The Air Jordan 12 “Royalty” follows the 1997’s “Taxi” model release - by featuring the same white leather upper and faux-lizard textured mudguard and gold-tone hardware. In this version, the golden eyelets by the ankle stay the same as the original, yet Jordan Brand swaps out the mid-foot piece to a matching gilded plate for further touch on the “Royalty” moniker. The sneaker is completed by a black rubber sole for comfort.
