Fierce, Dominant, Legendary — The Air Jordan 13 Retro 'Playoff' 2023
The Air Jordan 13 Retro 'Playoff' 2023 brings back one of the most iconic and collector-essential AJ13 colorways in Jordan Brand history. Originally released in 1997 and worn by Michael Jordan during the Chicago Bulls’ legendary 1997–98 championship season — the final chapter of the dynasty — the Playoff AJ13 pairs a bold Black and True Red upper with a clean White midsole, delivering the most aggressive and historically charged AJ13 colorway ever made. The 2023 retro faithfully recreates the OG-spec look and feel of the original, giving collectors and wearers the chance to own the shoe MJ wore during one of the greatest championship runs in NBA history.
