Air Jordan 12 Retro "Taxi" 2025 CT8013-117

The Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” is back, and it’s as iconic as ever. First worn by Michael Jordan during his dominant ’96–’97 season, this clean, confident silhouette returns in 2025 with all the classic details fans have been waiting for.

The upper stays true to the original — crisp white leather balanced by a deep black mudguard and sole. Gold eyelets and subtle yellow touches give the sneaker its “Taxi” nickname, nodding to the yellow cabs that inspired its look. It’s simple, yet powerful. Every panel, every stitch feels true to the era that shaped Jordan’s legacy.

Tinker Hatfield’s design still feels fresh decades later. The distinctive stitched lines running across the upper resemble the rising sun, a quiet reminder of the relentless energy MJ brought to the court. Beneath, Air Zoom cushioning keeps the step soft yet responsive — proof that comfort and history can share the same stage.

This 2025 edition doesn’t rewrite the playbook. It respects it. It’s a faithful return for purists, but one that still stands out on the street today. Whether you’re adding to your rotation or copping your first pair, the AJ12 “Taxi” is a must for anyone who appreciates heritage done right.
