The Drop
The Jordan 12 Retro "Taxi" (TD) brings the iconic '96 silhouette down to toddler sizes, keeping the unmistakable black-and-white contrast that Michael Jordan wore during the 1996 NBA Finals. While full-size Taxi 12s are grails, toddler versions deliver that same clean aesthetic at playground scale. The 2025 retro keeps the tumbled leather upper and metallic eyelets faithful to Tinker Hatfield's original luxury-car-inspired design.
Resell Verdict
Currently moving around $67 on the secondary market, with asks ranging from $50 to $108. Toddler Jordans rarely explode in value unless it's a hyped collab, and with 63 weekly orders, the Taxi 12 TD shows steady rotation but no flip fireworks. These are stable movers for resellers targeting parents who want their kids laced in OG colorways—not a goldmine, but reliable turnover if you're buying below $60.
Fake Tells
- ▸Stitching around the mudguard should be tight and even; reps often have loose or wavy lines
- ▸Box label font on toddler sizes gets sloppy on fakes—check the SKU spacing and barcode clarity
- ▸Midsole texture should have crisp lizard-skin detail; budget reps look flat or blurry
Who It's For
Parents hunting grail aesthetics without the four-figure pain, and resellers flipping volume in the kids' bracket. Perfect for birthday fits or mini sneakerhead starter packs.
Sizing & Fit
Jordan 12s in toddler sizing typically run true to size, though some parents size up half for wiggle room and longer wear.
