It seems like Nike want us to celebrate Valentine’s Day in March. The festive Cupid-referencing Air Jordan 12 Grade School pair will finally be released March 5th.
The new release will be an exclusive for the ladies thanks to the combination of Dynamic Pink-mudguard a pristine tumbled white based leather while a Dynamic Pink-mudguard does most of the heavy lifting on this pair.
The usual heart-basketball logo found on past Valentine’s Day releases is absent with this pair unfortunately, but the vibrant pink shade definitely makes up for it. So my female sneaker heads be extra nice today… this is a great post V-Day gift.

New York Giant Wide Receiver Victor Cruz’s signature sneaker gets a Black Cement treatment inspired by the Air Jordan 3. In the past, Cruz has mentioned the Air Jordan 3 as one of his favorite sneaker, which explains the similar colorway on the next release.
Although Safari dresses these up nicely instead of cement print, you can still see the obvious nod on the uppers. Tumbled leathers and smooth collars finish these off nicely, alongside the Nike Air tongue.
The sneaker will be coming to a retailer near you soon.
