Nike Air Jordan 12 Retro “Flu Game”
With the recent release of the the Rising Sun edition, fans of the 12th installment of the Air Jordan series have a lot to be excited about. The “Flu Game” edition of the Air Jordan XII received its nickname because Michael Jordan was wearing them when he scored 38 points against the Utah Jazz in the 1997 playoffs, despite the fact that he was playing with a bad case of the flu. To commemorate the performance, this Retro version of the Flu Game Air Jordan 12 will feature the year “97″ and his scoring total “38″ as well as a cartoon sick face placed between the laces on the tongue.
There is no retro card came along with the shoes as they were all collected back by Nike due to the introduction about Air Jordan 12 taking inspiration from “Rising Sun”. The Flu Game edition is now available at our online store.

I bought these back when they first came out for $240, I wore them 4 times and never again… The soles on the outside of the shoe (the bottom) were so stiff and hard it was very hard to move laterally for a slashing guard like myself. The shoe would be fine for a Center however, someone who just runs up and down the court and doesnt move sideways much. Still love the design of the shoe though

[...] The Air Jordan 12 (XII) Black/Red now titled “Flu Game” has gotten it’s name from Michael Jordan, as he played against the Jazz in 1997 and put up 38 points while he had the flu. The sneaker contains a dominant black upper, along with dark red which is found on the sole and mid-sole. Also found on these kicks are the numbers 97, the year Jordan played against Jazz, and 38, which is the amount of points he scored against them. Overall another Jordan Brand sneaker which will most likely sell out. Available now at Kix-Files. [...]
