You two really make me smile. I'm a clinical psychologist so I see a lot of relationships that are strained. It's just really nice to see how the two of you interact. Also... I whole heartedly agree with your thoughts on sneaker culture and resale. I hate how dudes are just buying shoes to flip them!
I remember grabbing the Flint gray for my Pops. Just walking in to the store a few days after release and picking them out. No hypebeasts, being able to cop you what you want.
In true Jordan fashion, there’s multiple Jordan’s releasing this December. Will you be grabbing the AJ12 in white & grey, or are you keeping your 👀 on the prize? Air Jordan 11 Black & red or bust! Thanks for watching!!!
I passed on j12 reverse taxi 'cause its not worth the retail,j12 blue it feels it might hit outlet,so i got the j6 flint gray with a 50% off and planning to get j7 ra at 40% off...if j12 bred will be a GR i might pull the trigger...thanks for you reviews it helps me in what to cop
Love these. Just wanted to tell you guys that I love your videos. I'm a sneaker head from way back before being a sneaker head was even a thing! Wish I would have kept some of the shoes I had back then! Anyway I just got out of the hospital after surviving an aortic dissection. It may be wierd watching sneaker reviews more than once but your videos really helped me keep calm through some of it. Keep up the good work! Now that I am home I will be able to get in discord!
Sweat/moisture/humidity plus dirt and air causes the yellowing (oxidizing) same thing happens with translucent outsoles. If you are going to keep them in box after use, wipe the dirt off the outsoles with damp cloth or cleaner, then dry them with a different cloth. better remove the paper in box because paper is acidic thus increases the oxidation. add a couple of silica gel pods near each outsole to keep the moisture out. Note that yellowing of outsoles is natural to translucents especially when you are using it. This will just dramatically slow down the process of oxidation.
12s are my favorite Jordan sneaker, easily. Flu games gotta be my favorite colorway. It's got history, performance, versatility, everything. And being 12 when they came out I couldn't cop, but now I can!
I love them and plan on getting a pair. Also had flint greys i copped in 06 for $86 on eBay vnds so yeah I’m copping because it’s the closest to them for now. Love how they enhanced the red hits more on this pair but hate the stitching. It’s just a relief though to get another clean pair of 12s.
The aesthetics of the Jordan 12's are absolutely timeless. They are sleek, clean, and completely fire in every way! Definitely among my favorite Air Jordan's of all time!
Just when I thought about pulling the trigger on the reverse taxis. Smh. My next purchase may be this or a customized Kyrie 6. Those custom Kyrie's are 🔥
I remember copping Flint Grey 12's at The Athlete's Foot in December 2003. I even went to the mall that afternoon since I was working at Macy's for the holidays and still copped my size. Great times back then! Oh my pair is still wearable.
I just finally was able to cop these so checked this out. I love your reviews because I'm into sneakers because I grew up in the 90's and I love how you bring me back to those days. And I'm glad there's reviews like this, thank you.
I really love these sneakers.. they definitely remind me of the Flint Grey 12’s, which were one of my favorites.. hopefully I can get a pair when they release! 🔥🔥
Well here in the Philippines, we consider the Jordan 12s as an all around shoe because beside from it being durable, it looks like a dress shoe/ a classy shoe so it’s flexible with any outfit we want. Especially black colored 12s in general
Taxi 12 lows are my daily and they just super comfy, super simple and timeless design. The highs were also some of the best shoes ive played in. Great shoe all round and the definitely dont make shoes like they used to
I love the 12s because it's durable, simple and classic styling, very comfortable for hooping and even better for just walking around. The one thing I love the kost about them is the materials. That "leather", to me, is so much better than the thin stuff that they use on shoes now. Like the price has gone up on the shoes but I feel that the quality isn't like it used to be. You used to be able to play ball outdoors in your shoes and have them last a few months. Now, you would be lucky to get a few weeks in your shoes. Just my opinion but I may even love the 12s a little bit more than I love the 11s.
12s are my favorite Jordan from the much coveted 1-14 line...I think I need these...don’t have the flints...don’t know why they stitched the upper “sun ray” portion of the shoe differently 🤔 but overall look is still there...not a deal breaker.
I’m with you, the gray lining is an upgrade, but that damn silver tab 🤦♂️. I do remember the flints and wanted them. I got the concords last year, so I was considering getting these over the bred 11s. Does that make me crazy?
wow those on-feet shots changed my mind; these are a must-cop! They look really dope. 12s are my fav sneaker anyway but the colorways releasing in the EU are lacking imho (we did NOT get the Black & Royals smh). Hope these release in the EU to
Nice work as usual 👍🏿 I'm sticking to my Taxis & Playoffs. I'd sent them for reglueing & restoring, removed the lateral & medial tabs that cracked & all that stuff. I don't know why I just like the 12s the most 😭🥴
Gosh I think the biggest reason for the different materials is that shoes these days esp Jordan are geared more towards casual wear as oppose to playing basketball. I wish some of these Jordan retros would go back to the same specs as the originals 🙁
As always, love watching you guys discuss and share your thoughts on the sneakers and everything else that comes up in the conversation during the review 👏🏻😂🤣 Like the colorway, definitely a sleeper and I’m a fan of this 12 overall. Not feeling that silver tab, wasn’t necessary and gives it a cheap look. Definitely looking forward to these going on sale hopefully along with that reverse taxi I couldn’t agree more about the current “culture” of sneakers, it’s just a giant resell market where people are more concerned with how much they can flip it versus actually appreciating the colorways and history of the shoe. I’ll just keep buying what I think looks dope and I’m glad the masses will sleep on dope colorways like this and Cool Grey 4’s so I can cop for retail whenever I want 🙌🏻😎 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 from my family to yours 👍🏻
I’m not really about j12s but was considering these (cuz I’m a sucker for grey shoes) UNTIL you pointed out the wavy stitching on the line - “it’s a no for me, dawg”
I had my 12 a few months back and I went true to size and I have a wide foot.I'm still breaking them in because they get narrower when they got to the front.
For me, the 12s are amazing cause I couldn't get the 11s. So I think that's why they sell, people didnt own a pair of 11s at the time and the 12s are up.
Mrs. wing is the only women I’ve ever heard say “I’m never right”
York Peppermintpatty
And Chris was smart enough to SNATCH her up😂
He is a very wise man!!!!!
The 12 just has the sexiest silhouette out of any sneaker. It looks like high fashion basketball sneaker.
Was I the only who thought they kinda look the French blues In the thumbnail
I had to look twice
Yeah, I was wondering if he screwed up his title of the video.
Same here
Duilio Silva i got excited for a minute and was like “wait what didn’t even hear about those releasing”
Somregularguy hopefully we’ll see them retro the French blues again

