air-jordan-xii-12-taxi-2008-2013-comparison-1

 

Not too long ago we featured a Air Jordan VI (6) “Infrared” 2010 vs. 2014 comparison, whereas now it’s time to check out the difference  (if any) between the 2008 and 2014 Air Jordan XII (12) “Taxi”.

As we look closely at the Air Jordan XII (12) from the memorable 2008 Air Jordan “11/12” Countdown Pack, are there any differences that stick out to you? Could it be the leather quality? Smooth vs. tumbled? Eyelet color differences? Branding? You name it…

Let us know what you come across in the comments below and keep it locked right here at Sneaker Files for more on this drop.

  107. You say the texture differs… idc if u put that shoe in a vaccuume. 5 years is gonna create a sllliiiightly dif. Look to the tones. Its the same dam shoe. Anybody droppin 1000 bucks on “exclusive” sneakers like some sbs that look generic as fuck need to know. Nobody looks twice. Your god dam retarded.

  125. If you seen all the up close pics of both shoes you would see that the 2013s are better made… More detail to the shoe than the 08s.. Just look at bumps on the black leather of the 2013s they stand out more than on the 08s… Maybe people are saying they don’t like the so others won’t get them. But I doubt if that works. 1 thing I was Wondering tho is do they come with gold lace tips like they use to…. I think these were the ones that had those
