Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Flu Game' (2025)

The Greatest Game Ever Played. The Shoe That Was There.

The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Flu Game' (2025) commemorates one of the most legendary moments in sports history — Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, when Michael Jordan, battling a severe illness, delivered a 38-point masterpiece that will never be forgotten. The shoe he wore that night was the AJ12 in black and red. In 2025, it returns with the same fire.

Worn Sick. Won Anyway.

The Flu Game is more than a sneaker — it's proof of what's possible when will overcomes circumstance. MJ was sick enough to barely stand, and he went out and dropped 38 points on the Utah Jazz in the Finals. The black and varsity red AJ12 was on his feet the entire time, and since that night, this colorway has carried the weight of that performance wherever it goes.

How to Style It

Black and red is one of the most powerful color combinations in sneaker history, and the Flu Game AJ12 owns it completely. Go all-black to let the red accents command attention, pair it with red and black tonal fits for a bold statement look, or contrast it with white and grey for a sharp, clean outfit. However you wear it, you're wearing a piece of history.

Sick or not, MJ showed up. So did this shoe.
