Jordan XIII

While MJ, to most, already played the game with an undying passion and aggressiveness, his close friends throughout the league had long ago coined him with the nickname “The Black Cat.” With feline-like inspirations in mind, Tinker Hatfield created a paw aesthetic to the outsole of the XIII that matched up with the hologram eye along the heel and dramatic colorways that Michael played in. Equipped once again with heel and forefoot Zoom Air and a midfoot carbon fiber shank for unrivaled cushioning and support, the XIII would live on as one of the greatest performing Air Jordans in the line, allowing for pouncing drives to the basket and precise pull-up jumpers in traffic.
