I bought my 1st pair of Jordan’s the Allstar Game & Playoff 12’s that just released 2022. I remember this video and you giving a great review and your stamp of approval. So 9 years later I got them! And I’m going to to play in these and Ball! 🏀
I swear ur the only guy on RUclips that does this kind of thing and I have to say thanks for keepin me informed I've bought so many shoes thanks to ur reviews and u don't lie
I hooped outside in the flu games for a few summer straight. one of my favorite shoes to hoop in. after awhile I ended up wearing all the way through the sole and into the zoom unit, no regrets tho.
How long did they last you with outdoor ball? I really want to buy these, but I'm mainly an outdoor baller and doubt the traction's durability on these is high.
Great review and I especially like the point you made about playing in leather.To me it will always be a preference over the current tech of various plastics.I think with us it's the fact we grew up in the 90s.
I used to ball in the originals. Best shoe I ever wore. The leather! I would take baseball glove oil and soak em literally like a glove. Fit totally like a glove.
Another great review. Surprising how some shoes may not look it, but that have it where it counts. I was never a big fan of the 12 until I purchased a pair. Now I think they are a great shoe and one of favorite Jordans!
Your comments about the comfort and heel-toe transitions with a full-length zoom unit remind me of what I thought when comparing the Kobe 7 to the Kobe 7 Elite. The Elite is full-length zoom while the regular version is just targeted. It makes all the difference in the world.
honestly, when i played with my flu games recently, i had a lot of issues with the laces coming untied. same with the 13's, happens a lot to the recent 12's/13's
If you want dress nice get Jordans. Trying to play basketball get Kd's or rose's. If you wwant something in between then Lebron X, kobe's, foams, penny 5
Nice review! I love these to ball in also, have a few pairs. My metallic lace lock did come off on my black/university blue nubuck pair though...nothing a lil glue couldn't fix! Love my 12's!!!
make sure to try what is best for you in the inside. I can only give you advice that on Rose 3 which looks hot but if you have wide feet you find it narrow. I changed it jordan retro 9. Good luck whatever you decide.
I wanted these but I ended up getting the blue and white ones back in 97 since I already had the taxis. I remember these and the blue and white came out in the same day
I come away with the same impression of the AJ12. I have the OG Playoffs and OG BREDs, and they are a little softer than the retros, but I find the stiffer leather provides better support. This is a decent outdoor shoe because it's so durable. (Nice pass in your court cam btw dude.)
I had 3 of these AJ12's like 2012 Cherry, 2014 Gamma Blue and 2016 Playoffs low because of their great cushioning. Best way to describe it as close to the cushioning of adidas' boost but more on the sportier/firmer side. Never knew that it had the full length zoom. Best Jordan shoes to hoop in aside from the AJ21. Great review, I also didn't mind the lack of breatheability of this shoe as I just wanted the performance of it.
I had the original release of this shoe in high school and they were great...until the top metal lace holder broke off while lacing them up. That totally ruined the shoe because there are no eyelet holes its just the metallic loops at the top and if they come off you're screwed.
Hey nightwing, if you can do a review of the Adidas crazy fast. I have them and I personally think their good. I just want to see what you think. Thanks!
I have the master color way of this shoe and when i first got them i didn't know how to lace them and i pulled off the gold lace tips and now have to be really careful lacing them up because they are now really loose.
Great review! Answered all the questions I had about this shoe, especially for never having owned a pair of 12's. Looking forward to the French Blue on 3/26. Keep up the great work bro!
As others have said awesome intro, gr8 honest review as per usual Can't wait till ya get to the 13s, are u going to use the 2013s? the BReds? that horrible colour or the He Got Games that are gonna drop, or others?
It's been a while since I played in xii's I played in them my freshman year and I'm planning to get into a rec league and I'm trying to decide what to play in xii-xiii's or bron x's but again great review I still love the aj project #salute

