In Retrospect: Air Jordan 12 White/Varsity Red

Posted: 18 Dec 2010 11:58 AM PST

Air Jordan 12

Sure, the highly-anticipated Air Jordan 13 White/Black-Varsity Red just re-released to many people’s excitement; however, there was another similarly colored Air Jordan Retro that caught the attention of many last year during the holiday season. Around this time in 2009, Jordan Brand unleashed the well-received Air Jordan 12 White/Varsity Red. Before 2010′s holiday release, this shoe only released in its original form in 1997, for $135. Although the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11 was the center of attention in regards to holiday releases, this Air Jordan 12 White/Varsity Red was easily the second most anticipated holiday release of the year.

Did you purchase the Air Jordan 12 White/Varsity Red, and was it worth $150? If not, are you wishing you would have snagged them last December? How does this colorway rank amongst the other Air Jordan 12s that released last year ("Rising Sun", "Nubuck", “Flu Game”)? Lastly, was this one of your favorite Air Jordan Retro releases of 2009? Let us know your thoughts on the Air Jordan 12 White/Red in the comment section below!
