The Iconic Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” is Making a Triumphant Comeback in 2025
Get ready sneakerheads, because the highly coveted Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” is set to make a grand return in 2025. This beloved sneaker, first released in 1996, holds a special place in the hearts of basketball fans and sneaker enthusiasts alike.
The “Taxi” edition gained its fame when Michael Jordan himself wore it during the 1996-1997 NBA season, leading the Chicago Bulls to victory. Its iconic design, inspired by the yellow cabs of New York City, has solidified its place in the footwear hall of fame.
But it’s not just its cultural significance that makes this shoe a must-have. The white leather upper is accented by a black mudguard, outsole, and heel, while gold eyelets and a yellow carbon fiber plate pay homage to its taxi cab inspiration. The Jumpman logo in black on the tongue and the red “23” on the heel add the perfect finishing touches.
While the 2025 version of the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” will feature some modern updates, it will stay true to the original design as much as possible. And for those who appreciate the nostalgia, the shoe will come in the same packaging as the 1996 edition.
Mark your calendars, because the 2025 Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” is expected to drop online and in Jordan Brand retailers during the Fall/Holiday 2024 season. And for those looking to cop a pair, the shoe will be available in full family sizes, with the adult version priced at $215 USD. Check out the gallery above for a closer look at this iconic design.
