The taxi color way on the Air jordan xii really stands out. I'm glad to own a brand new original pair from 1996. Good luck to those that want a pair.

I figured this would be a "calendar fill in" shoe when I noticed the release date, however, after looking at all the detailed pics, I can see these will hold their own very well.
I'm a low top shoe fan, but I seriously always disliked the Taxi lows. Besides the CDP, we finally get a stand alone true retro of these.
Only thing missing would be the metal lace loop holes, but we can talk about OG vs. Retro all day, still not going to bring back the good old days.

My Sentimental Attachment seems to be outweighing my Dislike for the Decline in Quality/Materials... so these look like they MAY be a Copp, depending on how I feel the week of release.
Black/Red AJ I's are the Priority, but I wouldn't mind getting both.

That leather is looking really really nice. Way better than the shiny leather on the Playoffs and Obsidians

Are looking at the same pics or is my MacBook retina display making this quality look on point for a recent retro. Looks like they used the same leather from the laneys

Just saw asked an eBay seller who had some taxis already if eyelets were METAL* or plastic, he said plastic. Doesn't make sense why CopKickz said they were metal. 
Probably will cop 2 instead of 3 now.

You know that gold is a color and plastic is a material, right?^

If were technically speaking, gold is an element and plastic is a polymer

Talking about the use of gold on these shoes, obviously.
Use context clues, chief. Do you (or anyone, for that matter) think that Nike would even consider using gold (the element) on these?

It was clearly a joke and your slight smart comment at the dude above you was unnecessary. You knew what he meant but had to be a smart *** about it.
And no, they wouldnt use gold, the element on the shoes because its impossible. Gold is too soft. That why you need to mix it into something called an alloy.
Is that a good enough answer for you, chief?

You fellas are sensitive.dude didnt even use a lol so u know he was tryin be the teacher on his sentence but seriously @geraldg2309how can you ever think of making mistakes in this IQ busting forum?
His question didn't make any kind of sense..."are they gold or plastic?"...of course they're not gold. They can be gold colored plastic, or even gold colored metal that isn't actually gold...but asking if they're gold or plastic is kind of a loaded question, don't you think?

Man I loved/hated that class. It gets tough visualizing the saddles and all the shapes and stuff but it's pretty straight forwards
