The Black/Red Air Jordan XII came to be nicknamed the “Flu Game” because MJ was sick during game 5 of the NBA Finals on June 11, 1997. Michael carried the Bulls to a 90-88 victory over the Jazz giving them a 3-2 series lead. After racking up 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, Jordan walked off the court leaning heavily on Scottie Pippen following his exhausting performance. The original Black/Red XII had a leather upper while the new revamped version is rich suede. The “Flu Game” logo on the heel and running up the tongue features the numbers 97 and 38 representing the year and points scored in that game. In between those numbers is a sick face emblem. Peep Steve Keer in the background of the picture, it looks like he was thinking "this guy is such a drama queen". These will be available the day after Thanksgiving (11/27) so you might have to wake up early from your turkey coma and head over to Foot Locker
