I love the red on this shoe, it really adds a nice touch

[@cashclothes9947]

Finally, a pair of Jordan 12's that will match my entire wardrobe. I've never had brand new 12's this is awesome

[@EyeAmToya]

I actually like the red Jumpman on the side.

[@juaquindiaz4308]

I’m getting “He got game” vibes with this colorway

[@mavericklewis4392]

true

[@chawkeewhite8916]

Those were 13s lol

[@juaquindiaz4308]

@@chawkeewhite8916 I know I’m saying that this color way is very similar to the he got game 13s…

[@BobbyObado]

Back tab of the 12 will always be iconic.

[@AlexBB77]

I wouldn't say AJ12s are necessarily super popular at the moment or more hyped all the sudden. I just think some of us want certain colorways of the 12s ; especially the OG colorways. But even still the Playoff 12s sat and restocked many times and were far from instant sell-outs on those restocks, Cherry 12s didn't exactly fly off-shelves and they restocked numerous times. Don't think a lot of the younger generation / younger collectors appreciate AJ12s as much as us older collectors. But not mad at it , usually easy cops and can often double-up as well.

[@keyzopendoorz123]

The shot at 10:01 made me make my mind up about getting them

[@raudinisaaclacsina3648]

Been waiting for this review.Thanks Chris

[@michaelmarks9002]

The jumpman coming into the toe is one of my favorites about the 12. It’s so cool. The 12 was my first jordan when I was a kid I had the cherrys. Had flu games as well. 1st grade baby.

[@stevenwilliams4211]

Love these. Cop what you like....I like that Jordan brand is keeping it fresh as they can....sometimes I have OG fatigue. I copped 2 weeks ago and have been loving them!

[@hectorfigueroa2294]

For real!!!!

[@oloatis2182]

Yes these are nice, I don’t understand why people complain so much

[@BigSparky1316]

See stuff like this is why i just bought a pair of OG taxis off ebay for like 55 bucks and restored them. The fit, shape and everything about the shoe is so much better then any retro. Dope review tho brother!

[@Bearlyontime]

I still be coppin because I like the red hits and super clean, sweet shirt!

[@jerrelsamuels8076]

Facts

[@Dickens5632]

Time to go pre-order that shirt 🔥

[@kaelanmccarter1521]

the bloodline and the taxi flips are cool 🔥🔥🔥

[@user-oj4un5ly1c]

🔥 video ! I love this colorway ima double up on these great review

[@jasongarcia8733]

"These are not the Taxis you're looking for" got me. Almost did a spit take hearing that.

[@kairodriguez6820]

Actually did spray my soda.

[@fantasyrosa]

I like them because they go with my niner fits. Especially with the throwback 55 jerseys.

[@cls2863]

That into was 🔥. Good look on the 12 . Black tongue n red letters is chefs kiss and those should be named dark side.

[@AlexanderKunDesu]

The sad part is that the pre school and toddler pair doesn’t have the red Jumpman tab on the lateral side making them look like an actual pair of Taxi’s. I’d probably get a pair if I see them in a discounted price at the outlets, but definitely not worth the $200 price tag for me.

[@sachielord6190]

This is my 1st Jordan shoes and I love it thank you for the review sir.🥰🥰🥰

[@eddie3600]

love your videos !

[@sachielord6190]

This is my 1st jordan shoes 🥰🥰🥰 and i love it thnx for the review

[@gonzalovazquez8158]

I remember when these dropped back in 96..i was between these and the air penny 2 in black..! So obviously i picked the penny 2..glad i did...😅

[@Andrew77MUFC]

12s have always been one of my favorite OG models , the 11s & 12s original releases really took my love of sneakers and Jordans in particular to another level. Especially as both those OG releases represent to me MJ's second 3-peat era as well. But at this point i am trying to stick to mostly OGs in general , including AJ12s. I'll just wait for the OG AJ12s Taxis at this point , JB been dancing around with all these Taxi variations in recent years , its time to just give us the OGs already. Hoping with now the Bred / Flu-game 12s not looking like releasing in 2025 that JB finally gives us the OG Taxi 12s next year ; or at least sooner rather than later.

[@heatcheckchuk7878]

The impressions were on point 👍🏿

[@BSoLaidBack]

I’m coppin tomorrow these are 🔥

[@affc68]

I kinda want these but I’ll probably wait and see if they go on sale. You guys are the best

[@jlgugo]

Great review as always Chris! This is an easy pass for me as an OG. Looking forward hopefully to a good quality OG Black/Red (Flu game) 12's. Would love a return of the Obsidian's too!

