Air Jordan XII "Nubuck" Retro Now In Stores (NOT BAD)

The Air Jordan XII is definitely in my Top 5 for Dopest Jordan's but I'm not completely sold on this new version simply called the Air Jordan XII "Nubuck".  The shoe is mostly black with a hint of Carolina Blue.  I had a chance to peep these in person recently at FinishLine and they are definitely nice.  I'm just a little confused as to why they didn't use the Carolina blue on the side panel like they did with the white and red on the originals.  I think that would have been hot as shit!

I will still consider purchasing these kicks because they are super comfortable and definitely one of the classics but I might hold off in hopes of a fresher colorway dropping sometime soon.  If I'm going to spend $150, I would rather wait for a color scheme that I really like or always wanted.  Rumor has it that they will be dropping the original White/Red colorway later this year.  DOPE!!!
