Original Air Jordans returning always attract significant attention from sneakerheads and casuals who appreciate the history behind Jordan Brand’s original lineup. Thankfully, 2025 (technically) being Jordan Brand's 40th anniversary means that we’ve been treated to a slew of OG colorways, but that isn’t stopping in 2026. The very first Air Jordan 13 colorway will be coming back in Spring 2026.
During Michael Jordan’s final season with the Chicago Bulls, His Airness laced up the Air Jordan 13, cementing the model's place in the annals of MJ history. Though seven colorways hit shelves during the sneaker's original run, Jordan only laced up four high-top versions of the sneaker, including the returning Chicago colorway. Since its initial release in 1998, the Chicago (also referred to as True Red or Cherry) has been retroed twice, once in 2010 and again in 2017.
