Do you remember what time of the year the 12's released back in 1996 ? 
February 1st, 1997. I remember because that same day there was an Eddie Jones signing at Niketown Beverly Hills.

If I'm not mistaken, the Taxis were the ones that released in the Fall/Holiday of '96, the rest of them released later that Spring in '97. 
 
Damn, work got bumped to 8 am on saturday... any online spots do midnight drops? I rarely buy online but looks like I might have to on this one.. any help is much appreciated.

THIS IS CORRECT. 10/29/96 FOR THE TAXIS, 1/29/97 FOR THE WHT/REDS AND OBSIDIANS, 3/26/97 FOR THE BLK/REDS, AND 5/21/97 FOR THE PLAYOFFS. HOLLA...

MAN, WHO U TELLIN'??? THAT WAS WAS TRULY A GOLDEN ERA FOR KICKS. IT WAS STILL SO INNOCENT AND PURE, BEFORE ALL THE HYPE. BASICALLY, THE PRE-INTERNET ERA OF KICK COLLECTIN' WAS THE BEST,HANDS DOWN. HOLLA...

I Don't Know About Where You Guys Were Coppin Kicks, But The Year Before These XII Releases Out In Chicago, Things Got REALLY REAL When The XI Was Unveiled..... The Goons Were Definitely Out

The Consumer Base Didn't React The Same Over These XII's Tho, So They Were Definitely Easy Going Releases For The Most Part... Playoffs And Flu Games Had Somewhat Of A Following

Unfortunately, the XII will always be the middle step child of Jordans.

I was about 12 yrs old when the XI's came out and here in LA, there wasn't a major market for Jordans compared to Chicago. 

After the XI's, people expected something even more amazing so needless to say, there was major disappointment when the XII's released.  
 
sure hope NTLA is sticking with the rsvp or else I'm out. Haven't heard anything from them regarding this release yet.
 
SMH was at a mom & pop earlier and some dude paid $325 for them. Still undecided about which sneaker to buy between these, the Olympic 6s, and uptempos. I definitely don't need 3 white and navy kicks.

Can't miss out on these.  I will be a bit biased and go with all Jordans on this one.    Forget the Uptempos

I work in Peabody, and I'm supposed to be in East Boston Saturday, but I think I'm going to stay outside the city for this release. Pick up and a suburban mall then head into Eastie.

seems like nike want chaos  to happen
I think they're not putting these on NDC because they gave out too many 15% and 20% coupon codes recently and don't want everyone use them on these.
Haha. I was planning on using my 15% off coupon on these when they cancelled my KD IV N7's.

 Oh well, luckily they don't expire until the end of the year.

Jimmyjazz.com seems to not be following Nike's directive and launching these around 12 EST. They have a very limited run as all retro releases have sold out in minutes. Good luck to you guys. Hope you get your pairs.

this would be correct..... the only issue will  be that ALL the traffic will be on two sites..... I estimate traffic is probably normally.... NDC- 50%, Finishline-25%, Eastbay- 25%..... prepare for server crashes
