Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Reverse Flu Game' – CT8013-602
The legend, flipped. The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Reverse Flu Game' (CT8013-602) takes the iconic colorway from one of the most legendary moments in NBA Finals history — MJ's historic 38-point performance in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, played through illness — and inverts it, replacing the original Black and Red with a bold Red and Black reversal that gives the most storied AJ12 colorway a fresh, collector-driven new identity. This is the Flu Game reimagined for a new generation.
Why You'll Love Them
- 'Reverse Flu Game' Red and Black Colorway – The bold Red leather upper with Black overlays, Black lace aglets, and contrasting Black outsole inverts the original 1997 'Flu Game' Black and Red colorway in the most visually striking and collector-exciting way possible — delivering a shoe that carries all the historical weight and cultural significance of the original Flu Game AJ12 in a reversed color arrangement that feels simultaneously fresh, bold, and deeply connected to one of the greatest individual performances in NBA Finals history.
- Iconic Air Jordan 12 Retro Silhouette – The legendary 1996 AJ12 design — featuring the distinctive quilted leather upper inspired by the Rising Sun flag, the unique lace shroud system, the solid rubber outsole with herringbone traction pattern, and the premium leather paneling — is the silhouette on which Michael Jordan delivered his iconic Flu Game performance, making the 'Reverse Flu Game' one of the most historically resonant and collector-significant colorway concepts Jordan Brand has ever applied to the AJ12 platform.
- Premium Retro Construction – The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Reverse Flu Game' is built with the premium construction quality that defines a top-tier Jordan Brand retro — with high-quality leather paneling, authentic quilted upper detailing, refined stitching, premium materials throughout, and build standards that deliver the authentic AJ12 experience in every detail, making this one of the most wearable and collectible AJ12 colorways available to serious Jordan Brand collectors.
- Quilted Leather Upper – The Air Jordan 12's signature quilted leather upper — one of the most distinctive and design-forward construction details in the entire Air Jordan catalog, inspired by the Rising Sun flag and samurai culture — gives the 'Reverse Flu Game' Red colorway a rich, textured visual depth that elevates the bold Red and Black color combination into one of the most visually commanding and premium-looking AJ12 colorways ever produced.
- Air-Sole Cushioning – The Air Jordan 12's Air-Sole unit in the heel delivers the responsive cushioning comfort that made the original 1996 AJ12 one of MJ's most performance-capable championship-era shoes — combining Jordan Brand's legendary performance heritage with the practical everyday wearability that makes the 'Reverse Flu Game' as comfortable on the street as it is iconic in any serious Air Jordan collection.
