More Info About Air Jordan 13

The Air Jordan XIII's were released in 1997. This model was designed by Tinker Hatfield and was known for its cushioning along with allowing one's feet to breathe while wearing them. The inspiration for the XIII's was based on the Black Panther. Looking at the bottoms, the sole resembles the pads on a panthers paw. Also the sides on the upper are pitted just like a panthers cheeks from its whiskers. The final queue from the panther is the hologram on the back of the shoe which imitates a panther's eyes in the dark when light is shined at them. They were re-released in 2005, which coincided with the release of the Air Jordan XX shoe.

These were the shoes worn by Jake Shuttlesworth (Denzel Washington) in the movie He Got Game.

The Jordan Brand re-released the Air Jordan 13 at the end of 2010 which included the French Blue/Flint Grey , White/Red-Black , 'Playoff' color way and the Black/Altitude Green color way.
