I disagree with them not being popular originally. I was a freshman in high school when they dropped. Back then the releases were on Fri and I remember a whole lot of my classmates coming to school late with they Footlocker bags. The good ol days
Facts idk new people think they make the shoe hot, with all the videos…like bra we was skipping school, fighting , some getting robbed ova Js…we really went thru it!!!
I got my 12 taxi they still DS from 2015 they not coming out till next year and they will be the red taxi glad I got mines I still have my raptors 7 dead stock no telling when they drop them again still have my bugs bunny 8 VNDS I have my obsidian 12 VNDS I’m n good shape on OG’S
after these the taxis are my final boss i think lol .I always say that and my wife rolls her eyes because everytime a OG pair MJ wore on the court that I don’t have I’m like oh i forgot about those.Happened with the playoff 8s now with the cherry 12s
I waited 26 years for these. I FINALLY got them in the mail today! I'm wearing these bad boys ASAP! I just wish they came with the metal tipped laces like the originals.
I have a pair of these 12 cherry 2023. I had the original back in 1997 when I was in 5th grade. My first pair of Jordan given to me by my late father. I love these shoes. Glad Nike bought it back. Keep up the great work Jay. I love your videos.
Been waiting on these since they first confirmed it. If it wasn’t for these bills I would’ve definitely cop. Hopefully I can grab them for a good price next year
I am super excited I hit on the shock drop!!!!!!!!! I remember growing up in the 90’s couldn’t afford these. I always wanted them praise God I am able to afford these joints. Have a blessed week yall!!!
I remember rocking my brother pair when I was in high school…I used to clean the bottom after I wore em so he couldn’t tell I wore em 🤣🤣…glad I got my own pair 20 years later 🫡🫡
I went to every shoe store in town looking for the cherries in 1996. I was 8. They were sold out everywhere so I got the taxis. It was my first Jordan, and the 12s have a special place in my heart because of it. I just got my first pair of cherries on this release and I’m stoked!
Were they called cherries in 1996? lol, "white/red" is the proper OG term. Don't let the cornball hypebeast terminology take over. Just like the "Raptors"
I remember first seeing these when I was in middle school on a kids feet and that’s when I fell in love with 12s. I’ve always wanted these and I’m so happy I got to cop in store
Yeah when they originally came out the two three down the tongue those where very popular. If you could get ‘Em you got them. The white and black ones, the black and white, the red and white , the white and blue where all goated
If your a 10 or under tru to size is mandatory.. 10.5 and up go half size down.. the structure of the sneaker is bulking and the 10.5 fits like a 11 trus me... JAY I LOVE THE CONTENT BROTHER 👌🏾👌🏾
2 hit my 2 on the shock drop. Im with you when you said no stressing come release day 😂. Im going to set them to the side and break them out Spring or Summer 2024....
Definitely my boy we are not rushing to put them on 2024 it is summertime when I get mine that's when I'm breaking them out when everyone else pears are fucked up
Yessirrrr .. satin bred 1 EA / Cherry 12s early shock drop this been a helluva week for me bruh !! B2B Ws … I can chill until Military blue 4s now 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽
I had these my Jr year in HS 1997, put them in my locker for football practice came back and they were gone!! Had em for just 2 weeks , so it’s a must I get these when they drop
Was only an eighth grader when they first released and remember my two homies coming in to class rockin em. Been in love with them ever since, hopefully I can get a pair on release. Time really flies by.
my pair from the shock drop already arrived yesterday (paid that overnight shipping) don't need to worry about them on end of the month....sizig tip if u got narrow feet get half sz down (wide foot tts or half sz up) all my past 12s fit all the same
1997 was a Hell of a year for NIKE. These were definitely popular here in DC. The Playoffs were my favorites, but I always wanted these. Just hit for the shock drop, but I do plan on doubling up. Great video, brother. Now I can't wait for mine to arrive. 😂😂😂
Those were hot here in MD too, especially in PG County. I was a senior in High School when these dropped in 1997. PG Plaza Mall used to sell out like crazy. Couldn't get them at Footaction, Footlocker, or DTLR.
I grew up in DC. I was in my mid 30s by ‘97, living in PG County. I had children to take care of at the time. So, I wasn’t about to buy any Jordans back then. I was good with any pair of Nikes less than $100. Now, I have stacks of Jordans and other Nikes, Adidas, Pumas, etc. taller than me. I tripled-up on these 12s with no plans on wearing them anytime soon.
