Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Taxi' (2025)

Hail the Taxi. The AJ12 GOAT Colorway.

The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Taxi' (2025) brings back what many consider the greatest Air Jordan 12 colorway ever created — the clean, bold black and taxi yellow combination that Michael Jordan wore during the 1996-97 NBA season, on his way to his fifth NBA Championship and fifth Finals MVP. The 'Taxi' is the AJ12 at its most commanding, most iconic, and most historically significant.

Black. Yellow. Championship Pedigree.

Tinker Hatfield designed the Air Jordan 12 with the Rising Sun flag of Japan as his inspiration — and the 'Taxi' colorway channels that bold, graphic energy through a vivid taxi yellow Tumbled leather upper contrasted by a sleek black carbon fiber shank plate and outsole. The quilted stitching pattern on the upper, inspired by the construction of a soccer ball, gives the AJ12 a texture and craftsmanship that few other Jordan models can match. The 2025 retro honors every detail of this legendary shoe.
