Air Jordan 12 Campaign: Fly Through, Fly Around, Fly Over

by Tanner Steidel on Feb 23, 2012 5:43 PM PST in Site Stuff

Anybody who's anybody (I'm somebody!) reading this blog on a regular basis (we love and appreciate all of you <3) knows that I'm a sneaker nut. I sacrificed my Friday night last week to wait for the Jordan IV Cements to drop at midnight. While I didn't trample anyone to land the Jordan XI Concords two days before Christmas, I did have to spend a little more coin than I would have liked. Knowing my love for sneakers, especially Jordans, you could only imagine my excitement when SB Nation decided to run a video tournament of sorts to promote the upcoming release of the Air Jordan 2012s.

The new Jordan 12s (not to be confused with Jordan XIIs) come in three different styles: Fly Through, Fly Around, and Fly Over (all available this Saturday). To promote these new beauties, SB Nation is asking readers to vote on which highlight they believe encapsulates each of those specific styles. The first round of voting is for the Fly Through category. You can watch all of the highlights and vote on your favorite here.

What exactly does it mean to "Fly Through" you ask? Here's just one of the videos you have the option of voting for...

There are four other options to vote for, so get on over to the SB Nation home page (or click the link earlier in this post) and let your voice be heard. Be on the lookout next week when the options for Fly Around and Fly Over are posted. Let the Liberty Ballers voice be heard!

My favorite parts of that video are Shaq’s face on the bench and Mike Brown’s overall Mike Brownness.

The dunk is solid, but I gotta go CP3.

How many pairs of J’s do you have, Tanner??

whats your favorite pair??

I’m partial to the concords and the True Blue IIIs

I peg you as an XI Playoff fan. That’s a complete guess though…

Same.

I’m not that big of a fan either but I’m obssessed with foams. I own every single pair and a few customs. And I won’t buy from resellers so I had to wai in line.

Who picked those videos? The Wade on Varejao dunk is definitely one of the best that I’ve ever seen, and Wallace on Oden is nice, but the rest don’t seem like anything that you wouldn’t see on the daily highlights on NBA.com.

LeBron jumping over that dude for the oop this year (though that would be more like “Flying Over” rather than “Through”) or practically any dunk that Blake Griffin has had in the past 2 seasons would have been much better choices. Kevin Martin?

All are Jordan brand athletes. LeBron and Blake do Nike.

just another reason to love this site

I’m a big time sneakerhead, I even bought a pair of aj5s wolf greys instead of a textbook I needed for last semester (thank god for textbook torrents). U think lb can create a separate section to just talk about kicks and release dates?
