Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game”
Posted by Nick Engvall | Jul 29, 2009 Yesterday we showed you the first look at the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game, inspired by Michael’s incredible performance in the 1997 NBA Finals.
The Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” colorway seems to be popular, but a lot of you are not feeling the “creative” attributes. The change from leather to nubuck also seems to have many of questioning the decision. These detailed photos should give you a better idea on whether or not the material change, and “Flu Game” features are for you. You can pick them up at MarqueeSole for $300.

Oct 18, 2009 at 11:51 am
There alright, any real collector should think the same! I’m defenetily gonna get them for the collection, but they should of kept it leather.
Sep 21, 2009 at 1:15 am
I GOTTA GET THESE,,THEY TOO FRESH
Sep 15, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Sick sick SICK!!!! I can’t hardly wait. Actually, I’m feeling the little sick fae on them… It gives them a special edition feel rather than just another re-retro. I copped the black/blue colorway and I’m in love with them. These and the Jordan 11’s will complete my J purchases for the fall/winter. I might even buy two just to hoop in one pair.. lol…
Sep 14, 2009 at 5:05 pm

Jul 30, 2009 at 9:56 am
I think I like original leather better too..nothing beats the original. nubuck….i dunno.. still hot though.
Jul 30, 2009 at 1:03 am
Nubuck VS Leather for the AJ12’s? Not sure which.
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:48 pm
I’d prefer the original leather on the 12’s, but the nubuck could work
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:46 pm
A must for the closet
Jul 29, 2009 at 9:19 pm
can’t beat OG NEVER NEVER LOL LOL : 0
Jul 29, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I love these new 12s
Jul 29, 2009 at 8:30 pm
STUPID N****Z dez is a def cop not only because they are retro 12’s, change of material, and but jus cause Jordan dominated the game in dez shoes even in his worst hour !!!!
Jul 29, 2009 at 8:15 pm
I got these for sale on eBay and I’ve never worn them size 11 so holla
Jul 29, 2009 at 7:37 pm
OMG I LOVE THESE!!!! WEN DO THESE RELEASE?!?!?!? A MUST-HAVE
Jul 29, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Childish??? Jajajajajajaja theres nothing childish about 12’s did yall see diz sneaker??? 12’s go HARD they dont look childish even if u put Dora the explorer or steve from blues clues on those moohphokez…
LOL!!!!!
Im gettin diz 4 sho… university blue is not my color… rising sun looks really crapy…so diz are the only pair of 12’s ill get!
Jul 29, 2009 at 6:48 pm
the suede doesnt look that bad like i thought it was though,looks like a good winter shoe i guess,with the suede and all,i wonder if the retro 6,s black/infrared/fire red will have a good suede/nubuck material,its really bad though,knowing how it should really be,like back in the day,i guess i have to take what jordan is going to give me.
Jul 29, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Da pix definitely bring da shoe out more
However, I agree wit louking83, although da pix r nice, ima have2c da final product b4 considerin not payin my car note 4dese lol
Jul 29, 2009 at 6:43 pm
well,i apologize my sneakerheads about yesterday,they do look a hell alot better than those pics from yesterday,,do anybody know the general release date,and is it a general release/or limited,and how much will they be when there released,cause im not paying over 200hundred dollars online for these,just one pair for me,maybe i would if it was leather instead of suede/nubucks.
Jul 29, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Im str8 ..2 many reproductions..pay homage but dont break the mold
Jul 29, 2009 at 6:06 pm
not feelin the nubuck but will copp
Jul 29, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Those are nice.
Jul 29, 2009 at 5:38 pm
YESSS!!!
