I love them. The Taxi’s have been my fav colorway for quite a while and I think the gold sets them off even more. Ironically, I was wanting them to eventually make that plate gold and they actually did it. After I throw the white strings on, I have nothing negative to say about them.
Super excited about these! I copped an early pair from GOAT that are arriving today. I’ve been waiting for the Taxi’s for a long time, but I love these as well. Def putting the white strings in though. 🔥🔥🔥
@@carlosm1893 they’re legit. Only thing that sucked is it looked like someone had worn them before. They were creased already and had a couple other signs I caught. Hopefully, my pair was one of the only bad apples out of the bunch that people got/will get. I’ve bought several pairs of Jordans from GOAT before, but this was my first time ever having this experience with them. I pray it’s the last. They were authentic though. It just sucks they came in that condition. I disputed the charge and got my money back. I’ll probably just wait and go buy them at the mall Nov. 13th.
I got exclusive access on these today. Glad you brought up the laces, my dad told me the 2-toned lace swap on the 12s was the style back then lol. He got me my first pair of Js back in 97 when I was like 2 which were the flu games and swapped them for the black laces with the red spots. Classic childhood photo
My dad got me these when I was younger but at the time I wasn’t really appreciative of it nor cared about it since I was kid ofc. But I was given early access by snkrs and couldn’t pass up. Not a huge fan of the 12’s but this color way I mess with. And the nostalgia is another reason for me to cop also. Cant wait for these to come in
Just want to say that look forward to seeing your videos. I am constantly waiting for the new video to drop. Your chemistry with each other is so refreshing.
Nailed it Chris. I immediately thought of Defining Moments Packs and immediately made me want to cop. Hope to grab for retail cause I ain't paying resell
Loving the vids bro! You and wifey compliment each other, too. Enjoy hearing your sneaker knowledge and the background you provide on the OG sneaks in comparison to the new releases. Well done 👌👏
White laces all the way!! DMP popped in to my head for sure. They did this with those Chinese New Year’s a few years ago they were so close to taxis but not. They know people will buy them because they are so close to looking like the taxis.
These joints Bang, just as good as taxi's to me. I'm not a fan of red so I don't miss the red at all. The gold pop's and the yes to the black strings. Ohh and quilted that's what's up.
I was about to buy cop these (Philippines) over the weekend, but yeah that yellow tag (whatever) looks kinda tacky. I'll wait for the next Jordan 3 release. Btw, been following your channel for years. Just realized this is the first time I commented 😂 Keep up the awesome work, brotha!
I still got my 2013 taxi 12s in crisp condition...i might do what ms wing said and rock them for the holidays. U don't gotta worry about the mud guard getting too dirty like playoff 12s
I know videos might be difficult with a cold, but could you possibly do a side by side comparison video between those and the taxis. I love the taxis and I like these but I don’t know if I should just wait for a taxi release. Thank you
i think the best liner for j's imo is the 18's (almost velvet like) as well as the 23's, Jordan 1's dave white etc where they have a stiched like material.
I am REALLY excited for these, I love the combination of white, black and a lil bit of gold. I've been wearing some air max 270s with that color scheme for the better bit of 3 years so these are gonna replace them. I am MAD excited
With them being called royalty’s I would have expected full on premium materials all round . If your gonna add gold on a shoe make sure it looks super dope and not like kids toy gold
Ive been buying most of the stuff you view lately luv your take on kickz keep up the great you two all your points is what i be thinking about these new school kicks ive been a jordan head since 1985 my collection is pretty good
Feel better soon cuzzo.... these aint bad imho I miss the yellow but I h8te red so I dont miss that the gold iz aiight to me.... long live the queen lol I dig these alot 12z most comfy to me prolly my fav jz 3z 6z 7z 10z 11z 12z 13z
bruh we real 1z wanted to see that taxi release, especially since JB confirmed the playoff 12 release in spring, both shoes haven’t released since roughly 2012
Manage to cop this one out in Malaysia.. and freaking loving it since its my first 12 and the gold piece look clean to me really comfortable im probably glad that i pick it half size up ince my 5 and 6 really dig on my pinkie toe
Hi Chris! My Air Jordan 12 Royalty has a weird noise when I move my ankle. I just take off laces, then the noise is gone. In my experience, the faux leather tongue causes the noise when it frictions with laces. Do you have the same noise problem? I will refund it if it is not normal. Thank you for this great TH-cam channel
I pre ordered these I really like the gold tab They gave me a date of December within the first 3 weeks 😫 Would’ve loved to have them before TG but I’m grateful for the opportunity to get them through they’re $100 over retail you won’t find these in a retail store anyway.
@@goodintentions2989 There’s ways of getting them now but I imagine the price would be much more expensive and some are shady places to do business with. They drop November 13 but that day might come and most places will be sold out or maybe Jack up the price. Pre order guarantees you get yours in your size
Since my lil sis doesn’t care about specific og color ways and stories behind the shoes just “oh those r cool” these are going to be her x-mas gift. As for me I was iffy on these but Chris saying the quality is meh will make me pass on these til the og’s or nubucks come out again lol
Speaking of "Hella Fire", are you ever gonna talk about you're new lifestyle sneaker from the Hex collection at We Are Underdogs? My pair came in a week ago and I think they turned out pretty good.
Can't wait to spend $400 on these from resellers so I can chuck airballs with style.
Hell yea, Ima layup mad touchdowns from the 3 point goal in these air Gordans. I got em from this kid for $600…what a sucker🤪🤪
They low key flopped they like 250 on stock Xs
That’s some real ish right there! 💯🤣
@@JuanRamirez-sb5jw facts got mines on flight club for about 273$
Got mine for 190
Hey Guys! Time to check out the upcoming Air Jordan 12 in the Royalty colorway. Let us know what you think of them down below. Thanks for watching!
Do they come with white shoestrings also?
@@bulldawgjones2612 they do!

