In a continuation of a series of previews into the Air Jordan 25th Silver Anniversary collection, part 2 brings the following early looks. Like the previous batch, and a theme consistent throughout the whole collection, all white uppers and outsoles mark each release. Seen here are the Air Jordans II, VII, XII, XVII, and XX2. No word yet on a release date.

The long wait is over for the Air Jordan VI x Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher. The shoe has been put on eBay and the proceeds will go to the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. The size 12 Nike Air Yeezy will come in a special lasered box, to showcase its one-of-one characteristic. The shoe itself is crazy, using a black upper consisting of a patent leather strap, leather ankle panel, suede toe, and perforated nubuck side panel. But most of all, the shoe sits atop a Jordan VI (6) outsole, making this black on black shoe the first and only of its kind. To contrast the shoe, the Air Yeezy lacelock is fitted in orange, standing out on this neckbreaker. So get ready to spend some real dough for a couple good causes: charity and heat for your feet.

Finally, detailed images of the long awaited release of Air Jordan XII (12) White/Varsity Red/Black have surfaced and become available for presale. The retro appears to stay true to the original 1997 release, unlike the alterations seen on the Flu Game Air Jordan XII. However, the overall shape of this retro seems to be a tad bit different from the original. None the less, Jordan Brand fans will rejoyce at the sight of these. Winter/Holiday 2009 is shaping up to be one of the better years in terms of releases for the Jordan Brand.
