Now, I already got the University Blue/Nubuck Retro XII’s from a couple months ago. However, I really like the OG Retros and the Rising Sun Retros. Probably going to cop one or the other. Looking for the reader’s input. Peep game, pick one. I’m going to have to lean ever so slightly toward the OGs.

Below is the Air Jordan XII Rising Sun (sported by many college players this year, including Dexter Strickland)




both shoes kind of disappoint me. the OG because the red textured leather just looks slightly cheap to me. the rising sun disappoints because it is simply too plain with the all white, they should have added some red in there somewhere. If I had to choose one I’d probably go with the XII “OG” but only because it is a classic.
I like the OG better than the rising sun. The OG reminds me of the halls of MMS, you KNOW you would have loved to rock those for the Mustangs.
Plus, there was this dude in the grade below us who had the XII in just about every color they made back in 97-98.