how did you become a clinical psychologist? did you do a psyd or phd in clinical psych and how long did it take?
When he said sneaker culture isn't a culture anymore.....I felt that
True
I remember grabbing the Flint gray for my Pops. Just walking in to the store a few days after release and picking them out. No hypebeasts, being able to cop you what you want.
THIS HAS TO BE MY DREAM SHOE! GREY IS MY FAV COLOR AND THE ORIGINAL COLORBLOCKING! YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!
Çağatay Sucu good for you
In true Jordan fashion, there’s multiple Jordan’s releasing this December. Will you be grabbing the AJ12 in white & grey, or are you keeping your 👀 on the prize? Air Jordan 11 Black & red or bust! Thanks for watching!!!
WearTesters keep up the good work
Both expect I think SNKRS gonna be on some bullshit and do another raffle
I passed on j12 reverse taxi 'cause its not worth the retail,j12 blue it feels it might hit outlet,so i got the j6 flint gray with a 50% off and planning to get j7 ra at 40% off...if j12 bred will be a GR i might pull the trigger...thanks for you reviews it helps me in what to cop
Gotta get both only cause 12s my favorite
Cant figure out if i should get the 4's what the or the bred 11 - argh! decisions!
One of the best Jordans of the year
Love these. Just wanted to tell you guys that I love your videos. I'm a sneaker head from way back before being a sneaker head was even a thing!

We’re glad you had a successful procedure!
John Corley stay strong and trust the Lord.
These are fire the flint Jordan 12 was one of my favorite shoes growing up
This colour tone is much much better than the Royal one👍

It's the silhouette of the 12s, probably the sickest looking Jordans next to the concords! Love the vids bro!
Not a fan of the stitching either, but I actually do like that hint of silver where is says Jumpman... but you each their own... 🤷♂️👍
12 is probably the most comfy Jordan to wear and play in.. Had no break-in issues that full air unit is amazing!!
I love them and plan on getting a pair. Also had flint greys i copped in 06 for $86 on eBay vnds so yeah I’m copping because it’s the closest to them for now. Love how they enhanced the red hits more on this pair but hate the stitching. It’s just a relief though to get another clean pair of 12s.

