Taxi (2025) · CT8013-117
The Jordan 12 Retro returns in "Taxi," a colorway that has long been considered one of the model's founding statements, now reissued for 2025 under SKU CT8013-117. First worn by Michael Jordan in 1997 during his historic 5,000th career point game, the white-and-black "Taxi" pattern paired with a vivid yellow outsole was inspired by the checkered cabs of New York City, giving the shoe its nickname among collectors. Unlike general releases, Taxi has always carried extra weight in Jordan Brand's rotation because of that on-court moment, making every retrogue a callback to one of MJ's most talked-about performances. This 2025 version brings back the crisp leather upper, the tonal quilted panels, and the signature yellow rubber sole that made the original so distinctive. Sneakerheads have responded with strong anticipation, treating this drop as a must-cop for collectors who missed earlier retros in 2004, 2013, and 2022. Retail excitement centered on early links leaking ahead of the official date, with resellers already flagging it as a colorway with staying power thanks to its deep-rooted basketball history and continued demand in the retro market.
