Jordan Brand is all about the classics. Since their current retro line began in 1999, many colorways have been re-released multiple times. For example, the Air Jordan 3 Retro Black Cement, returning in November 2024, was seen previously in 2001, 2008, 2011, and 2018. For Spring 2025, Jordan Brand is bringing back a few classics, such as the Air Jordan 5 Retro OG Reimagined Black Metallic and the Air Jordan 9 Retro Cool Grey. Another coveted pair is set to join them, the Air Jordan 12 Retro Flu Game.
After initial reports that the Air Jordan 12 Retro Flu Game would be released as part of JB's Spring 2025 lineup, Sole Retriever confirmed that an all-new black and red-based Heritage Twist colorway of the AJ 12 was set to drop, not the coveted OG Flu Game. This pair comes in black and varsity red, drawing inspiration from the Air Jordan 12 Retro Concord, released in 2020.
