Despite experiencing symptoms similar to the flu, Michael Jordan valiantly played in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, which has since become iconic as the 'Flu Game'. Despite feeling unwell, Jordan managed to score an impressive 38 points, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 3-2 series advantage against the Utah Jazz. During the game, Jordan sported a pair of black and red Jordan 12s, which have consequently been dubbed the 'Flu Game' edition. This particular version for preschoolers showcases a slight variance from the original design, as it incorporates a nubuck upper instead of the traditional leather material.
