The Taxi Colorway Debuts on the Air Jordan 12

Inspired by Japan's Rising Sun flag and a woman's 19th-century shoe's high heel (yes, you heard that correctly!), the Tinker Hatfield-designed Air Jordan 12 made its debut in 1996. MJ wanted a comfortable, durable heel that was also stylish, so he took his cue from a woman's shoe profile.

The OG Jordan 12 originated with five colorways in 1996 and 1997. The Air Jordan 12 Retro series was later introduced in 2003 and continues today. From OG colorways like "Taxi" and "Flu Game" to exclusive Retro collabs with OVO and PSNY, Air Jordan 12 sneakers are sought after for their bold silhouette, sharp color combos and long-wearing durability.

Air Jordan 12: History and a Brand New Launch

After the extraordinary success of the Air Jordan 11, Michael Jordan's 12th signature shoe was released in 1996. The official launch of the Jordan Brand occurred the following year, and the Jordan 12s were the last of the line to be sold in a Nike branded box.

Aesthetically, the AJ 12 merged details like stitched leather panels that resembled rays from the sun with a sleek shape based loosely on a 19th-century dress boot. Performance-wise, the Air Jordan 12s retained the revolutionary carbon fiber plate introduced in the Air Jordan 11 and added Nike Zoom Air cushioning - the first Jordan sneaker to do so.

Jordan 12 Retro Low Taxi 2011

New for the 2011 catalog, the Jordan brand debuted the Taxi colorway on its Air Jordan 12 low-top silhouette. This Taxi redesign dons a black collar in place of its traditional white design. Black continues on the front mudguard, the inner sock liner, heel tab, front midsole, and the outer sole. A black Jumpman logo sits on the top of the tongue, while the word "TWO 3" is stamped vertically down the tongue. The number 23 appears once again on the shoe's heel in a Varsity Red, a color that continues up the heel to a Jumpman logo that sits on the heel tab. A final Varsity Red Jumpman is stamped into the shoe's bottom tread at the very top of the toe.
