Jordan Brand brings back the Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” as part of their big Air Jordan 12 lineup that is set to retro at the end of May 2016.
One of the more iconic Air Jordan 12 releases is the “Flu Game” colorway, that Michael Jordan made famous when he wore them during Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz. His Airness put up 38-points all while suffering a flu-like symptoms.
The Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” was originally released back in 1997, then later retro’d in 2003, followed by another re-release in 2009. However, the 2009 pair didn’t meet ‘OG’ standards as they were built with a nubuck upper that included detailing on the heel as a nod to the year and points Michael Jordan scored that day.
As Jordan Brand is building on a big year for the Air Jordan 12, the “Flu Game” finally returns as a remastered version for 2016 and will release just like they did when they were OGs. The shoe features a tumbled leather Black upper with basketball textured Varsity Red mudguard and outsole.