[@labronmadden]

great show love the edits

[@jaydeeventura3131]

Thinking about these

[@modee2213]

Love y’all! Thanks!1

[@punchy72]

Another banger of a video

[@DeezIlluminated]

🩸 Taxi. I like these. This could’ve easily been the OG. The red pops nicely against blue jeans. All the real ones gonna cop. On hood.

[@macayetano]

Another great overall video review!! Thank you to Chris and Jodi and very much appreciated as always. Not really a fan of the Air Jordan XII 12 for , IMHO, a bit bulky for me. But, dig the original colorways. Especially the playoff colors. Not feeling the "Taxi Flip" colorway. Would rather see a remastered, NOT reimagined, AJ 12 "Taxi" retro.

[@qhorton6743]

Been following Campea since AMC movie talk days 👍🏾

[@the_beevsknees]

Got these in at work and they are clean. I like when 12s have the white base but for $200+ I'll have to pass. Mainly because I'm getting ready to move, so dropping $200 on shoes isn't an option atm😅. But later on? If I could get these for a slight sale, or retail, I'd love to rock em! I do agree that the changes you would've made would actually take this up a notch. 😮‍💨

[@dre9900]

Chicago, Win Like ‘97 maybe but Taxi Flip name is definitely pushing it

[@hybridstryker233]

Bro this shoe is a easy skip 😂

[@hectorfigueroa2294]

Thank you

[@obel360]

Just wait for that price drop😉

[@TruthTALKA]

Not at all, I love the 12s and this colorway is great

[@johndigital9213]

When you said jordan with air and zoom I was like 17s lol good shoe product knowledge ❤

[@BoonMah]

That Barkley impression 👌🏼😂

[@davidwilder6506]

☀️🌈You guys are simply amazing. The detail in the show📺 is just perfect the small things from the spot on knowledge to the incredible editing🎬, Which are not so small at all. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts, stories, And work❤🌹🌹🥇🚌✨✨✨

[@therealakmal]

Love the name ideas Mrs Wing threw

[@mlracing101]

I bought mine for face value. Great looking shoe. Digging the silver lace gems.

[@Banurfa]

Don’t forget the Black Taxis from last year! Though they were not the taxis everyone was looking for, they were a great pair. Even though the Playoffs ( silver/grey side tab, both have red tongue hits) are not an exact reversal, I would call these the Reverse Playoffs.

[@Real-Ez]

I’ve only recently got me a couple of 12’s and man I love them, I wish they had more color ways, I feel like they have done the black and white a lot on these

[@sergiomartinez9264]

Dope 12s. Tshirts are 🔥🔥🔥

[@calvertwee8445]

Am glad I have the AJ 12 play offs.

[@leonardmartin5611]

Intill the bottoms and sides turn yellow and brown, but they do make a cleaner for that, tho

[@sideshowbob7782]

These so fire Jordan taxi was always my favorite shoe but I always said they could’ve took that little piece of gold out and made it red it’s more Jordan like and Chicago style and now they did it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shoebrowzer7137]

Looking forward to them 17s. These 12s would be cool for 160.

[@ChicagoVeteran]

JB is only trying to piss us off cause they know how bad we really want them Taxis. They just keep teasing us. 😜

[@jodimorgan624]

keep up the good job

[@MaxMilly_85]

i'll cop but im painting the red tab black

[@hectorfigueroa2294]

Bro, the Bloodline’s that drop next year are sick!!! I’m picking these red taxis up as well! Don’t care I like em

[@iuhoosiers14]

Saving so much money this year

[@prosperandgamble]

I would like to cop these. I lost out on the KD IV Weatherman’s

[@reggiebw11]

I need the reverse ones 😢

[@jerrysanchez5256]

Definitely agree. Sony

[@Dinerodreamss]

These are actually clean! .. wish they had a black sock liner & lower retail price

[@1vaughn3]

Go OG with these kinds of Js and make a lot of em not super limited. Og Cw are the best of course with OG materials.

[@ChaseVercetti]

definitely copping these .. had they dropped in 96/97 when the original 12’s had their run, everybody would be going crazy over these..

[@86wasdayr2]

These are the ones to copp, chicago 12 i see nthn wrng especially whn u look at the 13 it just fits the mold. Now I may not dive out the window day one, i may stalk thm for a bit see if they sit still long enough to get that DIZZY! Lol howevr they are nice.

