Jordan 12 Retro Taxi (2025)

Air Jordan 12 Retro "Taxi" (2025) — CT8013-117

The Air Jordan 12 Retro "Taxi" is one of the most storied colorways in the Jordan Brand catalog. Originally worn by Michael Jordan during the 1996–97 championship season, the silhouette was designed by Tinker Hatfield and became inseparable from Jordan's second three-peat run. The 2025 retro keeps the formula faithful: a premium tumbled white leather upper, a deep black reptile-textured mudguard, and gold eyelets that carry the subtle luxury the model has always been known for.

The "Taxi" nickname traces back to the yellow accents and gold hardware that echo the color of New York City cabs — a quiet but deliberate design nod woven throughout the shoe. The stitched paneling running across the upper is a Hatfield signature on the AJ12, and the contrast of crisp white, black, and taxi yellow gives the silhouette its enduring versatility both on and off the court. Underfoot, Air-Sole cushioning rounds out a package that stays true to the original 1997 construction.
