Jordan Brand is bringing back the Air Jordan 13 'Chicago' (True Red/Cherry) colorway, originally debuted in 1998 during Michael Jordan's final Bulls season, with a retro release on March 13, 2026 (March 14 in some time zones). Official images are out, and it's available in full-family sizing through Nike and select retailers, priced from $85–$215.
The Air Jordan 13 'Chicago,' designed by Tinker Hatfield, first launched in 1998 and was worn by Michael Jordan during the Chicago Bulls' 1997-98 'Last Dance' season—his final campaign with the team—before he switched to the Air Jordan 14 in the 1998 Finals. This marks the fourth retro (after 2010 and 2017), tying into Jordan Brand's 40th anniversary retro program in 2025.
The sneaker features a white quilted/tumbled leather upper with University Red/cherry suede overlays on midsole panels and heels, black detailing on the outsole and Jumpman logo, a holographic/iridescent 'cat eye' (lenticular Jumpman/23 print referencing Jordan's 'Black Cat' nickname), and a panther paw-patterned outsole.
Release is set for March 13, 2026 (or March 14 at 10:00 a.m. EST), via Nike SNKRS app, Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Hibbett, and JD Sports (early access in-store March 9, online March 10). Pricing: $215 men's/adult, $160–$165 grade school/big kids, $100–$105 preschool/little kids, $85–$90 toddler. Expect quick sellouts; prepare multiple devices and resale via StockX/GOAT.
