Taxi 12's - December '13

I needed a 10.5 too. I just paid that 250 and charged it to the game lol. Write the extra off on taxes as a business loss. Lol. 10.5 is hard to get, I usually go hard at a another size and sell it to buy my size. Hey I may have to wait a few days but what can I say, I'm just a business man.
 
These def run a half size bigger. I wish I would have gotten a 9 instead of a 9.5. If I put some old nike inserts in they feel fine but other wise there is too much wiggle room. I don't remember my original playoff 12 feeling this big on me. I don't know but after the fact, I wish I had gotten a 9 instead of 9.5
 
Im very surprised with these...not a fan of the XII at all but purchase as a Xmas present for a buddy....when the shoes came in..I tried it on and I was sold...Taxi with light Grey jeans and your set...
btw...def. 1/2 size down....im a 9.5 and I to my surprise this just fit perfect!

1. They finally came in, and they look way better than they already do in person. I never had the OG's, CDP's, or the retro's, so I can't compare. Compared to the Playoffs though, the Taxi's have less padding around the ankle, even though the playoffs didn't have all that much, and the leather isn't as soft.

2. The sizing is a bit strange. I guess due to the less padding around the ankle, it was a bit difficult to get my foot into these, but once in, they fit comfortable and I have a good amount of toe space. While the Playoff 12's were easy to get into, and fit perfectly.

3. I'm completely happy with this shoe. I really love the tumbled leather, and you can never go wrong with a black / white colorway. I put them on as I was wearing black shorts, and I can easily see myself beating these to the ground.

i wear 10.5. ordered 10 but its still loose, even with elite socks. these are def 1+ too big.
 
I've been meaning to post this: My issue in the beginning was the sizing and everyone here told me to .5 a size down. I took the advice and these fit like a glove, no complaints here! Thank you NT fam

I debated with someone in this thread about whether or not the XV came in a Nike box or not. I remembered it to be a Nike box, but said I could be wrong and went searching for my XVs

I was right.

They originally came in the Jordan "Face" Box. There were times when some j's came with the Nike "Orange" box, i.e outlets.

So I got my pair yesterday and these definitely fit big on my feet - similar to the retro 8s.  Half size down would've been perfect but whatever.
 
Mom and pop tried to charge me $380 for these smh. The only other spot around me wants $300 and I'm definitely not spending that much, trying to get these for my brother has been a hassle.

The XVs started the face box era. His face is covered in lines like the Jumpman on the side of the shoe.
