The Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” is making a triumphant return in 2025, reintroducing one of the most iconic colorways in the Air Jordan legacy. Originally released in 1996, the “Taxi” quickly gained fame for its sleek design, classic color scheme, and on-court performance, cementing its status as a must-have for sneakerheads and basketball fans alike.
The 2025 version of the “Taxi” stays true to its roots with a predominantly white leather upper and contrasting black accents on the mudguard, outsole, and heel. The shoe’s name comes from the yellow details on the carbon fiber shank plate and gold lace eyelets, evoking the imagery of New York City’s yellow taxis. The black Jumpman logo on the tongue and the bold “23” on the heel add to the shoe’s standout aesthetic.
What sets this release apart is its historical significance. Michael Jordan famously wore the “Taxi” colorway during the 1996-1997 NBA season, leading the Chicago Bulls to their fifth NBA championship. Inspired by the Japanese rising sun flag, the design of the Air Jordan 12 symbolizes Jordan’s rise to greatness, making it a timeless symbol of excellence both on and off the court.
