The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Taxi' from 2013 pays homage to the original white/black colorway famously sported by Michael Jordan back in the 1996-97 NBA regular season. This iconic shoe showcases metallic gold eyelets and a black outsole accompanied by a carbon fiber shank, cleverly reminiscent of the black and yellow colors of New York City's taxi cabs. Initially reintroduced in 2008 as part of the highly sought-after Countdown Collection, the 'Taxi' silhouette was further celebrated with a low-top version in 2011.
