We're counting down the days.

In 1997, during Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Michael Jordan solidified the legacy of the Air Jordan 12 "Flu Game." Battling flu-like symptoms, he led the Chicago Bulls to a crucial victory over the Utah Jazz, making the shoes he wore an enduring symbol of perseverance and greatness. The upcoming version of the "Flu Game" Air Jordan 12 stays true to the original design, featuring an updated shape that closely mirrors the classic pair. Official photos have been released, showcasing the sneaker's details and confirming its return.
