Pre-owned Men's 12 Retro Flu Game (2009) Sneakers In Black/varsity Red

The Men's Jordan 12 Retro Flu Game (2009) Sneakers in Black/Varsity Red is a bold black and varsity red colorway from the Jordan 12 Retro line that was released to commemorate the original 1997 silhouette and colorway. There is a reason that this colorway is called Flu Game. It references game number five from the 1997 NBA Finals, where Michael Jordan played even though it was announced that he was sick with the flu. The pair of shoes he wore were Jordan 12s and sported a red and black colorway. This Jordan 12 Retro features a black tumbled leather upper and varsity red on the mudguard. Its mid-top design provides maximum flexibility and movement. Despite its history as a popular and sought-after colorway, StockX experts feel that the back heel also sets this shoe apart. The heel counter features Jordan’s number 23, which leads into an extended heel tab and tag with embroidered JORDAN wording and a black Jumpman in a red square. Released on November 27, 2009, the Men's Jordan 12 Retro Flu Game (2009) Sneakers in Black/Varsity Red retailed for $150.
