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…

Everything is more defined on the 2013…the scales look crispy
Same shit for u suckers

The only difference is the price!!!
I have the ogs and theey look better
Well I wish it would go back to just 100 real talk they just shoes if you wear them they tare up just like the resr
Wtf is the difference
The difference is that the 2013 ones have 9 lace holes & 2008 has 8 lace holes & the that strap are different . !! Gotta now your jordans
08 way better. ..
& the 2013 black is different texture then ’08’s
the black for the 2013 has differnt material
the black on the 2013 has different material.
Everything that re-released in 2013 don’t look as good As the older pairs. Just got ’13 grape 5s and they don’t even have the purple 23 on the side. An no they aren’t fake got them right from flight club
Dif mat on the black …its smoother more suede like
2008 looks leathers an da 2013 looks swede
Big difference oh more money same sneaker
What the Fuck is the difference between them
Beautiful, I hope the hypebeasts don’t ruin it for the real fans.

Estan linda yo las tube…saludo ccoco mi hermano
2008 taxi 12’s are more way better than the 2013..
no fucking difference
2008 (y)
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.
2008 luks cleaner bolder more defined
Im done with Jordan might cop a few here n there but nah not really
No shit og quality is better and will always be better
I love Jordan’s
Either way they still JORDANS

Brizhay Patrick
’08>’13.
2008 were made better. 2013 looks like a cheap version.
Sh
tan culeros Dx
The difference is the fine details…
Da same shoe shoe.. how can u judge when just da only difference is da stitching!!!
Looks similar
The leather may be cheaper tho but whatever sane shiz
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
same
08’s don’t have details like the 12’s if you look you dumb fucks
This goes to show that he can put out the same shit and yall will buy it
Look about the same but I would have them….
they made da same damn 35 cent shoe and prolly tried to sell it for a hell of alot higher den before.Dats Sad
Either way Jordan getting richer!
its the same shoe ..
Jordan’s not the same anymore,only want old school j ‘s that Jordan actually wore in his games. Don’t want Jordan’s that some one else be wearing.
O yea,they look the same,
Both suck
have those exact pair
Ion See Shyt Different Bt Im Still Buying Them Cuz I Neva Had Dem
What’s different
&&& what’s the difference ???
