Air Jordan Original OG 12 (XII) Taxis White / Black Taxi

The Air Jordan XII was first released in 1996, this model set a new technology in shoe design and direction in style, featuring zoom air, gold plated steel lace loops and embossed lizard skin pattern. The shoe is widely considered to be the most durable and sturdy shoes from the Air Jordan line ever made.

The Air Jordan 12 (XII) Original (OG) Taxi (White / Black Taxi) was released in November of 1996, retailing for$200. They feature a white and black make up, along with gold accents, as seen on the lacing eyelets. They are dubbed the Taxis, as the arch area and outsole feature a black and yellow portion, reminiscent of NYC taxi cabs. The shoe itself has some history behind it, as it was inspired by the Nisshoki, which is the Japanese rising sun flag, as well as a 19th century womens dress boot. It features stitched leather which radiates outward like sun rays, and this theme extends all the way to the arch of the shoe. The arch features two large rands, which run along the midsole, and feature embossed lizard skin, similar to the Air Jordan 2 (II). The sole, although heavy, is durable and sturdy, making these a good pair of shoes to play basketball in. The only knock on these is the lack of the inner bootie, which means that the shoe does not fit as snug as it could, or should, for that matter.
