The 2025 edition of the AJ 12 Retro “Flu Game” revives one of the most legendary sneakers in basketball history — the pair Michael AJfamously wore during Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals.
Its crinkled black leather upper is detailed with signature radiating stitching, contrasted by textured reptile-inspired overlays. Jumpman branding appears on the tongue and heel tab, maintaining the shoe’s unmistakable identity.
Underfoot, a lightweight Phylon midsole houses full-length Zoom Air cushioning for responsive comfort, while the semi-translucent red rubber outsole features herringbone traction pods and an exposed carbon fiber plate for stability and control. A timeless symbol of endurance, legacy, and greatness.