Release date? Thanks for another great video!
I will cop once it hits canada🙏
These look amazing with the white laces
These the kicks I been waiting for ALL DAMN YEAR!!!!!
These were the first pair of Jordans I ever bought and I’ve loved them ever since…Definitely coppin’!❤️💯
Nostalgia
Same
Super excited about these! I copped an early pair from GOAT that are arriving today. I’ve been waiting for the Taxi’s for a long time, but I love these as well. Def putting the white strings in though. 🔥🔥🔥
Bought a dope sweater just to wear with them
How’d they look, i did the same thing last week waiting on mine. Felt kinda iffy about ordering early pairs.

@@zachsimmons382 Why does it matter if you are gonna wear them anyway?
@@FELIPE8226M Because when you buy something new you expect it to look new.
Queen of England timing was on point!!! Chris, I also like the bottoms ;) I thought DMP for sure. You guys are awesome, keep on grinding.

Copped!
First time to win in Jordan Manila's draw! I love them!
I'm copping these for my birthday. Great review as always Chris! Hope you get over that cold soon.
Happy Early Birthday! 🎈🎊🎉

When is your birthday mines 11/28

Only the real 1’s remember the lace swaps! Bring back the 90’s!
Just want to say that look forward to seeing your videos. I am constantly waiting for the new video to drop. Your chemistry with each other is so refreshing.
So on point with the shoe strings back in the day!!!
I love the gold on these absolutely beautiful shoe can’t wait to copp hopefully 🙏
I’m liking the gold jump man on the side. Gives it an oomph.. white laces. That’s how I’d rock them
These are pretty clean, love the gold hints 👌 Hope you get better brotha
Brought back memories with the laces with the dots in them
Can't wait for the Since drop! Great shoes...my favorite 12s colorway.
Chris Having a “Flu Game” video!! Get it?!... Because he has a cold? And they’re 12’s?! 😂😂🔥
Definitely would love to get a pair of these. I dig all the gold accents 👌🏿👌🏿
Yeah the gold hitting idk what he talking bout lol
I actually like the Gold accents. At first I didn't
if u still want them hit me up I caught a dub this morning
Nailed it Chris. I immediately thought of Defining Moments Packs and immediately made me want to cop. Hope to grab for retail cause I ain't paying resell
Thank you so much for putting in the white laces. First review I'v seen where they changed to the white laces.
I love the content. Thank you for the informations. Continue to surprise the public. I love you guys. You are number 1.
Loving the vids bro! You and wifey compliment each other, too. Enjoy hearing your sneaker knowledge and the background you provide on the OG sneaks in comparison to the new releases. Well done 👌👏
The DMP title and dog tag would definitely make these hit better. Dope video as always 🙌🏾
Bro you are the king of that background tv skits you always show... no one does it better lol
under-rated ma and pa channel. weartesters for life!!!!
I remember 2013 camping out for the taxi 12s it was cold and raining that night 😂😂😂 I still have my pair one of the best retros ever
This is a definite cop. Closest we’ll get to the taxi’s until they release them again
These are clean but can’t decide if I should get these or wait for Jordan 12 in February
I agree. They would be much better if that gold jumpman wasn’t there. For that reason, I’ll pass.
White laces all the way!! DMP popped in to my head for sure. They did this with those Chinese New Year’s a few years ago they were so close to taxis but not. They know people will buy them because they are so close to looking like the taxis.
Seeing this makes me wanna rebuild my collection
Still prefer the Playoffs colorway over this and the Taxi.
By far my favorite Jordan to play in. I love them to wear casual as well
13s for me Chris for playing. Upper is more forgiving🙏
I grabbed the 12 Utility last week, they look so dope with black jeans.
I love AJ 12. It's the best looking shoes among all Jordans.
Air Jordan 4s have entered the chat
@@legionofgod6691 yep both the greatest I love my black kings and zaddy’s wearing them
Since hoodie season starts soon. Insert gif of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite saying "Yes!"
Ordered mine yesterday. I personally think they look better than the taxi's with the white laces instead of the black.
I've got mine coming on October 21st!
Did you purchase from the same eBay seller as nightwing? Know anything about the seller ? Legit ? I want to buy them too
Hit on these on SNKRS yesterday! They shipped yesterday as well!
they did us the same last year with the indigo, super close to the og obsidian but not quite the same, now these and the taxis.
Great review as always, Chris! Think I’ll be grabbing these.
Bro Mrs. Nightwing is the truth with those cut screens man👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉🎉🎉
"Fake Taxi" 😂😂
Thanks for the review Chris! Fan from the Philippines 🇵🇭
another informative video. Feel better Chris
When you were explaining the herringbone traction, my first thought went to DMP with the subtle differences between concord and DMP 11 vs these and 🚕
These are pretty much DMP taxi 12s, and as a person who doesn't own taxi 12s, these will do quite nicely
I almost fell for the taxi 12 look this time, these look GOOD
Love you guys, pray you get better big bro
The gold thread in the liner would’ve been made this shoe 🔥
Prefer them without gold but I’m not complaining just a opinion there sick anyways thank you weartesters
Awesome review as always. Stay safe guys!
🏃💨 glad you feel better Chris 🙌
These joints Bang, just as good as taxi's to me. I'm not a fan of red so I don't miss the red at all. The gold pop's and the yes to the black strings. Ohh and quilted that's what's up.

