AIR JORDAN 13
The Air Jordan 13 was released in 1997-98 which was the last season that Jordan played for the Bulls.
While wearing the Air Jordan 13¡äs Jordan broke Karemm Abdul-Jabbar¡¯s NBA record by scoring double-digits for the 788th consecutive game. Jordan also led the bulls to the franchise¡¯s sixth NBA Championship Title. Jordan took home his sixth ring along with his sixth Final MVP honor.
Panther Paws
Tinker Hatfield was the mastermind behind the genius design of the Air Jordan 13. The Air Jordan 13 is regarded as the best designed Jordan shoe by a large percentage of Jordan sneaker fans. The Air Jordan 13 was the first and only Jordan shoes to feature a hologram. The outsole received inspiration from the paws of a Panther. Jordan¡¯s nickname on the court from fellow NBA players was ¡°Black Cat¡± for his fast reflexes and speed down the court.
Spread of Fakes
The Air Jordan 13 was the first Jordan shoe to be made in China rather than Taiwan and was copied to no end. There was a large number of fake Jordan 13¡äs that hit the streets in every ugly color combination imaginable.
More Retros?!
The Retro Jordan 13¡äs were welcomed and sold quite well. Jordan released only 2 colorways before Christmas including the ever so famous Black/Red Jordan 13 December 22nd. In 2005, Jordan released 10 more colorways which many saw as ridiculous. Low cuts were never a fan of Jordan collectors, and Jordan released 6 colorways in the low cut.
The Air Jordan 13 will be making a return in 2008. Check out the Air Jordan Release Dates. More info on Air Jordan 13, Air Jordan XIII.
