Despite the minor hiccup in Jordan Brand’s Air Jordan XII Retro release schedule, many of us are still excited for the popular AJ model to hit retailers. In efforts to revive the retro card, JB will be including a brand new card with the AJXII ‘Flu Game’ model. The card gives Jordan’s 38 point game against the Utah Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals a visual identity comprised of symbols, the sick face representing his Airness playing through the symptoms of the flu. Set to release on the 27th of November (we hope), the sneaker features the same hieroglyphic message on its tongue.

At the end of last month, we provided an exclusive look at the Air Jordan 12 (XII) Flu Game, and we now have new images to share. As we mentioned in the original post, this pair has been nicknamed the “Flu Game Air Jordan 12″ because Michael Jordan had the flu in game 5 of the ‘97 NBA Finals and still managed to score 38 points against the Utah Jazz. Featuring a black nubuck upper with varsity red accents seen on the tongue, sole, and heel, this pair is very similar to the OG Black/Red Air Jordan 12. Other key aspects of this Air Jordan 12 include the year (97), points scored (38), and a sick face on the tongue and the rear of the sneaker. The Air Jordan 12 (XII) Flu Game is expected to release in November 2009.
