Hailing a taxi can be tough at peak hours, but here’s one that you’ll be able to keep forever, assuming you can get a pair. The Air Jordan XII Low ‘Taxi’ offers us a glimpse at the shoe Mike wore during 1996-97 regular season home games. Those were, of course, the OG midtop version of the Twelve, this being a retro of the first run of AJXII Lows back in 2004 (after the Air Jordan XI LE, Jordan Brand skipped a year before offering the AJXIII Low in summer ’98). So these are sorta like a ‘missing’ shoe in some ways, but here’s hoping that you’ll be able to get a pair when they hit retail later this year. Click through to get a better look and let us know if low is a go. via in52

I still got mine from 04. I got my OG mids too I only wear once in a rare while. Oh well I’ve always been in love with the black/white cw of the 12s. These will be copped. I bet though they will be on sale later

I had a feeling JB was gon re-release these earlier than expected like w/the 9's & such, but I would have never thought they would change them to the lows for the re-release. I was really looking farward to the midtops being re-release…………….Oh well can't always have it my way I guess.

Hmm wonder what the retail price is gonna be on these????
January 25th, 2011 at 2:16 pm

January 25th, 2011 at 2:46 pm
dont care wat anybody says these shits hard
January 25th, 2011 at 3:14 pm
I have to see these on foot first.
January 25th, 2011 at 3:14 pm
they midtop taxis did drop, in the countdown pack in 2008
January 25th, 2011 at 3:16 pm
I brought these to the h-town sneaker summit and people were wanting them, so i have the release fro '04, i might as well keep em now
January 25th, 2011 at 3:21 pm
I think so too. I dont know why but when i saw these i think i liked them more than the mid-tops
January 25th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
too much heat to waste $ on these
January 25th, 2011 at 3:48 pm
I heard $125.
If they release as a pack $250. (I doubt they will be a pack together, they might just be a individual pack like the Candy Pack II's.)
I'm not 100% on this info though, I heard word of mouth from a Champs Manager.

I can't wait to see the Playoff lows!
January 25th, 2011 at 3:52 pm
MY GUESS WOULD BE 150 CAUSE ITS A LOW CUT SHOE. IT SEEMS SO FAR THAT JB IS ASKING 160 FOR THE HIGHS OR MIDS AND 150 FOR THE LOWS. RETROS THAT IS. EXCLUDING THE 11'S OF COURSE THOSE ALWAYS BEING 175. HYBRIDS AND TEAM J'S ARE ANOTHER SUBJECT THAT YOU WOULD BE ON YOUR OWN WITH. FIGURING THAT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG.
January 25th, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Couldn't have said it better myself. Truthhh
January 25th, 2011 at 3:53 pm
CHIZURCH
January 25th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
since these are low tops there should be a lower price i mean u cant get around it less material less mola u gotta pay in economic stand point i would say since JB sell @ 150 these should be around $130-40 comment if u disagree
January 25th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
These are cool to just hang around the telli in. Like down the shore in the summer. Not to make an outfit outta.
January 25th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
imma get em just so i dont have to wear my taxi's mids
January 25th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
i wanna cop these so bad! does anybody know if they will be 125 for sure?
January 25th, 2011 at 7:49 pm

January 25th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
The low XI's that are to come out this year are $120 so id expected the low XII's to be right around that price point as well.
January 26th, 2011 at 2:25 am
Will pass easy jb needs to retro the palyoff 12's then thats an instant cop.
January 26th, 2011 at 4:14 pm
