Quick, think back to the first time you saw the Air Jordan 12 Deep Royal Blue. What was your initial reaction?
- “Wow, Jordan Brand is running out of ideas.”
- “Wow, those are hot, but why was the picture taken from 2005 flip phone?”
- “Please don’t be $400, Please don’t be $400…”
- “I’m not sure if I have ripped jeans that will match that shade of blue…”
- “Well, that’s gonna be fun trying to recreate in NBA 2K17.”
If you’re in that last category, congratulations, you’re me. The shade of blue Jordan Brand used leaves it open to interpretation for those who haven’t seen them in person; is it blue or is it really closer to purple? For my money (and because I haven’t seen them in person), the blue reminds me of the hue the Los Angeles Clippers used in their alternate blue jerseys prior to moving over to their current scheme. We used that as the starting point for the shoes and moved the sliders so that it’s a little darker compared to the uniforms.
Going back to a concern we had last week when we tried to make a Battle Grey Nike Kobe 11, the metallic finish on the midsole accent and the suede option on the upper doesn’t always appear in the actual game shoe. Hopefully it’s something that be fixed with a patch in later updates but for now enjoy these building for your digital Blake Griffin as the shoe drops this weekend.
