Air Jordan 12 Reto Black Taxi

The Air Jordan 12 Retro “Black Taxi” reimagines one of the silhouette’s most celebrated colorways through a stealthy, monochromatic lens. Originally released on December 3, 2022, this iteration pays homage to the original “Taxi” from 1996 while introducing a dramatic all-black aesthetic that sets it apart.The upper is crafted from smooth black leather, accented with tonal stitched detailing and fortified by lizard-textured synthetic leather mudguards that match the shoe’s covert vibe. What truly distinguishes the “Black Taxi” is its use of Taxi yellow accents against the darkened backdrop. Molded eyelets, a small midfoot overlay, and the embroidered Jumpman logo on the tongue all feature this signature gold tone. Additional yellow hits appear on the “Two 3” and Jumpman branding at the tongue, along with the heel tab and ankle “23”.Performance remains true to the AJ12’s championship DNA. A black Phylon midsole houses full-length Zoom Air cushioning for responsive comfort, while a carbon fiber shank plate provides midfoot stability. The outsole features a black herringbone traction pattern, with subtle black-and-yellow carbon fiber detailing peeking through.
