The Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘Flu Game’ is a celebrated sneaker that pays homage to one of Michael Jordan’s most legendary performances. During Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, despite battling severe flu-like symptoms, Jordan delivered an outstanding 38-point game, leading the Chicago Bulls to a crucial victory over the Utah Jazz. The black and red Air Jordan 12s he wore during that game have since become iconic, symbolizing resilience and excellence.
Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the ‘Flu Game’ 12s feature a distinctive black tumbled leather upper paired with varsity red accents on the mudguard and outsole.
