After this weekend of big releases, 2012 will be halfway over. The first six months have been loaded with heat. From signatures for the likes of Kanye West and Allen Iverson, to themes ranging from ?Galaxy? to ?Rose Gold?, it feels like anything and everything has dropped. No worries if you missed out, the second half of the year looks to be just as strong. Check out our 25 kicks to look forward to for the rest of 2012.<\/p>\n
*NOTE* The list is not assorted by rank.<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> September 2012<\/p>\n It?s clich? to start a list with a retro Jordan, but who?s mad at this OG colorway?

This makeup is sure to be the standout in the newest line of Air Anfernees.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> December 2012<\/p>\n Often times the AJ drop not numbered 11 is considered the consolation prize of the holiday season. We don?t think anybody?s going to complain about these.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> October 12, 2012<\/p>\n Rocked by Rocky but showing echoes of Ewing, the Jeremy Scott x adidas Instinct Hi successfully marries out-there fashion with basketball basics.

Release Date:<\/strong> July 7, 2012<\/p>\n RELATED:<\/strong> Throwback Thursday- Air Jordan 6 “Olympic”<\/p>\n We wanted them back and we?re getting them back. 12 years later and this retro+ colorway is more anticipated than its OG brethren. Some things are worth waiting for.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> July 1, 2012<\/p>\n After a House of Hoops only drop, the real is back and it?s hotter than hot ?Lanta in ?96. More Pippens, more pickups.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n Just when we thought we Foams were had peaked, Nike drew up these. Three colors could be the new status quo for the Pros and bright crimson looks here to stay.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> Late Summer<\/p>\n Want that old New York back? These Ewings are a time machine for your feet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> August 4, 2012<\/p>\n It?s easy to get desensitized to Chicago colorways, but the ?Fire Red? 4s are iconic.

Release Date:<\/strong> August 18, 2012<\/p>\n Dropping pack money is never fun, but scoring two pairs of golden laced Js is usually worth it (see: Defining Moments Pack, 2006).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> July 21, 2012<\/p>\n Are you ready for some football? This gridiron great is set to return in both Black\/White and the Marino makeup later this year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n Supreme doesn?t have any problem moving merchandise, but placing red suede and elephant print on the Dunk has a chance to broaden their already growing reach.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> November 2012<\/p>\n Whether you blend in with the leaves or stand out in camo pants, the Air Jordan 9 ?Olive? will be a go-to for fresh guys and fly gals this fall.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> July 7, 2012<\/p>\n LeBron and KD might have outshined their elder brand brother in season sales, but the summer looks to be Kobe?s.
