard earned money back in 04 and my favorite. It’s weird I get all nostalgic over a pair of sneakers.
@@gabecervantes7703 in 89 my mom bought me the jordan 4 fire reds. Took me till 2021 to actually like the shoe
@@air_rue23 lmao
I had these as a kid so much nostalgia .
The 12 is just so classy looking, and they’re so comfortable. They look great on the foot also.
1) White/Cement 3's
2) Black/Infrared 6's
3) Playoff 12's
4) Concord 11's
5) Bred 4's
That’s a dope 🔥 lineup bro
Still one of my favorite Jordan reviews by you. I still have a dead stock pair and one that I wear every now, and then. Such a beautiful and comfortable sneaker.
These always nice! And 12s are really comfortable Js. We also need the gamma 12s to make a comeback!

Agreed! Jordan 12 is my favorite silhouette, always will be
The 12 is my second favorite retro Jordan. These are clean.
Got the cool grey 11s for retail for myself and my 3 year old, probably going for these too!! Best 12s besides flu games imo.
I think these are better than flu game
Cherries are the best
Cherry 🍒 x taxi 🚕 for me
Flu games and playoffs are dope too tho
Cherrys🍒 are the best to me
@Tim I hear ya!! I rotate between about 70 other pairs including flu games and cherries, so mine probably won’t get all that dirty lol. Good point though!
These random RUclips recommendations of past Jordan releases reminds me I need to wear my shoes..A year later mine haven’t even left the box

These release tomorrow here in Asia. Glad I got a W on these! Finally getting these as an adult, only staring at these as a kid from the shop window!

My first Jordan’s were the all red Jordan 12s🤘
I just got these today randomly and after watching this video I feel like I made the right decision! 😅 plus 12's are some of my favorite Jordan 🤷🏾♂️

Definitely a must have, gotta be my top 5 favs of all time but Jordan Brand need to stop playing and drop the Cherry’s again too.
It's a 10, best looking 12 colorway I've seen 👍
These were my first Jordans. Tankfully the release is all over the place as I causally walked into FL today and got my pair a week later.
This is a great Og colorway to start the year off I hope this means we getting cherry 12s soon

A 10 from Buckets !!!!!! I never thought I’d see the day

What's crazy is I like gold but the playoffs hit way better u speaking facts
W! These were my first pair of Jordans and I remember just having a blessed year when my mom copped them for me. Sentimental value for this pair.
