Mike wore these in the '97 Finals, and they were given the nickname because of the Game 5 performance in which he dropped 38 while playing with the Flu.
Unfortunately Jordan Brand for whatever reason, decided to switch these up a little bit from the last time they came out.
I remember seeing images of these a few months back and thinking Why JB? Why ruin a classic by replacing leather with nubuck?
I love the OG black and red XII's, and while I do wish JB would have simply done an exact retro of the last release, these pics really surprised me.
Wow.
I just might be coppin.
The pics shown come courtesy of "Jordan23 4xl" of Niketalk.
Word is they drop on Black Friday, November 28th, so be on the lookout.
Btw, I could do without the little white logo on the tongue, but honestly that isn't enough to stop me from scoopin these up.
