Jordan 13 Retro Playoffs (2023)

Air Jordan 13 Retro Playoffs (2023) — 414571-062

The Air Jordan 13 "Playoffs" is one of the most storied colorways in the Air Jordan line. Originally released in 1998, Michael Jordan debuted the shoe on-court during the NBA All-Star Game, later wearing it en route to his sixth and final championship with the Chicago Bulls. The colorway was retroed for the first time in 2011, and for the AJ 13's 25th anniversary, it made a comeback in 2023.

Officially introduced in 1997, the Air Jordan 13 took design inspiration from a panther — a fitting choice, as MJ's closest friends nicknamed him "The Black Cat." The 2023 version is the most accurate retro to the original to date, designed with OG specs to be the truest AJ13 Retro yet. The Air Jordan 13 was also the first model from Jordan's legendary sneaker line to release under the newly formed Jordan Brand.

The colorway features a dotted black leather upper, black leather toe, and black suede mudguard, with a holographic panther-eye-inspired emblem on the lateral collar, classic Jumpman branding in red within a yellow embroidered circle on the tongue, "Jordan" detailing on the vamp, and white midsole walls completing the look. Cushioning is provided by a Phylon midsole with an encapsulated Zoom Air unit, while the rubber outsole — inspired by a panther paw — contains strategically placed pods to optimize traction and flexibility.