Talk about taking shots to resellers. I love it!
Am I allowed to like these more than the Flints?
People will tell you know. But rock what you like. People think I'm crazy that I'd go after these before the Bred 11s
Yeah man like and rock what you like! 👌
nope i think the same lol
Rock what you like
Just when I thought about pulling the trigger on the reverse taxis. Smh. My next purchase may be this or a customized Kyrie 6. Those custom Kyrie's are 🔥
I felt his disappointment when Mrs. Wing asked 'you do?' after he said "I always have negative thoughts." 😂😂
Just copped mine earlier after many months. Really nice and clean shoe. Got it at $100. The wait was definitely worth it.
I remember copping Flint Grey 12's at The Athlete's Foot in December 2003. I even went to the mall that afternoon since I was working at Macy's for the holidays and still copped my size. Great times back then! Oh my pair is still wearable.
I think those look better than the flints personally. I been excited for these since pics first dropped
Can’t find another channel that is as wholesome as well as informative as this one! Also these 12s look solid
Those joints are 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥. I think there are going to sell out in South Carolina.
Truly love the conversation between you and Mrs wing, it's the most awesome part of the video
Flint Gray's are some of my all time fave 12s, actually had three pair. I like these more, 🤷🏿♂️ sue me
2:13 that damn cat clip is my favorite..... Love yalls content Chris!!! Keep up the good work my dude.
It was 04. They dropped the playoff colorway and white and French blues. Oh man good times.
Yes bro sneaker culture is dead resalers destroyed everything
*resellers
CaRnAgE_4_Justin he’s not a grammar nazi the guy spelt it wrong
@@Darknessevolves grammar is how u word things not how u spell them
I just finally was able to cop these so checked this out. I love your reviews because I'm into sneakers because I grew up in the 90's and I love how you bring me back to those days. And I'm glad there's reviews like this, thank you.

12 is my favorite Jordan
I actually think those are pretty cool. I might have to cop a pair for ball. 🔥
I am usually about OG colorways, but I like this version better than the original Flint's.
Great video. Thank you for mentioning the stitching . I've watched other videos on you tube no one mentioned the stitching. Keep up the great videos.
Well here in the Philippines, we consider the Jordan 12s as an all around shoe because beside from it being durable, it looks like a dress shoe/ a classy shoe so it’s flexible with any outfit we want. Especially black colored 12s in general
it must be my eyes i thought it was the French blues in the thumbnail. 😂😂😂😂
You're not alone lol
Yea me too
they are dope, very underrated shoe of 2019
Taxi 12 lows are my daily and they just super comfy, super simple and timeless design. The highs were also some of the best shoes ive played in. Great shoe all round and the definitely dont make shoes like they used to
The best sneaker channel in the sneaker game. Two thumps up 👍🏼👍🏼
Odd that they did that with the stitching but I still love the XII's in general.
That jacket is really dope. Great content as always 👌🏼
Them joints better than the breads def wouldn’t hoop in those gotta swag them