I still have my og pair from back in the 90s, and people always say ogs better but....the ogs hurt. The heel area was reinforced with something hard like boardlast or something. But they have removed that feature from all retros, so I have always preferred the retros over the og for the 12s. If would make your ankle raw
It ain’t gone. My field purples be digging into my Achilles like nobody’s business dude. My cherrys are fine though. OG PU insole, no dreamcell BS, leather feels nicer, heel doesn’t dig, tongue doesn’t squeak
2023 was my best sneaker year bought like 20 pair only wore like 5 so far 😅 I see progression for whoever is reading this and I still need a few pairs before 2024
u so right about the sock liner bein black, that alone make me wanna cop. my playoff 12's have that widows peak too idk whats good w that. great vid gang!
The best year of releases for me was 2019. Blk/red 4s, blk/infrared 6s, bloodline 1, wht/grey 12, and blk/red 11. All 🔥 plus the bloodlines and wht/grey 12 were slept on. 😴
I’m hype aF!!! I got ‘EM!!! Got a text at 12:05 from a homie. Didn’t even get the SNKRS notification. Quickly clicked the clicks and yessir Cherry 12’s on the way!!!
Got these on the shock drop today. Had these when they came out in 97 had all the colorways in 97 ditched my final to get the playoff black and white ones
When these came out in 97..... specifically cherry 12 these were hard to find, maybe the more popular colour which sold out more often.....cuz i remember when i was a kid i only saw them like once, or twice back in the day
These came in today and they’re flawless. Cherry 12’s better in hand , run big 💯🔥🔥💪🏾 my top 12’s are: Flugame, playoff XII, then French blues, but these are 4th ahead of taxi’s
I missed but will cop 2 pairs. The miss might be a blessing cus I want to know the sizing. Some of my 12s are 10.5 and the others are 11 and fit exactly the same.
The official release date (October 28th) is my birthday. Hopefully I'm able to get a pair that day as I tried today and could not get them. Good luck to everyone trying to get a pair!
Fire flames 🔥 ♨️! I had the original Jordan 12 Cherry and they are just different in such a great way. I’m not even a 12 guy, but these are the best colorWay and a must for anyone who wants red and white kicks. Dope presentation Jay. Glad you got ‘em. 🤙
Must cop for me when they drop. I'ma get my son a pair too. My two sons, one does 4's and the other wears 12's. 13's are my personal favorite (thought I might own more 4's at this point). And of course, the trusted and versatile Air Max 1's. Honorable mention for the AM 97's too,
I remember seeing Jordan wearing them in 96 when I graduated highschool and quickly added them on my list when I got them they were comfortable and definitely 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember back in 97 my homie traded me these cherry for my Nintendo 64 I remember that og shoe was heavy as hell hopefully they ain't that heavy in 2023
I had these back in high school hoop in them and ran them in the ground definitely needed another pair and it is a very clean shoeand won mines off the footlocker app may double up on them some was still sitting in the mall,
Might be an unpopular opinion but I have to personally take the Playoff 8's over these. Just love the colorway and look to them 🔥 but bruh know I need the Cherry 12's. 🍒 mandatory
I passed on these on the “Shock Drop” because I really don’t wear Jordan 12s but after checking out the video I might grab a pair from JD Early Access and use my $20 off coupon on the pickup.😁 Dope Video Playa ✌🏾
Man I forgot these came out oct 28 I seen everybody posting em... hurried up & ordered my fresh pair off goat pissed I couldn't get em retail paid 270 & some change but I had to have em & in actually glad I got mines cause everybody already wore theirs 🤣 but they a fire OG
Straight nostalgia for me must have This was my first Jordan me and my cousin had to put on layaway our freshman year once we got them out the next week flu games dropped we was like dam!😭😭😭😂😂😂jay u the goat my boi keep going
Yeah I W on them 🍒 12s. Had to cop a pair. I don’t double up because I don’t get to wear my shoes much from working 7 days. Out of work due to injury so when these come in they going straight on feet. Glad I won just waiting on them
Got em sneakers app blessed me twice this past few weeks first the play off 8’s and now cherry 12 I hope I get blessed with gratitude 11’s aswell. I still have my 2009 cherry 12 which are in excellent condition only wore em once thinking if I still should double up on the cherry 12 🤔
I can't wait to swoop these. This will complete my Jordan 12 og color ways collection. These been missing since 2009 so the anticipation is crazy on the cherry 🍒 12s. I've been rocking my taxi 12s all week thinking about these lol.
