The Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” is one of the most iconic colorways in the Air Jordan line, and sneaker enthusiasts are in for a treat as it makes its highly anticipated return in 2025. Originally released in 1996, the “Taxi” colorway has become a staple in the sneaker community, revered for its sleek design and timeless appeal.

The “Taxi” features a clean and classic color scheme with a predominantly white leather upper, complemented by black accents on the mudguard, outsole, and heel. The shoe’s name comes from the yellow accents on the carbon fiber shank plate and the gold lace eyelets, reminiscent of the yellow cabs in New York City. The black Jumpman logo on the tongue and the bold “23” on the heel add to the shoe’s distinctive look.

When the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” was first released, it quickly gained popularity not only for its striking appearance but also for its performance on the court. Michael Jordan wore this colorway during the 1996-1997 NBA season, leading the Chicago Bulls to their fifth NBA championship. The shoe’s design, inspired by the Japanese rising sun flag, symbolized Jordan’s rise to greatness.

In 2025, the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” will return with an improved shape that closely resembles the original release, ensuring that fans get an authentic experience. Additionally, the shoe will come with original packaging, adding to the nostalgia and collector’s value.
