After witnessing a healthy flow of Air Jordan III releases in 2011 (which marked the 23rd Anniversary of the Air Jordan III), we were wise enough to prepare for a solid 2012 year, which we figured would be teeming with Air Jordan IV releases. After February 2012′s ‘White/Cement’ IV release, we caught wind of a few other confirmations, like June’s ‘Military Blue’ and Black Friday’s ‘Black/Red’ IV, and August’s White/Red IV; we last saw this original colorway in 2006, reprising its role as the ‘Mars’ edition and featuring Spike Lee’s iconic visage stamped on the heel of the shoe, but 2012′s version will come with a blank upper like the original we once knew. Here we have a look at the GS production of this highly anticipated release, so extrapolate that into an adult size if you must and we’ll keep you updated on more on this upcoming release as it develops.

Anyone remember the original “light-up” shoes put out decades ago? That territory was all L.A. Gear (when’s the last time your heard that name), but it’s making a swift comeback for the adult-sized kicks thanks to a number of well-done custom jobs like the Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ and the LeBron 9 joints. Sneaker customizer Evolved Footwear has been working on infusing lights into his Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 Mens kicks for a while, so following up his Dunk High Hyperfuse project from mid-April is a pair of the Air Jordan III; the upper appears to be completely untouched, with the only custom aspect of the shoe being the light-infused Max Air unit at the heel. Does this minute touch elevate the AJ3 to new heights, or is a shoe like the Air Jordan III better left untouched? Peep the extra images below and let us know your thoughts.
