Air Jordan 12 Retro – White/Black-Taxi

After the genre-bending Air Jordan 11 took the world by storm, Nike and designer Tinker Hatfield needed to follow things up with something completely new.

For the 1996 season, Hatfield looked to incorporate a new cushioning technology called Zoom Air. The Jordan 12’s distinctive design was the first time we ever saw the advanced system implemented in to Jordan franchise.

Fitting right within the AJ12 canon comes the re-release of the Taxi colourway. First released in 1996 it makes its return with a full-grain white leather upper, contrasted with black on the mudguard, outsole and back of the upper, while the style gets its name from subtle pops of yellow on the heel tab, sole and gold-toned metallic eyelets.
