The sneakers that were adored like no other pair before are finally here. The ultimate god wore them for the first time in 1996 offering his valuable signature to this 12th model of the serie. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, inspired by the "Rising Sun" of Japan.
The most memorable Air Jordan XII is the 'Flu Game' Black/Red colorway, which Michael wore during the 1997 NBA Finals while having the flu. For the history, it was the 5th game of the NBA Finals series ( Chicago Bulls VS Utah Jazz, 90-88 ), when GOAT finally made it and led Bulls to triumph. A victory that did not allow Malone and Co. to take the lead on the finals. Despite the fact that he was considered unavailable 2 hours before the game, MJ scored 38 points and amazed the globe (again).
The move to bolster one of the many fan-favorite Jordan retros with a new neoprene construction will prove to be a smart one given the worries of getting your retro Jumpman pick-up dirty in the rain and slush that comes with the months ahead. An overall on court luxury.
