Yooo what is going on YouTube this is AD604 back again with another sneaker review.
And in today's review we are going to cover a pair of sneakers thats extremely..uhm I
wanna say classic, but I also want to say memorable to both the uhm basketball career,
basketball history of Michael Jordan and the sneaker culture in general.
And that is the Flu Game Air Jordan 12 which I have in my hand right now.
By now Im pretty sure most of you guys are pretty familiar with the back story behind
the Flu Game Air Jordan 12, but in case some of you guys didnt know, the Flu Game Air Jordan
12 got its name from the game that was uhm...I believe it was the uh game 5 of the 1997 NBA
Finals. It was Utah Jazz against Chicago Bulls. So
the little story behind that game was prior to the game, hours, maybe half day prior to
the game uhm Michael Jordan got really really sick.
He got food poisoned by i dont know something that he ate in Utah I dont know..
But the point is, he got food poisoned. Just imagine a real sick and weak Michael Jordan.
However the thing is at that time, Game 5 was split between two wins for Utah and and
two wins for Chicago. Which means that if Michael Jordan did not
play game 5, Utah Jazz will have a great chance to achieving a 3-2 dominating lead over the
Chicago Bulls. And highly increase their chance of winning
the championship that year. So what Michael Jordan did was that he insisted
on playing the game, with the flu of course, however despite the fact he was really really
sick Michael Jordan still managed to drop 38 pts,7 rebs, 3 stls, and 5 assists through
that game with the flu and he collapsed into Scottie Pippen's arm right after the game
was over. Chicago won, it was 3-2 in Chicago's favor.
That is the little story behind the Flu Game Air Jordan 12.
And that little back story guys is exactly what makes this pair shoe in this colorway
such a memorable and classic shoe. The quality of the 2016 retro of the Flu Game
I would say its pretty good. You know, its not like I have ever had the previous versions
of the Flu Game. This is my first pair of Flu Games and honestly I like the quality
on this shoe. Yes the shoe is pretty expensive at 255 in
Canada and 190 in the United States, it is a pretty expensive shoe but the craftsmanship
is okay. You know its Jordan Brand's mass produced product I cant say anything.
I would say 7 or you know 8 out of 10. However the quality of the Material on this
shoe I would definetly give a 9 or 8 out of 10.
Overall, I am very very happy with the uh quality and craftsmenship on the shoe.
THere is some glue here and there, you know its none of the big issues but other than
that there really isnt much to review about this shoe. I can only say that I like the
quality and the colorway. Im cool with the price and overall this is
a sick, and nice ass pair of sneakers for me and it is a very very meaningful sneaker
because it definetly stands behind Jordan's you know that never quit mentality.
Yes he did have the Flu but still he managed to play and drop 38pts in these. Carried the
Chicago Bulls over the Utah Jazz into a 3-2 demanding lead.
You know that is such an inspirational spirit that we can all learn from.
There is always things that is going to stop us in life.
But the lesson here is that you must get back up from whatever difficulty, whatever uh hardship
you are going through and have the mentality, have the spirit, have the believe, confidence
in yourself to overcome those burdens and achieve greatness.
Thats exactly why I really love these Jordans. Overall, great sneaker. I love this colorway.
Love the sneaker. Love the 12s in general and I hope you guys really enjoyed this video.
