Jordan XII Red Taxi - May 18, 2024

Which is more of a reason not to release a shoe like this.

Exactly. They did it once. No need to beat a dead horse.

JB gives us a lot of variety when it comes to the xiis. I just don't see the big deal honestly. They're different enough to stand out from the taxis. No one has a problem with JB whoring out the color toe blocking on the 1s.

It really is not a big deal. Just some conversation. But you got me there on the 1s. That shoe has been tossed up too many times.

I feel like thats what they are doing. The shoe is not terrible at all, if the royalty never dropped.

Exactly. I like the shoe but super minor changes. lol

 

[bestintheworld]

Pass. Just release the regular taxis and I’ll buy those.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I wanted Taxi’s and they are forcing public transportation.

This. But those 12s aren't it. To minor of a change to charge another $200. As for the 1s, they can put those in the vault for another 20 years and it will be ok to me. They really have ran through the colors on those to the point it's just ridiculous.

Although I understand the frustration of waiting on OGs you really want(Black tongue fire red Vs, Columbias) I think we have to remain cognisant of the fact that JB has a fine line to tread on regards to keeping the OGs "fresh" if that makes sense. Giving us too much in too short of time could backfire. We got the playoffs last year and we're getting cherries this year. I think JB is just playing it safe with OGs, within the last 5-6 years we've gotten some great OGs as well as retro+ colorways imo. I have no idea why they're taking so long with retroing taxis again but I feel like after the cherries, it won't be too long before we see em again.

Don’t forget Obsidians too. Why not release 03’ Flints? In reality no one outside of this board is buying XII, XIII, or XIV right now. So why don’t they try another model? I’m actually surprised they’re not pumping out more IXs and Xs because prices are up on most models and most of us are looking forward to Powder Blues more than anything. The last X released outside of a collab was Oct 2019 (Seattle). From a manufacturing standpoint IX and X seem pretty easy to make so why not pump them out and give us a break on 12-14 (unless you’re dropping OGs or retros from the early 2000s). Shoot, even prices are up on XVs.

Yawn. Another absolutely pointless release.

 

[Darth Fett]

I’m blacking out the Jumpman tab and calling it a day. Definitely will be on sale

Expect the finished product to look like this, according to this one.

 

[da hen]

Was in before, still in baby

 

[OldManJays]

Just give us regular Taxis already. The change on these is way too minor to justify them.
