This shoe, you know, they call it Reverse Taxi Jordan 12. I heard folks say it’s a good one. It’s black and white, like them old checker cabs but turned around like. I reckon it’s somethin’ special, you see, they make a big fuss about it. Ain’t like the shoes we had back in the day. These young’uns and their fancy shoes.
They say this one, this Jordan 12 Reverse Taxi, came out in 2019. October, I think. Time flies, don’t it? Back then, everything was simpler. You just wore what you had, didn’t matter the color or the name. Now, it’s all about these Jordans. My grandkid, he’s always going on about them. Says this one is special, a “classic” he calls it. All I see is a black shoe, but what do I know?
This Reverse Taxi thing, it’s the opposite, you see. The regular one, the “Taxi,” that’s white and black. But this one, they switched it around. Black where the white used to be, and white where the black was. Makes no sense to me, but the young folks seem to like it. They say it’s a “fresh look.” Fresh look, huh? Back in my day, fresh meant clean, not turned upside down!
- This Jordan 12 Reverse Taxi got some gold on it too.
- Just a little bit, up on the top where you tie the laces.
- Shines real bright, like a gold tooth.
- Maybe that’s why they like it so much.
- Got that bling, you know.
They say this shoe, this Reverse Taxi Jordan 12, is based on another one. The regular “Taxi” one, I reckon. Came out a long time ago, back in ’96. Before some of these kids were even born! That was a year, I tell ya. Things were different then. Simpler times. But even back then, they had these fancy Jordans. Just not as many, I guess.
Some fella named Tinker designed these shoes. Tinker Hatfield, that’s the name. Heard my grandkid talkin’ about him. Seems like he’s a big deal in the shoe world. I don’t know much about designin’ shoes. Just know you need somethin’ sturdy on your feet. Especially when you’re workin’ all day. These new shoes, they look fancy, but are they tough? That’s what I wanna know.
This Jordan 12 Reverse Taxi, it got a black top, they call it “nubuck.” Sounds strange, don’t it? Like some kind of animal. Nubuck. It’s just the top part of the shoe, made of some kind of material, they say. Looks soft, but I wonder if it lasts. These kids, they pay good money for these shoes. Better last more than a season, that’s for sure.
And they say it’s popular, this Reverse Taxi Jordan 12. People linin’ up to buy it. Can you believe that? For a pair of shoes! Back in my day, we lined up for bread, not shoes. Times have changed, that’s for sure. These kids and their shoes. It’s a whole different world now.
Some places, they sell these shoes for a lot of money. Over $500! For shoes! That’s more than I made in a month back when I was working in the field. Crazy, ain’t it? But these young folks, they save up their money, just to buy these Jordan 12 Reverse Taxi shoes. They say it’s worth it. I guess it’s their money, they can spend it how they want.
This one here, the Reverse Taxi, it’s all black and white. Except for that little bit of gold, like I said. They say it’s a “stylish take” on the old one. Stylish, huh? Back in my day, stylish meant you had a clean dress and your hair was combed. Now it’s all about these shoes. These Reverse Taxi Jordan 12 shoes. They sure are somethin’, I guess.
Well, that’s all I know about this Reverse Taxi Jordan 12. My grandkid told me about it. He’s always talking about shoes. This one, that one, it’s hard to keep up. But this one, he said is special. A “must-have”, he calls it. I don’t know about all that. But if it makes him happy, I guess that’s all that matters. These kids and their shoes. It’s a mystery to me, but hey, to each their own, right? As long as they’re happy, that’s what counts.
These shoes now, they got all kinds of names. Jordan 12 Reverse Taxi, Jordan this, Jordan that. It’s all about that Jordan name, I reckon. He must have been a heck of a basketball player. My grandkid, he’s got posters of him all over his room. Flyin’ through the air, dunkin’ that ball. Must have been somethin’ to see.
Nowadays, everything’s got a brand, a name. Back then, we didn’t have all these brands. Just shoes. Now it’s Jordan 12 Reverse Taxi, and a whole lot of other names I can’t even pronounce. It’s a different world, that’s for sure. But as long as these kids are happy with their fancy shoes, I guess that’s all that matters. Just hope they don’t forget the value of a hard day’s work. And that a good pair of shoes should last you a while, not just a season. Those are the real important things.
