HOW GOOD ARE THE JORDAN 12 CHERRY SNEAKERS?! (Early In Hand & On Feet Review)

[@stevenwidmer1681]

Buckets Gave a 10?!! Impressed!

At the end of the year yall should put all the sneakers you’ve reviewed for the year in a list in order by there scores. That’d be very interesting!

[@fail_master_z]

YES!

[@mrloki1806]

Would love a 2023 recap after wearing these 12's for a month. If Buckets said 10/10 they must be nice in hand. Personally I like the playoff 12's more or flugames over these Ronald shoes.

[@amazingpatrick4659]

I love this color so much!

[@AndrewK23777]

These are by far the Js i am most excited about in 2023 ; especially as i take a clean close to OG version of an OG Jordan over anything. Plus 12s are basically my favorite OG Jordan model and most OG AJ12 colroways are some of my all time favorite Js overall. Def needed this release as they were way overdue for a retro , need a Taxi 12s retro again sooner rather than later as well. Flu game / Bred , Playoffs and Taxis are my favorite colorways on 12s but Cherrys are right up there as well. Ideally I can double up on these but will be content with at least that personal pair.

[@bball3048mm]

This shoe in this colorway is special to me. I remember I first saw the OG was when the Bulls played the Sonics in Seattle (in 1997) on NBC. Sonics head coach George Karl criticized Jordan for not driving to the rim and shooting more jumpers to preserve his body. Of course in MJ fashion he took it personally. He scored 45 points (including a buzzer beating half court shot). Video below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqbVqnqlgL2HY7Msi=t2i6b6Sxh4ynUwpL

[@mrloki1806]

[@RS3NDIT]

I had the field purple pair as well and these feel way nicer in person. The box is a little different, the packaging is better, the leather feels better, the shoes don't dig into my achilles, the tongue isn't squeaky, and they just look so vibrant and absolutely incredible in person.

[@uncledut]

Hands down, you guys have the absolute best sneaker videos. The entertainment value is… chef’s kiss

[@Assyrianmikey]

Not just that but Foamer is a true sneakerhead. He does wear kicks for clout or hype. He wear kicks cuz he loves them and he wears styles and colorways he likes. Not just what's hyped. I get it you gotta review hyped shoes here and there because it gets you likes and subscriptions but for the most part Foamer rocks some dope classic shoes like the DQM Bacon AM90!!

[@bball3048mmfr]

Jordan 12 in the cherry color way = 🔥🔥i first saw those in 1997 on NBC when the sonics hosted the bulls. George Karl criticized Jordan for being too cautious and driving to the rim and jumpers instead. In true Jordan fashion he took it personally and scored 45 points (including a buzzer beating half court shot)

[@mblow4927]

Similar story but the January game in Houston when the Rockets went on a 17-0 run to end the game. I think that’s also their debut on national television.

[@cookies749]

I remember that game!!! I was watching that game too!!!!

[@frankroyce9946]

In luv with your comment,I understand you..because I was there at this exact game..close enough to see George Karl's upper lip scar mark😂

[@bball3048mmfr]

@@frankroyce9946 Lucky you. I lived in Shoreline, WA during that time. And getting any ticket to Key Arena during the 90s Sonics era was super tough. Especially if you wanted to see the Bulls.

[@punkfloyd]

hell yeah I was watching it on KING5, the glove and kemp against jordan pippen and the bulls!

AHHH MAN I REMBER '96-'97 SEASON WHEN MJ FUNKED THESE WITH DA BLACK PINSTRIPE BULLS JERSEY! LEGENDARY!...

I’m with you these were a must cop for me! I finally hit shock drop these shoes are dope in hand!

[@datbme29]

Wore mine last night lol

[@orincoon5585]

Had the original og pair back in the day. 12's are awesome. Picked up the playoff 12's and the grey ones as well. Great video and review guys!

[@hectorfigueroa2294]

I remember seeing Michael wear these in game against the magic. He wore the black uniform with red pinstripes. Looked sharp AF

[@brandonhuffman213]

Must haves for me. All time fav shoe. 10/10 for me. Its in my PERSONAL top 3 sneakers of the year that i copped. Honestly if this was my last pick up of the year id totally be ok with that, im that pleased.

[@Macclyfe86]

Buckets never gives a 10!!!! Must cop for sure the joints are nostalgic for real if u grew up on the 90s

[@23isbackcl]

One of the best I wish they would have gave the jordan card with it explaining what was his stats and history of shoe like they use too

[@YungPro_custom]

Buckets was on one during this video 🤣🤣 I love it 10/10 I just ordered my pair

[@mcdanieldarrell3746]

Wow!!! A 10 from buckets...just adds to why I must have this shoe

[@cameronbrown4267]

My second favorite Jordan ever I’m glad I have these

[@supremekaii9967]

Appreciate how genuine y’all always keep it! Enjoy your 12’s my steppas!

