The Air Jordan 2011 is many things to many different people. Some see it as an elegant return to form for basketball’s premier performance sneaker series, others were dazzled by the debut of NIKEiD customization options and still others remarked on the versatility of the design from its Quick/Explosive interchangeable insoles to the A Flight and Q Flight variants. The AJ2011 covered many bases, and it seems like we can expect something similar from the Air Jordan 2012 next year, given these latest sketches. This Tinker Hatfield design is clearly a luxury-leaning class leader with more molded leather leaving us curious if we’ll see another novel texture like the 2011s, and it also begs the question if the images we saw last week were next year’s ‘A Flights’.
