The “Flu Game” sneakers, officially called “Air Jordan 12”. Inspiration for its design came not from the world of basketball, but from another continent, precisely – Asia. You can see the Japanese Rising Sun flag on it. The stitches on the side panels represented the sun’s rays. Thats why the name of ‘flu game’ was a reminder to Michael Jordan’s most iconic career games. In the 1997 NBA finals against Utah jazz Michael had caught cold with flu-like symptoms. Nevertheless, the legend managed  to help Chicago Bulls win the game. At the end, throwing into net an equivalent of 15 points, the last quarter of the play became a success. Michael himself gave his sneakers to Preston Truman, to auction them on eBay. The starting price for the shoes was 5000USD. After 15 bids, it went ridiculously high, and 104,765$ was the final price. Thus, it became a record breaking deal for any Air Jordans ever sold.
