Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” Black/Red Retro – Holiday 2009 Release
Air Jordan 12 Black/Red
Yesterday we broke the news about the White/Red Air Jordan 12 returning Holiday 2009, and today we have more Air Jordan 12 news. The Black/Red Air Jordan 12 will also return Holiday 2009. However, Jordan Brand made a few changes. Instead of red leather, they will feature red suede. The new Black/Red Air Jordan 12 makeover pays tribute to Michael Jordan’s legendary “Flu Game”. MJ scored 38 points in the 1997 NBA Finals (Game 5) Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls. This is just one of the reasons why MJ is the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball.
As of right now the “Flu Game” Air Jordan 12 Black/Red is slated to release in November. We would also like to mention that the 12′s will come with a new feature which is symbolic of MJ’s sickness. The ticket price will be $150.
UPDATE: The BLACK will be suede, not the red. We apologize for the mix-up. Don’t have a cow man!!

Red suede? Not too sure, ’bout that.
I agree with juceocean, I like JB but what the funk is up with the suede. If suede gets wet its gets ruined and stained and obviously if you play ball them shoes is going to look nasty style. What happed to ballin’ in Jordans and them lookin’ pretty no matter what. Pass 4 me but defn gettin’ the white/reds. And damn G-Roc, I wish I knew what you knew homie.
once again i see great YEAR commin on to mee
!!!!!!…and i just pissed in my pants when i saw this!
^@23edge- cosign…very well said.
The BLACK will be suede, not the red. We apologize for the mix-up. Don’t have a cow man!!
These and the white/red joints are fire…but they need to drop the playoff 12′s…that would be to perfect
no suede please jb!!!!stop messing up all these retros
i will loose my job just to get these
OOH! the black is suede… still crap imo
Damn! I wish You would tell us sumthing bout the other releases G-Roc like the bordeaux, or the infrareds, or the famous 11′s or sumthing mane. And BoogieWilliams, that is just Stupid Greedy for you not to want JB to release these gems. Who Cares, just pimp ur shoegame and wear them. Who cares if you gotta closet full of em that just sit there and never get “play time”. You suck BW.
hey G jus realese tha news day by day so we can get excited
Yeahhhhh!!1 I already got the cream $$$ for those Black/Red 12 and the White/Red 12 from Dec!!!! This year is going to be HOT!!! I was going to be in Low mode cooping J’s (last years i coop almost all the CDP,XX3 and othersss)…
What?! The black is suede? Talk ’bout having a cow, now I’m having a cow. Lol
.
JB should just stop messing with suede.
YEAH! MANNN! White red and these are COPPED.
i cant wait to see how they’re gonna pull this one off. g roc, i envy you brotha, cuz if i had that type of info id be yellin it from the mountaintops!!
doesn’t matter which part is suede, white/red is still flyin high over these. ahhh cherry plz! lol
yessss im diggin these
I thought it might be black suede cause the red would just look weird and the blue joint’s had black suede too!
i rather have the black suede anyways
G ROC STOP TEASING MAN, POST THE HEAT I KNOW UR HIDING, and yo plz change the banner so i can click on it to go back to the main page, yo i miss that
I get what JB is trying to do by “reinventing” their shoes but when you got something like the bred 12s, a classic is a classic. no need to mess around and try to change it, but I’m glad to hear it’s black suede instead of red
“plz change the banner so i can click on it to go back to the main page, yo i miss that” -TCU
.
Lol, yeah.. You should definitely fix that.
12′s are not my thing but please tell me some 3, 4, or 6′s og are comming out…..PLEASE GROC!!
so basically theze 12′s are ganna look like tha Black White University Blue nubuck 12′s juz in black and red dats watz up i dont mind cuz them nubucks look chillin
im with hec, but if u can confirm a double 11 pack, that will make 09 for me, cause this years been garbage all around so far
Y is groc breaking the news so early? Y not tell us in October?
^Rich KiD – I’m sure the news would’ve leaked by then. Besides, people like knowing news like this early. TCU and AF1 G33K click the TheShoeGame.com – Sneakers & Information under the banner or Home on the side.
More info to come, so stay tuned guys…
Oh yeah, Christmas is going to be lovely.
“click the TheShoeGame.com – Sneakers & Information under the banner or Home on the side.” – G-Roc.
.
Oh lol, thanks. Didn’t know that was ‘clickable’.
hell yea thats dope i like that more than tha red suede
I can’t get into XII’s.
c’mon man! ima need some daily updates… u over here gettin everybody hype. stop holding out. this is officially my Home page now. lol
Man TSG is the ish! I can’t wait to see pics. What’s the deal with the Gatorade VI?
jb is always trying something new. sigh, i hope they did a good job. i heard they will have the year 1997 on them and a happy face or something. putting out the 2003 retro would do the job for me.
It’s all good AF1 G33K. Guys I get the info and leak it because I know how good it feels to know what’s dropping ahead of time. It’s always nice to start early planning and saving money because outside of sneakers…it’s this thing called life and it’s also expensive. That wouldn’t be any fun if I spilled all the beans at once, so do what you’ve been doing and stay tuned to TSG daily. How do ya’ll feel about a forum on TSG since the comments stay poppin?
^^^^I think a forum would be good, but i like to leave comments this way too. But, WHY DOES JB ALWAYS WANNA PUT BLACK SUEDE ON EVERYTHING?!?!?!? JUST KEEP THEM ORIGINAL!!!! I remember having these when I was in middle school. I had all the 12′s
a forum sounds good, but the comments is what makes TSG fun, IMO. I appreciate the heads up G, it helps havin almost half a year to stack, so keep doin what ya doin!!
black suede? ehhhhhhhhhhhh…
suede cleaner and protector isn’t cheap and it doesn’t last very long JB…

OMG….Pass….Me a tissue that is cuz I’m overwhelmed w/tears of sweet joy….
Ahh….the beauty of “cut & paste.”
I don’t know about Black suede. Maybe nubuck would look decent, but not suede.
G-Roc! when are you goin to be able to drop more news on the upcomin releases this year??
thanks dude
ohhhhh so black suede. i still don’t know why they just didn’t keep em og. a forum sounds good g, but i like leaving and reading the comments. i would like to thank you for giving us info like this in advance.
