The Jordan 12 “Taxi”: A Return Worth Waiting For

The Jordan 12 “Taxi” is a silhouette that has lived in rotation, memory, and mythology since 1996. And now, in 2025, it’s finally returning in a form that feels as close to the original as we’ve seen in years. Not reimagined. Not remixed. Just right.

The Taxi has always been a study in balance... bold without noise, luxurious without excess. Black and white, clean lines, subtle gold touches. A shoe that doesn’t rely on hype because its design has never needed defending. It’s the kind of Jordan that moves quietly yet holds presence, the pair that works for collectors, purists, and everyday wearers at the same time.

For many, this re-release is more than nostalgia. It’s a reset. A reminder of Jordan Brand at its most disciplined: purposeful, confident, timeless. The Taxi wasn’t built for loud moments; it was built for lasting ones. And nearly three decades later, that intention still shows.

We’ve seen excitement building early, but not the frenzied, fast-burning kind, no, the steady anticipation of people who know exactly what this shoe means. A return to form. A return to simplicity. A return to one of the greatest non-OG-colorway Jordans ever made.

2025 might be full of big releases, but the Taxi feels like the one that grounds everything.
A classic, restored.
A legend, back in motion.

And for those who understand its story, the wait has only made the arrival sweeter.

The AJ12 "Taxi" is available now: mens and GS.
