While a few Air Jordan 2012 Deluxes release before, the wide Air Jordan 2012 release date is scheduled for February 25th. (Full breakdown on the Air Jordan 2012′s tech here.) While the shoe, with its two interchangeable booties and three interchangeable midsoles, has a total of six configurations, the standard releases will come with one bootie and one midsole and retail for $180. (The Deluxe edition comes with all five pieces and retails for $223.) So hit the jump to check out the first five releases, and how each midsole/bootie combination is configured, and look for all of these on February 25th. Remember: “Fly Around” sports a heel Zoom Air unit for lightweight, responsive cushioning; “Fly Over” goes for Zoom in the forefoot and an encapsulated Air Sole unit in the heel, mixing responsiveness and impact protection; and “Fly Through” opts for a full-length encapsulated Air Sole, focusing on maximum impact protection.

And finally, closing out one of the most chalk-full-of-releases Wednesdays in recent memory (Air Diamond Turf II here, Total Griffey Max 99 here), here’s a look at the Air Jordan 2012 University Blue/White-Dark Steel Grey and Air Jordan 2012 Wolf Grey/Black-Silver Ice-White, release date also scheduled for tomorrow, February 8th. These are both Deluxe editions, meaning the price is a bit higher but they come complete with both interchangeable inner-booties — high-cut and low-cut — and all three removable midsoles: Fly Over, Fly Around and Fly Through. (Check out the Air Jordan 2012 unveiling article for a breakdown on what each midsole provides.) Hit the jump for details and click for more looks at the Wolf Grey and University Blue. In addition to traditional stores tomorrow, look for these online at spots like nikestore.com tonight at midnight EST.

Continuing the Air Jordan 2012 unveiling, check out a video introducing the new shoe, and featuring co-designer (and Nike legend) Tinker Hatfield breaking down the tech in the shoe, namely the interchangeable midsoles and inner-booties. Hit the jump for the full look. The Air Jordan 2012 Deluxe release date is set for tomorrow, with a wider release scheduled for February 25th.

Michael Jordan was legendary for stepping up his game in crucial times, including just about every time he visited Madison Square Garden. So it’s only fitting, and perhaps a bit painful to Knicks fans with memories of MJ’s dominance, that there is now an Air Jordan 4 Knicks. Release date in 2012? That’s the early rumor. No doubt this one would be an instant classic, sporting a subtle black nubuck upper, set off with the vibrant blue-and-orange accents characteristic of Knicks gear.

Today marked the official unveiling of the Air Jordan 2012. (Release date for which is set for February 25th, with a couple Deluxe versions, Wolf Grey and University Blue, hitting retailers tomorrow.) A shoe which takes performance customization to an unprecedented new level, the Air Jordan 2012 was four years in the making, and borrows design inspiration from everything from Michael Jordan’s legacy to the zoot suit.

According to Tinker Hatfield, this shoe is Jordan Brand’s response to the increasing demand for customizable hoops models, hence the two interchangeable booties — a highcut for more ankle support and a lowcut for quicker players who need more ankle movement — and three interchangeable midsoles: ‘Fly Around,’ which features a Zoom Air unit in the heel for light, responsive cushioning; ‘Fly Over,’ which has Zoom in the forefoot and an encapsulated Air Sole unit in the heel, blending responsiveness with impact protection; and ‘Fly Through,’ which goes for a full-length encapsulated Air Sole unit for maximum impact protection.

All said, the combination of midsoles and booties give the wearer six possible configurations, and the Air Jordan 2012 Deluxe, release date set for February 8th, includes all of those elements.

However, the technology that goes into the shoe itself is perhaps just as impressive. Flywire technology offers plenty of stability and support without adding weight, and the ‘Flight Carbon’ plate in the midsole is a first; made with glass and carbon fiber and contoured to the natural shape of the foot.

And of course looks weren’t ignored, as the Air Jordan 2012 again sports a premium construction. The Flywire-based upper sits beneath full-grain leather overlays, giving the appearance of finely-crafted footwear.

