The Air Jordan 12 Retro “Flu Game” Is Back and Sicker than Ever

The Air Jordan 12 "Flu Game" is arguably the most iconic sneaker in basketball history. The colorway cemented its legacy during Game 5 of the NBA Finals in 1997, when Michael Jordan, suffering from flu-like symptoms, led the Chicago Bulls to an unforgettable victory over the Utah Jazz. Despite his illness, MJ put up 38 points, showcasing his unshakable will and determination. 

This latest version of the Air Jordan 12 Retro "Flu Game" stays true to the original design that you know and love. The sleek black leather upper, coupled with the “Varsity Red” accents, makes a bold statement on and off the court. The classic Jumpman logo featured on the tongue adds an extra layer of nostalgia for longtime fans of the brand.

One of the key design highlights of this retro release is the premium leather upper that provides both durability and comfort. This iteration also retains the famous carbon fiber shank plate, ensuring superior support and stability while maintaining its iconic look.

This March 1st release is special not only for its historical significance but also for its inclusivity. The Air Jordan 12 Retro "Flu Game" will be available in full-family sizing, meaning kids, women, and men alike will be able to experience the magic of this legendary sneaker.
