Nineteen years ago, Michael Jordan battled through flu-like symptoms to torch the Utah Jazz for 38 points and lead the Chicago Bulls to a 90-88 win in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

To celebrate the iconic moment in Jordan's career, Jordan Brand opened a pop-up shop at Fice Gallery in Salt Lake City on Saturday afternoon. The shop came stocked with products like the Air Jordan XII Retro "Black/Varsity Red" and a pre-release of the new Air Jordan XII "Gym Red," and featured local artists, food, performances, and a rebroadcast of the 1997 game.
