today we're going to be taking a look at the air jordan 12 twist now this is a new colorway
but definitely an og model so i'm excited to see what they did with
the styles cuts and materials let's go ahead and get into it
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you being if you
did not know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show now if you haven't already
make sure you hit that subscribe button don't forget to hit the bell notification for every time
i upload a new video and make sure you hit that like button because that helps algorithm oh so
much okay so you guys know how i always start the videos we got to talk about history first and this
shoe is the air jordan 12 which originally came out 1996 1997 basketball season and
that was the og vibes that we saw back in the days with the playoffs and the taxis cherries
different colorways like that now this one is a twist and it has a different colorway that we
normally would see and i'm actually lowkey excited to see what they're looking like one shoe that i
will be using in today's comparison is going to be another retro plus colorway and that is the
rising sun air jordan 12. this shoe right here man so much nostalgia so much history at least
for me from when i first started collecting in that era in that time which we'll talk about in
a little bit but let's go ahead and crack this box open starting with the box you got your air
jordan 12 retro box og style but this time you got the jumpman on there instead of the nike air
and then wrapping it around to the front it reads air jordan 12 retro
black white university red retail 190 bucks flipping up in the lid of the box you have your
brown paper and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay first impressions of this sneaker
i'm surprised these came with a second pair of laces normally retro 12s don't usually come with
the extra pair of laces so i'm gonna give jordan brown a golf clap to that one now when it comes
to my other impressions of this sneaker it's just an all-over clean shoe it's a white sneaker
and honestly these don't look too big saying that they are a size 13 because you guys know my
struggles being a size 13. white shoes they just look huge and i feel like these don't look too big
when it comes to just the overall shape in the form of the shoe now let's talk about styles
cuts and materials and go ahead and get into the details of the shoe starting with the outsole you
have your classic air jordan 12 style outsole all white around with your black herringbone here on
the front and the back end of the shoe you got a red 23 and a red jumpman on the toe of the foot
and you got your carbon fiber plate here in the center of the foot wrapping up to the midsole you
got your white rubber right here and then you got your white file on here on the back and the front
end of the shoe just like your og 12. going up to the mud guard when i feel the material
honestly it doesn't feel great kind of feels kind of cheap but when i feel the material on the upper
it does feel a lot better looking at the mud guard and the side of the shoe you have your classic air
jordan 12 vibe with the hit right here with the plastic piece this time it's in the metallic rail
with the jumpman branding on the side then you got your all-white mud guard wrapping around the front
and on the inside of the foot going to the back end of the sneaker you got your classic air jordan
12 vibes with the 23 on the bottom the jump man on the top jordan red right here if you turn it
sideways you can read it a little bit better but it says jordan quality inspired by the greatest
player ever and then another dope hit that i really love about this sneaker as well is your two
spelled out with the three at the bottom giving you the 23 and then the jumpman here on the tongue
let me know how you feel about the 2 3 branding on the tongue of the jordan 12. i love it now when it
comes to the all-white leather on the upper and the material and everything it feels solid it's
not the best it's not the worst it's it's high you know i'm saying it's cool i ain't going to
go home and tell mama about these but at the same time i ain't gonna just be embarrassed to wear the
shoe thinking the quality is just terrible another thing to look at is you have your black mesh right
here on the inside of the sock liner and the back end of the tongue you got an all-black insole with
a red jumpman and the final touch the red metallic eyelets here with jumpman logo branding on the top
end of the jordan 12. so like i said earlier i wanted to compare this shoe to the rising sun
air jordan 12 because i mean if you look at them they look kind of similar right now obviously you
can tell this shoe has a lot of aging when it comes to the white patent leather type material
here on the upper it's starting to yellow the shoe is a little over 10 years old right now obviously
you have the perforated dots different things like that this is in a full comparison video but
overall as you can see the shoe definitely does look similar and i was very happy about this
sneaker and because this shoe is so old and it's starting to yellow and everything like that it
kind of gravitates me towards this sneaker when i see this type of version now some people could say
this may look like the history of flight or the rising sun or maybe even a jordan 12 pe i don't
know if there is a pe that is this exact colorway let me know down below in the comment section but
either way it's got a special little vibe to it saying that this shoe is so simple yet this isn't
exactly what we normally get when it comes to the color blocking style on air jordan 12. typically
you got your major two-tone color blocking all white upper with the black or the cherry red or
whatever it may be or vice versa black with the red or red with the white you name it there's
a bunch of different color blocking patterns but typically you see the same style of color blocking
you got your one main solid color on the upper and then your accent color on the mud guard so to see
them blend this all together in one sneaker and just giving you the clean all white vibe
i am not mad at the shoe but at the same time this is not a top 10 pickup so that brings my
next question for you guys how do you feel about this shoe is this shoe fire or is this shoe trash
if i had to vote between the two i would still go with the fire category now i want to see what you
guys think i posted a poll on my instagram if you haven't already follow me on ig so you can see the
results here on the channel i post them every single time when i do reviews this is what the
people said 62 of the people chose fire and 38 of the people chose trash at the end of the day like
i keep saying it's not a bad shoe and i understand why the results are what they are so again drop
a comment down below and let me know what you think now when it comes to pricing everybody
asked me that question as well what do i think about pricing where are they going to go how is
it going to be in the future what are they worth now should i wait to buy them later are they going
to hit outlets all those other questions retail is 190 bucks they're going for like 210 215 220
depending on the size all those different things who you're selling it to stockx fees no fees
if you can actually sell a pair of shoes or not without using stockx there's a lot of different
factors to it either way the shoe is going for a little bit over 200 bucks and i think if you give
it some time typically like any other jordan this shoe is going to be worth more than 250 dollars
down the line simply because that's just how it goes when it comes to retros now it might take
two three four years who knows but either way these are gonna be worth something down the line
but at the same time i don't think this is gonna be the shoe where you make the big flip and you
get all this money and do all those things this is really a shoe that i think if you really like
the shoe buy the shoe if you don't like the shoe let somebody else that likes to shoot
get the shoe and honestly i feel like it should be like that for every single release but we know it
just don't work like that so let me know what you think about the price predictions down below in
the comment section i'm excited to hear what you guys have to say about this shoe were you able to
cop the shoe were you not able to get it and you were trying to get it did you not want it at all
are you trying to get it for below retail are you waiting and you think it's gonna go up and
you're holding on to the shoe let me know all those things down below in the comment section i
