The 2020 edition of the Air Jordan 13 Retro GS ‘Flint’ brings back an OG colorway of the classic silhouette first released in 1998. This grade-school pair features a build that’s true to the original, highlighted by reflective detailing on the blue textile overlay that dominates the upper. Jumpman branding in University Blue is embroidered atop the tongue, while the signature holographic ‘cat eye’ adorns the lateral collar.
On December 30th, 1997, Jordan broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's NBA record, by scoring in double-digits for the 788th consecutive game. That season, Jordan also led the Bulls to their sixth NBA Championship title. The Air Jordan Retro XIII basketball shoe has an full-grain quilted leather upper with suede trim and unique hidden lacing system. Features a low-profile Pylon midsole with heel and forefoot Zoom Air units and a midfoot carbon fiber composite plate. The outsole is solid rubber with herringbone pods and Optimal Motion pattern. The Retro 13's featured the signature hologram on the ankle and the design was said to be inspired by a panther (reflective eye), since the outsole pads resemble a paw and circles represent whiskers.
