Did Someone Call a Cab? The Air Jordan 12 Retro “Taxi” is Back

Originally released in 1996, the “Taxi” Air Jordan 12 helped define an era when Michael Jordan’s dominance on the court was matched only by his legendary style. Now, the fan-favorite colorway returns with that same winning formula, combining premium craftsmanship, timeless design, and the unmistakable confidence that made the silhouette an icon.

Designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 12 broke new ground as the first in the series to feature Zoom Air cushioning — a leap forward in both comfort and performance. This 2025 reissue stays true to the original, showcasing a crisp white leather upper accented by black overlays and subtle hits of yellow that inspired the “Taxi” nickname. Each detail, from the metallic gold eyelets to the stitched sunburst pattern radiating from the midfoot, captures the sleek energy of MJ’s unstoppable drive.

While the look remains faithful to its ‘90s roots, this release brings a fresh appreciation for what made the silhouette so special. Its balanced blend of sport and luxury makes it just as wearable today, whether you’re hitting the court, the streets, or simply building your rotation with a must-have Jordan classic.
