According to NTinfomaniac from NikeTalk, the release of the Air Jordan XII (12) Retro “Rising Sun” is officially being delayed.

The Air Jordan XII “Rising Sun” was originally scheduled to hit store shelves on Saturday, October 24th, but based on an email sent to Jordan Brand retailers (listed after the jump), the shoes won’t be shipped out anytime soon. The main cause for the delay, according to the email, is that the Oct. 24th release was never properly authorized. Now only time will time when the AJ11 Rising Sun will officially be released.

If this news is unbearable and you were banking on coppin’ a pair this weekend, then you can try your luck on eBay, because there’s surprisingly a bunch of sizes available. Checkout detailed photos and a copy of the email from Jordan Headquarters after the jump.
