8.29.13 “This Day In Sneaker History” column highlights MJ's “Flu Game” performance. In 1997, a flu-ridden Michael Jordan scored 38 points and willed the Bulls to a victory while wearing the Air Jordan XII Black/Varsity Red. This shoe originally released in 1997, but it retroed in 2003 and 2009. The latter retro owned a few texture differences and featured various elements that connected with Jordan's memorable game. 8.29.13 i seen you hooping, i ain't think you had sk**s. we should play one on one, one of these days
