The Air Jordan 12 Retro “Taxi” returns as one of the most iconic colorways in Jordan history — a clean, powerful mix of sport luxury and heritage. Originally released in 1996 and famously worn by MJ during his late-90s dominance, the pair features a white tumbled leather upper with bold black mudguards in textured faux lizard skin. Gold eyelets at the collar add a touch of polish, a subtle nod to the “luxury inspired by the Japanese Rising Sun” theme behind the AJ12’s design.
Underfoot, a full-length Zoom Air unit and carbon fiber midfoot plate deliver the plush yet responsive ride that made the model one of the best performers in the Jordan line. The black outsole, accented with gold Jumpman and “23” heel hits, keeps the balance between classic and statement.
The “Taxi” remains one of those pairs that effortlessly bridges court legacy and off-court style — simple, timeless, and instantly recognizable. Whether you’re chasing nostalgia or adding a cornerstone to your rotation, this is Jordan DNA at its purest.
