Show words by Steve Jaconetta One of the last models worn on-court by Michael Jordan during his final season with the Chicago Bulls, today we take a look at the lineage of the Air Jordan 13. Originally released in 1997, the Air Jordan 13 dropped in seven colorways, five highs and two lows. They were also featured in Spike Lee's He Got Game on the feet of Denzel Washington's character, which inspired the 2013 "Black Toe" retro's nickname. As Jordan led the Bulls to a 70-12 record during his final season in Chicago, he would bow out a champion, winning his sixth NBA title and capping off a second 3-peat. The first retro run began in late 2004 and ran until summer 2005. High and low-tops for men and women were released, totaling 12 different pairs, including the limited "Altitude Green" colorway. Next up was the 13's inclusion in the 2008 Collezione "Countdown" Pack, alongside the "Shadow" Air Jordan 10 Retro. Two years later, the second retro run consisted of six colorways, including the "Bin23" Premio release, the first retro of the original "Playoffs" colorway and a commemorative PE for Ray Allen breaking the all-time three-point record. Additional runs took place in 2011 and 2014, the latter highlighted by the original "Grey Toe" sample. This year, the Air Jordan 13 is back again, ten years after their first retro. Three colorways released, including a "Quai54" edition, exclusive to Europe. In addition, Jordan Brand would release two Chris Paul "PE" editions from his time with the Hornets and a "Doernbecher" pair. Take a look at the history of the Air Jordan 13, from its first release up to the most recent retro, below.
