These Air Jordan XII Retro's were a part of the Jordan XI/XII Collezione (Countdown) Package. This was the final Countdown Pack released. Known as the "Taxi's," this was the first time this original colorway had been retroed in true form. When this colorway hit in 2004, it was retroed as a low for the first time ever. So now that these have released many people consider this the first retro of the "Taxi's" and dismiss the 2004 Retro Low.