Probably most bad ass looking sneakers ever made
I still got my 2013 taxi 12s in crisp condition...i might do what ms wing said and rock them for the holidays. U don't gotta worry about the mud guard getting too dirty like playoff 12s
Damn. Those white laces makes it more clean. Taxi is my top Jordan 12 colorway, but I'm cool with this. Better than nothing.
I know videos might be difficult with a cold, but could you possibly do a side by side comparison video between those and the taxis. I love the taxis and I like these but I don’t know if I should just wait for a taxi release. Thank you
i think the best liner for j's imo is the 18's (almost velvet like) as well as the 23's, Jordan 1's dave white etc where they have a stiched like material.
Love the black Nd red ones to I remember haveing them when I was a kid allso the black and blue I think
I am REALLY excited for these, I love the combination of white, black and a lil bit of gold. I've been wearing some air max 270s with that color scheme for the better bit of 3 years so these are gonna replace them. I am MAD excited
Looks sick with the white laces
My basketbal beaters are the 2017 chinese new year 12, 12s are just the best ball sneaker, agreed
You know what's so crazy the PS and TD sizes don't have the Gold on the side... But I do like the Gold
With them being called royalty’s I would have expected full on premium materials all round .
If your gonna add gold on a shoe make sure it looks super dope and not like kids toy gold
People said the same shit about the royalty 4s 4 years ago🤣
Just won the in store raffle on Hibbett city gear in Houston TX 🤘🔥
These are not bad! OG vibes. Btw your voice is different today Chris. Get well 💪🏼💪🏼
I like the J 13’s better then the J 12’s. But those look really good. Apart of me feel that the white laces gives it more pop. Great review as always.
Ive been buying most of the stuff you view lately luv your take on kickz keep up the great you two all your points is what i be thinking about these new school kicks ive been a jordan head since 1985 my collection is pretty good
SNKR UK just dropped these today and I managed to cop
Im right there with you on the gold on this shoe. Its almost the perfect shoe besides that gold. I will go for these at retail price, not resell
I usually I don't like Jordans that look similar but not the same as an OG but I actually like these.
Yeah they shouldve did the quilting in gold to really set it apart from the taxi's
The Michigan 5s have a quilted liner, actually it’s the main reason I got them, I wasn’t going to get these but now I’m reconsidering 🤔
was waiting to see this
I like the way you open that box mate..😀😀🤙
These are a must cop!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
12`s are always a must have
Love these! The gold piece on the side I don’t like it but again it’s overall a taxi retro and a must cop for sure ✅
Feel better soon cuzzo.... these aint bad imho I miss the yellow but I h8te red so I dont miss that the gold iz aiight to me.... long live the queen lol I dig these alot 12z most comfy to me prolly my fav jz 3z 6z 7z 10z 11z 12z 13z
Fire review 🔥🔥🔥 also how do I buy that hoodie ???
bruh we real 1z wanted to see that taxi release, especially since JB confirmed the playoff 12 release in spring, both shoes haven’t released since roughly 2012
I have these. I like these way better than taxis. Don’t like the red hit on them
got mine, waiting for delivery!
