Air Jordan 12 Retro "Taxi Flip" Launching 05/25 Colorway: WHITE/BLACK/RED Style: Men's & Kids' Sneakers

Release Date: May 25, 2024

May 11, 2024

The Air Jordan 12 had big shoes to fill, as it came right after the fan-favorite Jordan 11. However, designer Tinker Hatfield more than stepped up to the occasion for the first release under the official Jordan Brand, creating a shoe that's rumored to be one of Michael Jordan's favorites.

One popular colorway back in the day was the Air Jordan 12 "Taxi," and today, we're getting a retro remix of the original 1996 style. The Jordan 12 Retro "Taxi Flip" adds some unique red flair for a shoe you won't forget. It'll be available in full family sizing for men, grade school kids, preschool kids and toddlers starting May 25.

While the OG "Taxi" shoe is just black and white, this particular remix adds red in several key accent points. The upper is the traditional tumbled white leather with radial pattern stitching. Lizard-textured black leather mudguards cover both the lateral and medial forefoot and midfoot.

The laces and tongue are white, but the silver eyelets add a pop of expression. On the tongue is red Jordan branding, including an embroidered Jumpman. Flip the shoe around, and you'll see a black heel tab with additional Jordan branding, including a red "23," another red Jumpman on a gray background, and a message reading "Quality Inspired by the Greatest Player Ever."

There are a few more red touches, including a small midsole overlay reading "Jumpman" on the lateral edge. There also appears to be a red Jumpman embedded into the black rubber outsole.

All in all, the Jordan 12 "Taxi Flip" is a basketball kick that should be driving into your closet come release day. Get the whole family involved in the fun when you shop men's, grade school kids', preschool kids' and toddler sizes on May 25 online or at your local Hibbett or City Gear store.