Tbh I never thought I would like / buy a pair of 12s but I love em and there worth it
Just for the record, The original Flint XIIs released 12/13/2003.
His birthday is in June, so he likely first saw them in 2004.
Easy cop, 12s are just perfect.
12s are my favorite. Over the 11s. Yeah I said it!
You know he’s an old sneaker head when he said oshman’s. 😂
The most real head on YT! Will always love the videos dawg!
Awesome! Great shout out to the re-sellers! I love these 12's but I agree with you about the chrome tab (gag) but I'm grabbing these hands down!
Oh and these are still my favorite Jordan's to ball in. Hands down there is no other shoe that compares IMHO
Funny thing the Jordan flow low was my first Jordan ever back in 2004 I had the royal blue pair. Loved that shoe
Hella comfortable to wear casually..the full length zoom air is 💯
12s are my favorite Jordan from the much coveted 1-14 line...I think I need these...don’t have the flints...don’t know why they stitched the upper “sun ray” portion of the shoe differently 🤔 but overall look is still there...not a deal breaker.
Nightwing I agree, JB needs to let the juice box toe cap go!!! Make it slanted and make the mud guard on 12s bigger like the 1996 pair.
Omg those are fire but I might have to cope those huge fan by the way to
Maaan! I'm feeling this colorway
I’m with you, the gray lining is an upgrade, but that damn silver tab 🤦♂️. I do remember the flints and wanted them. I got the concords last year, so I was considering getting these over the bred 11s. Does that make me crazy?
These are 🔥 why did these have to come out now and not earlier when there was nothing coming out 😭
Shots fired to the hype beast resellers. Love it. You’re not wrong.
wow those on-feet shots changed my mind; these are a must-cop! They look really dope. 12s are my fav sneaker anyway but the colorways releasing in the EU are lacking imho (we did NOT get the Black & Royals smh). Hope these release in the EU to
I just bought these can't wait to rock em
Mine is coming in hot next week. Got it for $110 for Father's day sale!
Cool. Thank you for taking it out. I did not know that. I just thought the carbon fiber was just in the middle of the outsole
Between these and the reverse taxis, 12s are sleepers made with quality. But I guess if it’s not Jordan 1 or 11 they sit
Great shoe for any season, and comfortable plus looks good
❤❤❤❤❤
It's 12:37 in Midnight here in the Philippines
Huge fan keep up the good work bro
God Bless
White / Flint grey ogs from back in da day
the shiny piece is throwing it off but other than that i’d be a really big fan
WITHOUT A DOPE BEAT TO STEP TO!!
I think the original flint grey was release in 2003...I remembered coz it was my first pair of Jordan...
You are right, true the size 12 👍🏼
Those are nice and good review
I wish they made the game royals/ blue games with this level of quality.
Great videos man ill be here often
Dope review bro , hopefully u can review those red and white air barrage that dropped since no one reviewed them yet
I like these a lot and hope they sit long enough for that sale. Wanting for them 11s boi.
I like this color but they really need to release both the white and red as well as the obsidian and white (without roses and mess) like asap.
Bro i watch your videos love them so much got the kyrie 6 because of you.
That will Go With A Hella Fied Outfit
Nice work as usual 👍🏿 I'm sticking to my Taxis & Playoffs. I'd sent them for reglueing & restoring, removed the lateral & medial tabs that cracked & all that stuff. I don't know why I just like the 12s the most 😭🥴
Where did you send them?
Those guys are clean! I think those and the bred 11s going to sell out in the South Carolina area.
Gosh I think the biggest reason for the different materials is that shoes these days esp Jordan are geared more towards casual wear as oppose to playing basketball. I wish some of these Jordan retros would go back to the same specs as the originals 🙁
How come nobody has figured out that these are the cyber Monday Jordan. These are very good looking and are better than the flint grey joints
Didn't know cyber Monday Jordan was still a thing... black Friday n cyber Monday Jordan been so 👎👎
As always, love watching you guys discuss and share your thoughts on the sneakers and everything else that comes up in the conversation during the review 👏🏻😂🤣
Like the colorway, definitely a sleeper and I’m a fan of this 12 overall. Not feeling that silver tab, wasn’t necessary and gives it a cheap look. Definitely looking forward to these going on sale hopefully along with that reverse taxi

I’m not really about j12s but was considering these (cuz I’m a sucker for grey shoes) UNTIL you pointed out the wavy stitching on the line - “it’s a no for me, dawg”
I like them I just wish the black part was glossier
I love the smell of a new pair of shoes!!!
I had my 12 a few months back and I went true to size and I have a wide foot.I'm still breaking them in because they get narrower when they got to the front.
For me, the 12s are amazing cause I couldn't get the 11s. So I think that's why they sell, people didnt own a pair of 11s at the time and the 12s are up.
12s got History thats why it sells well
my fav jordans
Is there a chance this will be like the Purple/Lakers 13? A great shoe that no one buys and can be bought at a good discount.
The “evade bullets” running in Zig Zag patterns comes from “The In-Laws”.....serpentine, serpentine, RUN
I had the flow white and metallic silver and they had the knicks like colorway
They are beautiful
Yeah, the 12 is my favourite silhouette
