Once again instead of granting the wishes of their, at times frustrated fanbase, and running the ”Taxis”back in their correct form, they continue to drop shoes that are tantalizing close to the aforementioned colourway. Which brings us to the upcoming “25 Years in China ” 12 Low. As we have implied, it is very visually similar to the…
