The Air Jordan 12 "Flu Game" May Be Returning in 2025, the classic and timeless silhouette releases in 1997, this was last seen in 2016. We're not even a third of the way into 2024, but Jordan Brand's 2025 lineup is already making waves. The "Flu Game" edition of Michael Jordan's 12th signature sneaker is a black-and-red colorway famously worn by MJ during his legendary 38-point performance against the Utah Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals, despite battling flu-like symptoms. This sneaker originally dropped in 1997 and was last retroed in 2016.
