JORDAN 12 BLACK TAXI GS

Air Jordan 12 Retro "Black Taxi" (GS) – 153265-071

The Air Jordan 12 Retro "Black Taxi" GS is a grade-school sizing of one of the most storied colorway families in the Air Jordan line. Released on December 3, 2022, this iteration flips the classic Taxi DNA into a blacked-out palette: a black leather upper with tonal radial stitch lines and lizard-textured mudguards in color-matched synthetic leather. Contrasting yellow accents — on the molded eyelets, midfoot overlay, and tongue Jumpman embroidery — deliver the signature Taxi color hit that gives the nickname its meaning.

The Air Jordan 12 was originally designed by Tinker Hatfield and debuted in 1996, drawing inspiration from the Japanese rising sun motif. The silhouette is notable for its encapsulated Nike Air heel unit, carbon fiber-inspired shank plate running through the midfoot, and a herringbone-patterned rubber outsole for durable traction. The "Black Taxi" colorway carries forward the championship-era legacy of the AJ12 in a stealthy, monochromatic build.