[@dcmarvelunited5529]

That shirt would go well with the j balvin retro 3 sneaker.

[@manny8479]

The red hits on the shoe is nice. Red liner on the inside would have worked with a mixed red/black/white colored tab. ELIMINTATE the "Taxi" connection from this shoe altogether.

[@mikemorales8627]

Outlet bound 🤜🏾🤛🏾

[@CHamm7806]

I like it. Do the same thing with game royal and I just might buy it.

[@SBReviews33]

Probably will go to the mall and check these out

[@LawandaKravitz]

Bought the OG flu games in the summer of 1997. My first Jordans. I’ll buy these at the 40% hater discount.

[@ghostgetsbusy]

Out of your two favourite Jordan’s which one will u keep and the other burn?

[@lamontwaters510]

Bro the Barkley impersonation 😂

[@BOwD3R3K803]

I think they are fire!

[@Nbafanla03]

For $50

[@BOwD3R3K803]

​@Nbafanla03 Yeah $200 is high. I have some Jordan baseball jerseys that's gonna go crazy with these! A must cop for me.

[@kerryturner4616]

These are dope. I’m getting them. Hope everyone hates them so it will be an easy cop.

[@jamaalbrooks8688]

The Chicago Taxi

[@raymondmosby8080]

I painted tht red tab black on mine

[@therugbynoise2116]

What happened to the podcast is just only on podcast format and not on YT anymore just wondering I loved that format

[@Nohandle0000]

The red on the side killed it for me. If that was black, this shoe would’ve been 100x better.

[@phillipparedes6444]

Dark side Taxi's actually sound cool. 🤣🤣🤣

[@alexandrelaflamme373]

Now I need to find a tutorial on how to paint the red tab black🤔

[@elijahnhma]

These shoes remind me of the thriller music video. It looks like he would wear these as dance shoes

[@sonnymao9461]

I was just looking to see if this posted yet

[@haroldrodriguez3822]

There ok some same red laces swap look sick

[@richbro99]

Black cherry 12s

[@QrtuuQree]

TAXIVADER🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@allanskie3728]

How about doing an 'uber flip' version of these kicks..😅

[@NS-rp1wg]

“I accentuated the AS$” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@supremegmorris6975]

I'll wait till August for those 12's!!!! Sony needs a new boss.

[@aletsdelamora]

I got them today at nike snkrs!

[@flexchef1725]

Spiderman is wearing custom Yeezy pods...lol

[@00ABBITT00]

The Uber 12’s

[@ZEPLUS7]

I want the blacked out bloodlines coming next year

[@hunterlord101]

I snagged the Space Jams a couple weeks ago and im kind of interested in these as well, but unfortunately these shoes dont release here in Korea because the design reminds Koreans of the Imperial Japanese flag. Nike apparently stopped releasing the Jordan 12 in Korea in 2016 due to complaints.

[@YungShep1]

I got the reverse ones that dropped last yr. Black/gold. Underrated 12 in my opinion, but it was a must cop last yr. Easy pass on these

[@bayareacannonman]

Bullseye 12s

[@allgoodwoods219]

I’d love to run DC. I have some great ideas that get right to Justice League.

[@travisbrown3776]

5:43 burn😂

[@christopherramirez3896]

“Not the Taxis you were looking for” will not be beat! That one got me good 🤣. I don’t get how some shoes come back so often and others just gone for over 10 years since a release, and it’s a original colorway! 🤷🏻‍♂️ easy pass for me, and these will hit outlets.

[@MLomax-32123]

The Negaduck Taxis lol

[@agentdubski7760]

1st. I have been waiting for this Jordan 12 Review and I am reassured in my future purchase, not because your breakdown was perfect but because you called them "bad boys". Weird that the mudguard and upper is so thin, but OH WELL. Bad boys are Bad boys. I wonder if Nike and their stockholders ever could have foreseen their entire profit margin would be determined by whether or not you call a shoe "bad boys". 2nd. Raised on DC, so DC for me. 3rd. QOTD : What shoe would you waste a Genie's wish to have re-release and what shoe would you waste a Genie's wish to have NEVER release again?

[@bownds9885]

Reverse Playoffs would of been a much better name

[@SDPTheGhost]

I feel like a better name for these would’ve the “Red Eye” or something like that

[@Jrai0810]

“Darth Taxi” 😂😂😂

[@Hereathome7]

Waiting on the “he got shame” 13s
