Air Jordan 12 Flu Game Release Date, Images

2016 marks yet another release of the infamous “Flu Game” Air Jordan 12s. Worn during MJ’s 38-point performance to lead the Chicago Bulls to a Game 5 victory against the Utah Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals, despite suffering from “flu-like symptoms” (believed to be food poisoning), it’s quite easy to understand the popularity of this colorway.

Unlike its suede-covered 2009 release, this version is as true to the sneaker’s 1997 release as possible, sporting a combination of black full-grain leather and Varsity Red pebbled leather. Red graphics and matte black eyelets have been applied, along with matching laces.

The Air Jordan 12 Flu Game is scheduled to release on Saturday, May 28. Expect the sneaker to retail for $190.
