Jordan 12 Retro Flu Game (2025)

The Air Jordan 12 Retro, introduced in 1996, has long anchored sneaker culture with its armour‑like silhouette and the rising‑sun stitching that evokes Michael Jordan’s championship era, and the Flu Game 2025 colourway revisits the most storied performance of his career. This iteration cloaks the classic tumbled‑leather upper in deep black while the varsity‑red mudguard, heel tab and Jumpman branding echo the uniform that saw Jordan battle flu‑like symptoms to score 38 points in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals. Retaining the original Zoom Air unit and carbon‑fiber‑styled shank, the shoe also benefits from a reinforced rubber outsole and subtle speckled‑leather overlay on the toe for added durability and texture. Its appeal lies in the seamless blend of historical significance and striking contrast, making the Flu Game 12 a coveted piece for collectors who value both narrative depth and timeless design. SKU CT8013‑002 retails for $210 and launched on 1 March 2025.
