Air Jordan 12 Retro — 'Flu Game' (2025)
The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Flu Game' (2025) (CT8013-002) brings back the exact colorway Michael Jordan wore during the legendary Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals — one of the most iconic moments in sneaker and basketball history. A black tumbled leather upper is adorned with stitch lines and contrasted by red lizard-textured overlays, delivering the premium, distinctive look that defines the AJ12 silhouette. The Jumpman emblem appears on both the tongue and heel tab.
Underfoot, a lightweight Phylon midsole packs a full-length Zoom Air unit for a plush, responsive feel. The red rubber outsole uses black herringbone pods for traction and an exposed carbon fiber shank plate for midfoot stability — a complete build that honors the original game-worn design.
