A tumbled “Sail” leather dresses the upper and the quilted overlays, immediately setting a vintage-style basketball aesthetic. Pine Green suede trims the midsole and runs toward the bottom of the shoe, midfoot to heel adding a verdant pop of color to an otherwise neutral sneaker. Black outlines the rubber outsole — complete with a Sail herringbone traction pattern — matching the black sockliner and branding incorporated throughout the shoe. For instance, the stitched-on tongue insignia lands in black, as does the Jumpman on the green insole and the Jordan tag at the bottom of the lacing system. The holographic “cat eye” at the shoe’s ankle glimmers in green as well.
The Air Jordan 13 is a study into Michael Jordan’s on-court persona. Tinker Hatfield designed this silhouette with cat-like details to hint at His Airness’s stealthy “Black Cat” moves. Not only does the shoe feature a cat eye on the lateral sides of the upper, its feline-like “paws” hug the edges of the outsole and midsole, adding prowess for any wearer on any surface. That, coupled with a solid traction pattern and Zoom Air cushioning made the sneaker a winning proposition for Jordan and generations of sneakerheads that came after. While he enjoyed a career filled with the highest of highs, Michael Jordan officially sported the Air Jordan 13 — which rolled out in 1997 — during his last season with the NBA.
Over the decades, the Air Jordan 13 and its retro counterparts moved into the everyday lifestyle realm, making the sneaker a solid shoe for even the littlest ones needing something sturdy, durable and stylish for all-day play. With its Pine Green, Sail and black color makeup, the Air Jordan 13 Retro “Court of Legends” or “Pine Green” sneakers will put a spring in any kid’s step.
