If you read in to Tinkers words about this model, it was all on purpose. His whole goal was to go a totally different direction with the 12 from the 11. Overall he wanted the 12 to look nothing like the 11. At first view as a kid, I was like "WTF" , But when I first saw the Frozen Moment Ad, I was hooked. Games on NBC just added to the want of this shoe.
Ive never been fortunate enough to have a pair of Taxis over the years. It’s that one shoe that has always eluded me. Everyone has that one shoe. The shape on these is a bit off, slight banana action going on. But with that said I’m extremely happy to have them….. even if they still aren’t quite Taxi’s.
P.S
Its always been crazy how much of a different direction that tinker chose to go in as opposed to the XI. The XII is phenomenal , just a tank of a shoe and the exact opposite of what the XI was in my opinion.
I dont know if this is fact or not, but the Jumpman Pro was rumored to be the first idea for the 12. It def looks like it leans back towards the XI. So glad it turned out how it did.
