The 2016 Jordan 12 Flu Game looks to the world of nature, where survival of the fittest rules, to introduce the Nike Running Jungle Pack, featuring designs rife with dense tropical motifs, highlighted by equatorial flora and fauna. There are insect wings, lush branches, and bright poison dart frogs, as well as the camouflage flash of a jaguar and phosphorescent-like blue finishing. The pack comprises a trio of Nike Running performance footwear styles for both men and women: the Nike LunarTempo 2, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 33 and the Nike Free RN. The shoes are complemented with a t-shirt for men, and a racer-back tank and hat for women.
This 2016 Jordan Shoes receives the traditional “Banned” aka “Bred” color scheme of Black and Red that’s built with a full premium leather upper and rests atop a clean White midsole and Red rubber outsole. Some of the notable features to this release includes ‘Nike Air’ branding on the tongue and will not include the ‘X’ detailing on the heel that was seen on the original “Banned” release from 2011.While Michael Jordan may have preferred adidas and even Converse while playing at the University of North Carolina, the Jumpman is honoring Mike’s time as a Tar Heel with this clean Air Jordan 2 Low “UNC”. The pair features a reptilian texture throughout the white base while a two-toned heel sports University Blue and Midnight Navy to match the contrast piping and iconic Wings logo on the tongue.
The 2016 Jordans - one of the most iconic and beloved of all the Air Jordan family - follows His Airness' lead by bringing a formal look to the court. This time, its signature patent leather - the first of its kind when it was initially released - dons a shiney blue effect that honors the original with a white midsole and thick, light brown gum rubber outsole. Tonal laces and an embroidered Jordan tag on the tongue round out the design.
