This weekend, on June 11, sporting historians and basketball purists can celebrate the anniversary of Michael Jordan‘s now legendary “Flu Game” performance with a special pop-up in the city where the magical events took place.
With flu-like symptoms that saw Jordan weary, weak and almost faint, he still put on a masterful 37-point performance in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz.
Jordan Brand will honor those events this Saturday at Fice Boutique, releasing a limited run of the yet-to-be released Air Jordan 12 Red/White retro. A restock of the “Flu Game” 12’s will also be on hand. See store location details below.
