Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Taxi Flip'

The Jordan 12 Retro Taxi Flip, also known as the “Red Taxi,” reimagines a classic Tinker Hatfield design with a bold twist while preserving the silhouette’s original championship era identity. As one of the early Jordan models to feature Zoom Air cushioning, the Air Jordan 12 continues to hold a strong place in the brand’s performance and lifestyle legacy.

The upper is constructed from white tumbled leather, detailed with stitched lines that radiate outward to emphasize the shoe’s structured design. A black mudguard with a lizard skin texture wraps the lower portion of the upper, adding contrast and depth. Gym Red accents appear throughout the sneaker, including the midfoot TPU overlay stamped with “JUMPMAN,” the tongue branding, the heel detailing, and the outsole. A heel pull tab extends down the back, featuring additional Jordan branding with a red Jumpman logo and grey “JORDAN” lettering. The midsole integrates responsive cushioning supported by a carbon fiber plate, reinforcing the model’s performance heritage.

What makes this release stand out is the combination of classic “Taxi” inspired color blocking with bold Gym Red highlights, giving the sneaker a more aggressive and modern presence. It maintains the Air Jordan 12’s iconic structure while introducing a refreshed visual identity. The Jordan 12 Retro Taxi Flip released on May 25, 2024 with a retail price of $200.