[@Purplelip87]

These are a must, I love these joints

[@cactusjack2264]

I will say these are an upgrade from the 2009 retroes (which I bought for $140 back then). These look closer to the OG’s and the OG box is just the cherry on top 💯

[@juan355]

yeah first time in awhile a new retro looks better than a previous iteration

[@cactusjack2264]

@@juan355 the shade of red on these just hit different, the ones from 2009 was like a darker shade of red, almost like a lighter maroon. This shade of red is perfect

[@damienwalker]

The OG “Taxis” are perfect 10’s in my book & were the very first pair of Jordans I ever bought at the Fort Sill PX in the fall of ‘96. They hold a special place in my sneakerhead heart🙌🏽💯😂

[@cameronvaughn8434]

13s?

[@damienwalker]

@@cameronvaughn8434….My bad! I meant the taxis. Although, the “He Got Game” are perfect 10’s and my favorite J’s ever💯

[@Cam2xx-23]

Best release of the year 🥳🔥🔥

[@Carhaulerhustle]

I passed on the shock drop and I’ll pass again on release. I’m sorry I don’t like 12S. Playoff 12s are the only ones that get my attention

[@derekdaniels9808]

These are definitely up there an a must have but I just can't put these above the flu games an we need the taxis an the obsidians back

[@chrisdewberry8320]

We need those taxis real bad jb don't let us down

No the taxis are ok but they have dropped multiple of times already but the cherries hit different......that red tho are beautiful

[@Li-Psy]

This particular shoe was the reason I became a sneaker head and got me into Jordan’s, this is my favorite shoe of all shoes in the world because of this color way, never owned the 1997. At the time. Mother couldn’t get them . 2009 I got them on my birthday still till this day. Look brand new and it age extremely well, now I got the 2023 version. I plan on doubling up on them as well

[@NeedJordan1s]

Classic dialogue between you and buckets. I love yall channel. I took an L on the shock drop but I'm going for those Jordan 12s on release day.

[@Vix_does_editz]

I struck out on the raffles then my folks hit me up they got a friend that works at footlocker and they don’t want these so they put a 10.5 to the side for me. I got the employee pair. Well some raffles end tonight so if I win I might double up

[@jhonstarks4693]

Fire love these and the taxi

[@jd2909]

Mine just got delivered today & they are even more tough in my hand 🔥💯

[@sneakerholic8151]

I hit on the shockdrop thankfully and I can honestly and surprisingly say, I am impressed with the quality and materials on this shoe (at least my pair). These just feel different than most GR pairs for some reason, just seem to be a better made sneaker than normal.

[@MRTAYE100]

this how i wanted to feel about the playoffs 8s but i had to resell them cuz my true to size cop happened to be too big, im having a serious issue with sizing these days.

[@cameronvaughn8434]

Playoff 8s are so dope!!

[@mrgriffey6026]

Sorry that happened but they restocked 8’s and resell is barely above retail. I went half size down on 8’s and playoff XII’s fits like a glove. I think Nike making retros bigger or my foot slimmed down because a 12 runs big on all 2023 retros

[@MRTAYE100]

picked up 2015 aquas theyre so much better then these 8s...also picked up cherrys in a 9 this morning, they fit perfect, def runnin a lil big on certain models, we have to try on our shoes before purchasing!!!

[@ProjectSerpo90]

Just got mine this week, first pair of 12s and i completely agree 10/10 these are 🔥

[@NoEntryDefense171]

For $210 I was kinda pissed to feel the plastic chrome Jordan lace loop like bring the metal back if jb gonna be charging all this damn money

[@kwilliams3770]

I didn’t even notice this but at least the leather is decent. I also wanted a retro card the shoe it is too iconic not to have it. Couldn’t afford these in 97 so the kid in me is ecstatic.

[@NoEntryDefense171]

At 44 years old with more than half my life in Jays has come to an end! Will always love Jays especially the Cherry 12s but I’ve out grown Jays and who doesn’t have them around town. Everybody rock’n em. Pass and save the doe. Great review thou and shoe guys!

[@terryclothe6707]

9.5/10 I wish they would make the tongue a bit longer and shape a bit bulkier like the og. 1996/1997 season was the year I really understood who Michael Jordan was as a kid who was born in the early 90s. Would have to put the playoffs and taxis over these, but top 3/4. Flint grey and French blues in 04 were awesome retro +

[@23tetus]

Plus the eyelets on top are plastic instead of metal

I definitely agree 🔥🔥🔥

[@Steve-st3kt]

100%, these were a 10/10 release. The overall quality and construction of the sneaker and the nostalgic box made me giddy when I cut back the tape from shipping. Cuts of leather are clean, no running glue, no drippy paint spots. These sneakers are flawless.

[@stevencooper5970]

I still have my French Blue 12s, and they are still in very good condition. I would like to get the 🍒 12s to put them right beside them.

Best relase of the year. I smiled taking them out of the box because they are almost a 1:1 with my OG's. Beautiful execution. Terrible price though 😅🥴