In addition to the Air Jordan 2012 Deluxe hitting stores tomorrow, complete with all midsoles and booties, and the standard Air Jordan 2012 release date of February 25th, the Air Jordan 2012 will hit NIKEiD.com on February 14th, selling for $205. Myriad colors will be available, and of course the customer can pick their ride, in terms of midsoles and booties.

Well, you probably already know the Air Jordan 4 White/Cement release date, as it’s been floating around for a while. If not, it’s February 18th, with the shoe set to retail for $160. But today we can offer you the White/Cement official images, hot off the virtual presses from Jordan Brand. Hit the jump for all the shots, as well as release details (style #, etc).

Earlier this week we shared some great news, namely that the Air Jordan 1 Dave White release date is scheduled for later this month, and that the shoe would see standard retail, as opposed to auctions (like White’s last Air Jordan 1 collaboration). Well, the good news keeps getting better, as we can now confirm that the Air Jordan 1 Dave White will release on NikeStore.com as well. While this may be most exciting for people living in rural areas, I’m fairly certain anyone can use the website. Hit the jump for details (product ID, price, etc), and click here for plenty of photos of the Air Jordan 1 DW.

The Air Jordan 2012 release date is nearly here, with a couple of deluxe editions hitting stores next week. And just like the Air Jordan 2012 University Blue, the Air Jordan 2012 Wolf Grey release date is also scheduled for February 11th. The shoe sports a grey-based upper with grey overlays, set off with neon green on the laces and inner-booties (which show through, being that they act as the tongue). A perfect look for the latest AJ flagship shoe, hit the jump for plenty of looks.

The Air Jordan Olympic release date appears to be officially locked down, with the shoe set to hit retailers on July 7th, three weeks before the 2012 Summer Olympics begin. An absolutely classic colorway, both in terms of fashionable good looks as well as popularity, this one was last seen during the 2000 Summer Games, worn by Ray Allen et al during their gold medal run (it also hit limited retailers that summer). This year’s version is expected to be a fairly accurate rendition of the original, with only moderate changes, again sporting the navy inlays against white overlays on the all-leather upper, and finishing off with red accents.

The Air Jordan 2012 University Blue release date is, somewhat unexpectedly nearly upon us, with the shoe set to hit stores on February 8th. One of two ‘Deluxe’ pairs with that early drop date, the shoe sports a university blue upper contrasted by grey accenting, to go along with the two different (high and low) removable booties and three different (‘Fly Through,’ ‘Fly Around,’ ‘Fly Over’) removable midsoles. Hit the jump for all sorts of images, and stick with NB for more details and photos as we get them. And expect a bigger Air Jordan 2012 official unveiling very soon.

Another look at the upcoming Air Jordan 10 Old Royal, release date set for Saturday, February 11th.

There are a lot of people who are doing sneakers big, but few go bigger than Steelers quarterback Dennis Dixon, who has a contract with Nike that gets him plenty of complimentary kicks, the salary to purchase the occasional shoe that isn’t free, and an Oregon-farmed Nike connection for access to the really exclusive stuff. Case in point, who else could lock down their own version of one of the most popular athletic shoes of all time? Hit the jump for a full look at the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Dennis Dixon PE, release date expected for absolutely never. The custom tongue tags represent where he came from — DDix wore the number 10 in his college days at Oregon — and where he is now (his Steelers number is 2). Check out Dennis on Twitter, @Swoosh510.

Dave White’s first collaboration with Jordan Brand was an unquestioned success, inspiring plenty of admiration from sneaker heads worldwide while raising funds for JB’s WINGS for the Future initiative. And now the popular artist is back for another collab, again using the Air Jordan 1 High as his canvas.

The latest Air Jordan 1 High Dave White opts for the classic Jordan colorway, black/sport red-white-cement grey, even incorporating a couple elephant print panels. The real distinguishing feature of the shoe is the premium appearance though, owing to White’s painstakingly detailed process, with his signature paint splattering and a “dipped” toe. Best of all, unlike the last White collab, more than 23 pairs of these will be made, and they’ll actually hit retail.

Look for the Air Jordan 1 Dave White release date on February 11th, selling for $175, with another run hitting on February 24th to coincide with NBA All-Star week. Additionally, a special edition t-shirt made to match up with the release will hit stores.
