The Nike Air Jordan 12 (XII) Original (OG)- Taxi (White/Black-Taxi)  was released in 1996-1997. In the 96/97 season Michael Jordan saw himself being bounced by Karl Malone, who won the thinnest of edges one can think of the most valuable player honors the throne. Jordan in the finals, got his revenge though, and led the Bulls past Malone's Utah Jazz, also picked up the Finals MVP honor of the fifth. 

Air Jordan 12 Retro White/Flint Grey/Metallic Silver is one of Nike Air Jordan Retro 12 Shoes. This shoes was to have something totally new when it came to plan. The way the ribbed leather seemed to go all the way to down to the ground because of the match in color with the mid, really made people turn their heads. This unique design was partly inspired by the flag of the Japanese Army & Navy in which the red circle is surrounded by a "sunset".