Night wing u should do this series again revamped
Brian Eke pls do
uhhhh theres a lot of other guys that do this too. Nightwings just top o'the class
I see u tom
exactly. Reduces a bit of flexibility but the comfort is amazing in return.
Pure design and mix of colors. I remember being hypnotized by that shoe back there.
12, 13 and 14 are my top 3
I had no idea the 12s have full length zoom. Always thought that it was targeted zoom. You learn something new everyday! Thanks my dude.
I swear ur the only guy on RUclips that does this kind of thing and I have to say thanks for keepin me informed I've bought so many shoes thanks to ur reviews and u don't lie
Nice! 12's are ridiculously comfy. Haven't balled in em since back in the day but I might have to break out the Playoffs on court.....bang bang.
11 & 12 the best shoe ever !!
DJAGOMUSIC agree !!! The 12 very minimalist & pure design
2s

plz tell me how long it lasted

Older retros have MUCH better cushioning!
Igor Uptempo Ummmm, the new 12s have full length zoom...
@@ShortSight32 he means they feel better
I like the clips of you playing at the beginning of the video. It makes the whole review better in my opinion.
Another great review. Surprising how some shoes may not look it, but that have it where it counts. I was never a big fan of the 12 until I purchased a pair. Now I think they are a great shoe and one of favorite Jordans!
Really great of you to review Retro J's, most people don't even have the guts to wear them lol
Good to see the jordan project coming along.. A lebron project dont sound bad.. Keep em coming brody
Your comments about the comfort and heel-toe transitions with a full-length zoom unit remind me of what I thought when comparing the Kobe 7 to the Kobe 7 Elite. The Elite is full-length zoom while the regular version is just targeted. It makes all the difference in the world.
nice to see someone who buys shoes for what they were made for. keep up the great videos
What do you do with all the sneakers you have? Do you store them, give them away or wear them casualy or for bball?
as of now... itd be pretty close to perfect. Slap on an independent toe cap and you'd be closer lol.
I still have the 2003 French blue retros in mint condition
i still hoop in mine but my sole keeps ripping off :(
honestly, when i played with my flu games recently, i had a lot of issues with the laces coming untied. same with the 13's, happens a lot to the recent 12's/13's
Yeah, all the ones I buy from and state in each video.
I told you on IG man These are my favorite Sneaker(not just jordan) to play ball in I love them great review!
Very nice review very informative
If you want dress nice get Jordans. Trying to play basketball get Kd's or rose's. If you wwant something in between then Lebron X, kobe's, foams, penny 5
Playing in them 4 times will do that. You need to break shoes like this in. If you dont put in the time then you wont have a good experience.
Nice review! I love these to ball in also, have a few pairs. My metallic lace lock did come off on my black/university blue nubuck pair though...nothing a lil glue couldn't fix! Love my 12's!!!
yeah the outsole is very dense. the zoom air is awesome. that's why aj12 is 1 of the or is the heaviest aj ever.
Be patient.
Retro in 2009 original release was 96/97
Its the rounded edges. Gotta plant your feet properly or you could slip and roll over.
Glad the project is coming back!
make sure to try what is best for you in the inside. I can only give you advice that on Rose 3 which looks hot but if you have wide feet you find it narrow. I changed it jordan retro 9. Good luck whatever you decide.
Anyone else peep the official wearing the space jams??
the kdv's and rose 3's are pretty popular in my area. i personally prefer using retros. buy what you like.
I wanted these but I ended up getting the blue and white ones back in 97 since I already had the taxis. I remember these and the blue and white came out in the same day
Nate Robinson from the bulls always has the 12s when he's playing on court #2 da bulls great review over the 12 one of my favs

Had them in 1997. Just got another pair off stockx, That price jump though, lol
I sole separated mine 🤣

Dope intro. Love the reviews. Keep it going man!

