Michael Jordan's 'Flu Game' sneakers auctioned for $1.38 million Posted Jun 21, 2023 Despite subsequent revelations from Michael Jordan's trainer and "The Last Dance" documentary that he wasn't actually ailed by the flu in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals -- "The Food Poisoning Game" doesn't quite pack the same wallop -- the sneakers that Jordan wore on that night have sold for $1.38 million with collectibles marketplace Goldin.
