Jordan 12 Retro Royalty Taxi

The Air Jordan 12 “Royalty” draws strong comparisons to 1997’s “Taxi” release by keeping with the same white leather upper and faux-lizard textured mudguard. What’s missing is the hit of Taxi Yellow on the heel racing stripe, the exposed carbon fiber plate at the mid-foot, and the red Jumpman logo that sits at the toe. While the golden eyelets by the ankle are true to the original, Jordan Brand swaps out the mid-foot piece to a matching gilded plate for further touch on the “Royalty” moniker.
