What our experts love about this preschool-sizing sneaker is its material and colorway. The upper material, mudguard detailing, and color combination add a subtle touch of style to the design.

Made for little kids, the Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘Black Taxi’ brings an elemental two-tone finish to Tinker Hatfield’s 1996 design. A one-note black finish is executed on the nubuck upper, embellished with radiating stitched lines and fortified with tonal lizard-textured overlays. The monochromatic theme is broken up by contrasting Taxi yellow accents, which make their way to the Jumpman tongue logo, Jordan-branded heel tab, and molded eyelets. Additional Jumpman branding decorates the outsole, featuring herringbone traction pods under the forefoot and heel.
