The Air Jordan 12 ‘Flu Game’, one of the most celebrated silhouettes in sneaker history, is set to make a triumphant return this Saturday. Originally released in 1997, the sneaker gained legendary status after Michael Jordan wore it during Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz, where he scored 38 points despite suffering from flu-like symptoms. This iconic moment is forever etched in NBA lore, making the ‘Flu Game’ a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts and basketball fans alike. The upcoming release will feature the classic Black/Varsity Red colorway, synonymous with this memorable game, and is expected to be available in men’s and grade school sizing. Sneakerheads are advised to stay vigilant as stock may be limited, and demand is expected to be high. The price for the adult sizes will reportedly be set at $190, while the grade school sizes will retail for $140. Fans can expect these sneakers to drop at 10 AM EST at various retailers including Nike’s SNKRS app, Foot Locker, and Finish Line. As the date approaches, anticipation among collectors and fans is palpable. Many are looking forward to adding this indispensable piece of basketball history to their collections.
