The original release date called for a release thjis coming Saturday, October 24th, however a message has just been sent to all Jordan Brand retailers the release has been delayed. The email states that all Rising Sun Air Jordan XII shoes already shipped to retailers arent authorized to be sold on the original October 24th release date and should not be put on the shelves until further notice.

For all those of you looking to grab a pair of the Rising Sun Air Jordan XII Retro your best bet is to grab a pair on eBay unless you wanna wait to that official release comes. We will be sure to keep you updated as the news develops. The email from Jordan Brand follows after the jump.
