The Air Jordan 13 Retro Flint Grey is Delayed Until Fall ‘26

If you were expecting to pop up at family functions, barbeques, and outdoor bar patios in a fresh pair of Flint Grey Air Jordan 13s this summer, you’re out of luck. But if you switch up your flexing plans to the second half of the year, you’ll probably be alright. After we got word of the return of the grey and blue AJ 13 last summer, the shoe is now delayed from Summer 2026 until the Fall, pushing back plans for the lucky-numbered retro.

Originally released in 1998 during Jordan’s final run with the Chicago Bulls, the Flint Grey colorway never made it to the court on Mike’s feet, but the OG colorway is still one of the most beloved 13s, mixing a textured white leather toe and tongue with netted blue side panels and soft Flint Grey nubuck on the midsole and heel.

A Carolina Blue Jumpman logo adds another splash of color on the tongue, and a black outsole completes the clean look that’s stood the test of time. The colorway has been retroed three times in the past: in 2005, 2010, and 2020, with the upcoming fall drop marking the fourth time the shoe has returned to shelves. Luckily, this one will keep the 3M feature on the upper that some past releases lacked.

The Air Jordan 13 Retro Flint will be released Fall 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in full-family sizing, the retail price is set at $215 (men), $165 (GS), $105 (PS), and $90 (TD). For all the latest Air Jordan drop news, download the Sole Retriever App.
