Why the Jordan 13 "True Red" Is a Certified Classic
Inspired by a majestic panther, the AJ 13 is irresistibly awesome. Holographic details, quilted leather and supple red suede make for an athletic and opulent look.
The “Chicago” colorway honors Michael Jordan’s time on the Chicago Bulls, in particular his final championship season in 1998. Additionally, the colorway feels like a callback to the black and red Jordans that were banned from the court in 1985 and shaped the trajectory of sneaker culture.
With the vibrant red suede on the bottom and back of the shoe and the crisp, bright white on the top of the upper, this colorway has a polished, powerful appeal. Don't confuse it with the AJ 11 “True Red,” which is just as fierce but not at all the same shoe. The AJ 13 has a more modern, sleek shape and style, while the AJ 11 brings that classic sporty energy. Both are certified classics, but only one is coming on March 13.
