The story the shoe carries is one of the most documented and most replayed moments in basketball history: \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003eJune 11, 1997\u003c\/span\u003e. Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Bulls and the Jazz tied at 2-2. Michael Jordan, severely ill from what was initially reported as the flu and later believed to be food poisoning from a pizza delivered the night before, took the court in Salt Lake City when most people expected him to sit. He played \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003e44 minutes — more than any other player in the game\u003c\/span\u003e — and delivered \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003e38 points, 3 steals, and 5 assists\u003c\/span\u003e in a 90-88 Bulls victory that put Chicago up 3-2. The Bulls won the series in six. The shoe on his feet that night became one of the most mythologized objects in sports history, and its colorway — \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003eblack tumbled leather and Varsity Red\u003c\/span\u003e — became impossible to separate from the performance it was worn during. The 2025 retro also carries a behind-the-scenes story of its own: Jordan Brand originally planned a \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003e\"Heritage Twist\" variant\u003c\/span\u003e to replace the OG release, and the collector community's unified backlash against that plan was significant enough that Jordan Brand reversed course entirely and committed to the straight OG-faithful execution the shoe deserved.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 2025 build is confirmed as \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003ethe most OG-faithful \"Flu Game\" retro since the original 1997 pair\u003c\/span\u003e — correcting construction details that prior retros accumulated over four release cycles. The \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003epremium black tumbled leather upper\u003c\/span\u003e returns with the dense, textured surface quality that defines the AJ12's material identity, with \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003esignature rising-sun inspired stitch lines\u003c\/span\u003e running across every panel — the stitching pattern \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003eTinker Hatfield\u003c\/span\u003e based on the Japanese Rising Sun flag aesthetic that informed the silhouette's entire design language. The \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003eVarsity Red lizard-textured mudguard\u003c\/span\u003e wraps the lower profile with the scale-patterned reptilian overlay that has always been the colorway's most distinctive material detail — the texture adding dimension to the red panels that a smooth leather would never achieve. A \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003eJumpman emblem on the tongue and heel tab\u003c\/span\u003e carries the identity branding, while the \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003esemi-translucent red rubber outsole with black herringbone traction pods\u003c\/span\u003e and an \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003eexposed carbon fiber shank plate\u003c\/span\u003e complete a sole unit that delivers performance credentials and the colorway's signature underfoot red in one continuous structure. The \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003efull-length Zoom Air cushioning unit\u003c\/span\u003e within a \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003elightweight Phylon midsole\u003c\/span\u003e provides the responsive underfoot feel that made the AJ12 a legitimate performance basketball shoe in its original era. \u003cspan class=\"kw\"\u003eOG-style packaging\u003c\/span\u003e closes the presentation with the same archival respect Jordan Brand brought to the construction.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Air Jordan","offers":[{"title":"10.5 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788649590,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10.5 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118154870,"sku":"151186-002-25-105","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788682358,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118187638,"sku":"151186-002-25-11","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.5 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788715126,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.5 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118220406,"sku":"151186-002-25-115","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788747894,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118253174,"sku":"151186-002-25-12","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12.5 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788780662,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12.5 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118285942,"sku":"151186-002-25-125","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788813430,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118318710,"sku":"151186-002-25-13","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13.5 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788846198,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13.5 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118351478,"sku":"151186-002-25-135","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788878966,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118384246,"sku":"151186-002-25-1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1.5 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788911734,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1.5 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118417014,"sku":"151186-002-25-15","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788944502,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118449782,"sku":"151186-002-25-2","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2.5 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889788977270,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2.5 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118482550,"sku":"151186-002-25-25","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ BEST PRICE","offer_id":43889789010038,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ SWIFT SHIP","offer_id":43849118515318,"sku":"151186-002-25-3","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5459\/3142\/files\/pixelcut-export_1_49d72d25-90e8-4492-a372-c30415ed884d.png?v=1784786081","url":"https:\/\/footninjas.com\/products\/ps-air-jordan-12-retro-flu-game-bred-2025-151186-002-25","provider":"FOOT NINJAS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
