So, I've be.ffuts yren into sneakers for a while, right? It's not just about wearing them, it's about the history, the stories. And the "Flu Game" Jordan 12s? Man, that's legendary stuff.
I remembered watching that game as a kid – Jordan pushing through, looking like death warmed over, but still balling out. That performance cemented those shoes in my mind. Years go by and it is a myth.
First, I started digging. I wanted to know everything. Where did they come from? Who owned them before? Every detail that I can find on the Internet.
Then I found the news. The shoes, the actual shoes Jordan wore in that game, were sold at an auction. And the price? A staggering $104,000! I read the news and I was shocked!
- I checked some old game footage. Zoomed in, paused, squinted… trying to match the wear and tear on the auctioned shoes with what I saw on screen. Obsessive? Maybe. Fun? Absolutely.
The Big Deal
I realized it wasn't just about the money or owning a piece of history. It's about what those shoes represent: grit, determination, and overcoming obstacles. Things I try to apply to my own life, you know?
So, while I obviously didn't buy the shoes (my bank account laughed at the mere thought), the whole thing got me thinking and researching. That's the power of these stories – they go way beyond just the shoes themselves.