Thanks been waiten so long for these
thx for breaking back the old review style
Music alone is worthy of 10 thumbs up!!!!
are these shoes still playable with as of today? i mean, considering the age?..
Very playable as long as you dont mind the weight and a lack of ventilation. The Zoom Air in these is just insane.
These are good to play in but I never owned a pair of 12s ever.
Love this colorway. I wore the white and black ogs for like 2yrs lol. Might get em again if I get a good deal
I got a bad ankle injury wearing the 12s though, so make sure you lace up those 12s
ahaha loving the intro music brotha takes me back to them childhood days
These are comfortable as anything my dads are from 1997-8 and he still rocks rhem
Also I want to try to play in the air force one mid based on support traction and lockdown
Great intro! If u can do that with all ur shoe performance reviews it would be awesome!
I have the master color way of this shoe and when i first got them i didn't know how to lace them and i pulled off the gold lace tips and now have to be really careful lacing them up because they are now really loose.
The most comfortable shock absorbing sneaker I've ever balled in!! And the shoe doesn't break down either!! Awesome shoe hands down!
thank you.
Up great review I have og and retro they played super sick , I had the obsidians I great review man peace!!!
I have about $200 on me. What shoe (in your opinion) should I buy? I was think about the KDV's, adiRose 3's, Air Jordan 8's, etc...
the air Jordan 12 is my favorite shoe to hoop in
2003 air jordan 12 retros were the best 12s to ball in. They were lighter and had better cushioning even better the the og Imo.
I'm thinking about playing in the air jordan retro 5 the Jordan jumpman swift and the jordan jumpman team 1
Great review! Answered all the questions I had about this shoe, especially for never having owned a pair of 12's. Looking forward to the French Blue on 3/26. Keep up the great work bro!
As others have said awesome intro, gr8 honest review as per usual
Can't wait till ya get to the 13s, are u going to use the 2013s?
the BReds? that horrible colour or the He Got Games that are gonna drop, or others?
got any tips to get your sneaker channel out there??? ive been posting alot of vids but nothings really happening
Are u going to do a review on the future taxi 12 coming out this year?
Can you make a video comparing different cushioning?
Bred 12 og were my first j's. Cousin gave em to me since he couldnt wear em any more
+TheGameDoplhin they are retroing on may 28
The nubuck 12s are my all time favorite jordan 12
haha the begging is my old middle school! sick lol
Nightwing2303, what do you think are the best retro's to ball in?
It's been a while since I played in xii's I played in them my freshman year and I'm planning to get into a rec league and I'm trying to decide what to play in xii-xiii's or bron x's but again great review I still love the aj project #salute
One of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned
favorite air jordan EVER
When did these shoes come out?
as always, awesome review
You think i'd would perform the same ways as the low version?
it's amazing that your teammate (with no number on the back) always wear that ripped shirt...
nice new entrance music there nightwing
maybe if you hold youre phone/camera straight and use proper lightening u could get some more views
so you'd pick these over the 11's?
i hav had mine for 1-2 years and my sole has worn down alot and i still cant see my zoom air
does the full length zoom negate any of the mid foot support?
When you are done with the jordan project please start the lebron project.
@nightwing2303 nice review man! You got any suggestions where I can find a real pair of these for 200$ and under in a size 11! Thanks man!
great review, looking forward to the 13's. I heard some negative things about them.
My Favorite Sneaker, great review!!!
I got these best AAU game shoe ever
Hey nightwing2303 at this point in time, what two shoes would you consider to be "go to" shoes in this Air Jordan Project? :D
Anyone know where you can buy the silver things that you put the laces through?
i play in my playoff 12s and there the most comfortable basketball i balled in to date
Which should I get the air jordan 12 the master or the air jordan 4 white cements? Both are coming out next month
I'm not nightwing but I would personally say get the 12's
+Stuff Why not both? Depends on your taste though, I will pick the 12's.
Depends on how much you care about them showing wear. 12s have full length zoom air, so theres that as well
+Stuff masters fam, cocaine colorway gets messy EASILY. not worth your money if you compare to a all black shoe
Both garbo
IIRC this was the first Air Jordan to feature an all leather upper.
What about the 1 (full leather build), 2 (full Italian leather build), 3 (full leather build), 10 (full leather build)?
@@WearTesters Oh yeah.... Forgot about those models. And the 2's are very underrated IMO.
should I get the French blue 12s or the Cherry 12s 😞😞😞
Both ,
My favorite Jordan shiloette the Jordan 12 I hooped outdoors in them the performance is good
@nightwing2303 would you recommend balling in the 2012 playoff 12s?
Anyone know whats the name of the things on the side of the show that hold the laces