Jul 29, 2009 at 4:53 pm
i sold all my 12’s cause i though these were going to be fire i was all set to cop 3 pair!!! i should stab jb with a rusty butter knife the suede makes this shoe garbage it was perfect already now they look like fried ass!! if the red and whites look like this i will hire a hit man to take jb out
Jul 29, 2009 at 4:28 pm
These Are lame.. they should of just dropped the O.G’s or do somthing other than just changing the Material and adding icons. if this was in a double pack with the O.G’s it woulda been sick cause side by side they have some type of substance to them. but hey…. I guess Nikes just gettin cheap on us. \=
Jul 29, 2009 at 4:18 pm
better than the blue ones that came out earlier along with the 5dmp still thinking about these the smiley gave it a good touch but still jb brand has been cutting down quality in coming retros and it really makes you question in wiether your money should be spen on retros or saved for ogs and earlier retros
Jul 29, 2009 at 3:49 pm
oh god my 2 favorite colors…must cop!
Jul 29, 2009 at 3:37 pm
remindd me of OG playoff red/blk 12s a cop for me
Jul 29, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Damn this shoe is weak az hell jus stop it
Jul 29, 2009 at 3:30 pm
One word, “0Superior”
Jul 29, 2009 at 3:23 pm
i was hoping i didnt have to cop des i have mine from 97’s dead stock but des have a twist so i have to get again
Jul 29, 2009 at 2:52 pm

Jul 29, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Man I love these shoes
Jul 29, 2009 at 2:47 pm
I so dig the nubuck

Jul 29, 2009 at 2:26 pm
the nubuck looks ok but those details make it a pass for me
Jul 29, 2009 at 2:13 pm
o and i have my ogs
Jul 29, 2009 at 2:12 pm
300.00 lmfao you could still get ogs cheaper than 200.00 and the nubuck sucks
hells no to these
Jul 29, 2009 at 2:07 pm
150 coppin
Jul 29, 2009 at 1:47 pm
i like them but which one crease worse the nubuck or leather ?
Jul 29, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Ugly ass shoes maybe a bozo would wear them clown shoes the red rubber around them are wack
Jul 29, 2009 at 1:35 pm
you can even call these “flu games” cuz they aint leather…the nubuck aint bad but whats wit the lil face and stats…not feelin em at all…looks kiddyish to me….
Jul 29, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Have any of u bought any sneakers from marquee sole?12 are tight just don’t like the face
Jul 29, 2009 at 1:09 pm
AN EASY PASS…. DAMN THESE ARE GOING TO SIT IN FOOT LOCKERS FOR MONTHS JUST LIKE THE CAROLINA NUBUCKS THAT CAME OUT IN MAY ARE STILL IN STORES COLLECTING DUST WHICH NUBUCKS ARE GOOD AT DOING… LEATHER IS BETTER!
BLACK FRIDAY=SPACE JAMS!!! <<>>
Jul 29, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Look like mc Donald shoes
Jul 29, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Something just ain’t right about these…can’t put my finger on it.
Jul 29, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Garbage x6
Jul 29, 2009 at 12:33 pm
NDP shudnt have waited for it
but suede looks better here than leather
Jul 29, 2009 at 12:23 pm
A picture really is worth a 1000 words I’m so getting these and dare I say it these might be better than the og’s
Jul 29, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Glad to see the Nubuck on these!
Jul 29, 2009 at 12:15 pm
krispy
Jul 29, 2009 at 12:12 pm
damn, i rlly like these more than the OGs
a deff cop, just in time for my Bday, and the space jams too
GREAT timing jb
Jul 29, 2009 at 12:09 pm
I love them!
Jul 29, 2009 at 12:09 pm
so……is JB planning on using real leather again when the make sneakers?
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:59 am
ok first I was looking forward to these releasing but now ive changed my mind. Personally it is not the nubuck cause it looks nice to me but my problem is the 97 38 and the drawing, it makes is look childish. But on the other hand I understand where jordan maybe coming from cause this would be the third release of them, and they do not just want to keep releasing the same shoe over and over but personally it is a miss, cause if they had brought out the originals I think it would have sold out.
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:58 am
All that B.S. these flip flopers writing, ” what difference a picture makes” Man, whatever! Its the same phuckin’ shoe to me, in all the pics! Ya’ll don’t know what nubuck is huh? U need multiple angles? Git tha phuck outta here!!!!!! The shoe honors the game Mike played when he had the FLU. Its a must copp off that STRENGTH alone! No matter what the material! Do ya’ll think……Mike didn’t OK this shyit.
