Air Jordan 12 Retro Low “Taxi”
February 6, 2011
7-years after it’s initial release, the Air Jordan 12 Retro Low “Taxi” is slated to return to retailers for a second go around. While we’ve seen a re-release of the full-grown Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” before, this will be the first time the low-cut edition will be reissued since it’s hay-day back in ’04. For the most part the sneakers are an exact duplicate of the original. The only difference between those and these is the “Jordan” branding on the heel spine is now black, whereas on the 2004 version it was Taxi yellow. A minor detail change which sure won’t stop these from becoming another hot retro release from Jordan Brand. No release details are available at this time, but TheCoolShoeShine is taking pre-orders on them now for $200 a pop.

After 45 years in the game, the Wallabee remains to be the most sough after model in the Clarks catalog of footwear. And when a brand such as Stussy steps in to co-brand a pair things just get lovelier for this timeless classic. As part of their 30th Anniversary celebrations, Stussy teamed up with Clarks on the iconic Wallabee, dressing the shoes in a mix of black leather and ballistic nylon with the standard crepe sole we’ve all come to love from the Wallabee.
