**[City, State] -** Nike is set to release a new colorway of the iconic Air Jordan 12, paying homage to Michael Jordan’s legendary “Flu Game” performance. The “Barons” colorway, releasing September 28, 2024, features a black tumbled leather upper with “Wolf Grey” accents, a nod to Jordan’s time playing for the Birmingham Barons.
The “Flu Game” remains one of the most inspiring moments in sports history. In 1997, during Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz, a visibly ill Jordan battled through food poisoning to score 38 points and lead the Chicago Bulls to victory. The game, which solidified the Bulls’ series lead, cemented Jordan’s reputation as an unstoppable force and a true champion.
The Air Jordan 12 “Barons” carries the spirit of resilience and determination that Jordan displayed during his iconic career. The shoe features subtle details like Air Jordan branding on the sole, a Jumpman logo on the tongue, and contrasting metal eyelets.
With a retail price of $200 USD, the Air Jordan 12 “Barons” will be available for purchase through Nike.com and select retailers.