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:57 am
Idk about these…….i like the other material way better tho.8′(
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:54 am
i said i was gonna wait for more pics!!! THIS IS ENOUGH RIGHT HERE>>>FIRE!!!! the one from yeaterday looked like some bad materials!!! COPPED!!!
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:44 am
Can anyone please tell me where I can go get my hands on the JORDAN 3 TRUE BLUE SZ 12??? I looked at marqueesole, titolo, and RMK And nothing…. PLEASE YALL I NEED HELP!!!
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:41 am
Garbage!
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:36 am
The shoe looks a little better now to me thanks to the picture quality. I’m still disappointed about the drastic changes made to this classic CW. I was really looking forward to this release. Now, I might as well wait for the White/Red to drop later this year. Hopefully no more changes will be made.
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:22 am
Though I like these, it would have been nice to see the OG leather upper instead of nubuck. The small details on the shoe are nice though.
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:20 am
These just look like really bad gs’
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:19 am
STILL SNATCHED UP!!! Just like those black/university blue nubuck 12’s. I gots to have all of the 12’s this year accept for the rising suns. Not my big cup of Kool-aide.
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:18 am
ahh these r sicc…ii would def cop
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:16 am
I agree with KB24.
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:16 am
Why do they keep making ugly jordans.
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:13 am
I actuallY think the nubuck makes it’s look better
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:03 am
not feelin nubuck on these…love the originals tho
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:01 am
let people think these are ugly that just increases the chances of knocking them off
Jul 29, 2009 at 11:00 am
Definately snaggin these!!!
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:52 am
These cocksuckers r about 2 cry b/c of the nubuck on the shoe. Pull ur skirts back down & get over it. If ur that offended just don’t buy the shoe
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:45 am
Ok, it’s $275.00 on Osneaker… not $200.00…. my bad.
It’s still cheaper… damn Marquessole…
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:40 am
They look better than ever I know I’m gonna be up early that day
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:39 am
Any way u look at it it’s still an ugly shoe
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:37 am
copped since I didn’t pick-up da ‘03 Retros.
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:34 am
Feet 1st
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:05 am
it’s amazing how much a good picture can do for a sneaker
Def the true the pics can make or brake a shoe im def goin to cop these
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:32 am
Osneaker think has them for $200.00!!!
The leather would have been better, these are terrible!!! Nubuck on these 12s…? Come on JB, you just messed up another classic… the date and the points were cool tributes to MJ, but the smiley sick face, it looks like a kid’s shoes… that is just me!!!
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:17 am
them joints 2 hard. stupid if u think ugly
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:16 am
The kicks r nice but damm. What shoe r they gonna release next the “TOOK A DUMP AT HALFTIME” shoe. JB needs to stop the fronts and just give us our retros with new colorways and just call it that!!
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:16 am
Dope shoe can’t wait to snag these
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:13 am
$300! come on! Give me a break ! $200 Maybe.
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:11 am
I think these should do well because of the detailed “flu game” design additions…
I hope to pick these up…but its a no go with the small sizes available.
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:07 am
lfmao….in da time you said wait for it you got 2nd lolz
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:07 am
These pics make the shoe look even sicker but I gotta save my money for “Space Jams” I just paid $265 for my “True Blues” so I’m straight for NOW!
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:05 am
it’s amazing how much a good picture can do for a sneaker
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:00 am
Be honest the more i look at these, the more they grow on me. Now NOT as much as i prefer the OG, but if u look at these from a stand point of a “Themed Shoe”…They’re pretty dope
Jul 29, 2009 at 10:00 am
The shoes would’ve been much better with suede. will have to see final product in person to decide if I’ll cop.
Jul 29, 2009 at 9:59 am
like them better than the ogs, no crinkley leather just a nice smooth nubuck.
Jul 29, 2009 at 9:57 am
Garbage..
Jul 29, 2009 at 9:55 am
Off da chain!!!!!!
Jul 29, 2009 at 9:55 am
