Don’t be scared of this sneaker, even if you are downright scared about getting the flu. This is in now way related to the swine flu, or any other flu for that matter, but to Michael Jordan’s flu.

The Air Jordan XII (12) “Flu Game” sneaker is a play on the classic Air Jordan 12. It is a way of remembering how Michael Jordan got the flu and still played great against the Utah Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals.

The colorway of the Air Jordan XII (12) “Flu Game” are the same as the sneaker color worn by Jordan when he scored 38 points in that finals, even if he had the dreaded flu. But definitely, that was not as deadly as the Swine Flu.

What keeps the sneaker interesting, aside of course from the fact that it is a Jordan sneaker, is the red color just above the sole, and the sole itself. If you’re a die-hard Jordan fan then make sure you get the Flu, not the medically contagious one, but the Air Jordan XII (12) “Flu Game” sneaker.
