Air Jordan 13 ‘True Red’

An original Air Jordan 13 colorway worn by Michael Jordan himself came back to stores in March 2026, making its first return since a 2017 release that itself followed years of absence. The True Red AJ13 carries serious weight for collectors given its on-court heritage during Jordan’s final championship run with the Bulls.

White, black, and red blocking on the AJ13’s distinctive holographic eye and cat-inspired traction pattern made the True Red one of the most historically grounded retros of the spring. Few Jordan releases come with this kind of authenticated game-worn backstory.

The Air Jordan 13 True Red retailed at $215 and released March 13, 2026 through Nike SNKRS and Jordan Brand retailers for the first time in nearly a decade.
