The Air Jordan 13 Low “He Got Game” returns with a clean low-cut design that nods to both sneaker history and Hollywood.

The Air Jordan 13 Low “He Got Game” is officially back, bringing a fresh spin to one of the most iconic colorways in the Jordan line. Originally made famous by both Michael Jordan and Denzel Washington’s character in Spike Lee’s He Got Game.

This release takes the high-top look and retools it into a sleeker, low-top form. The black and white tumbled leather upper stays true to the original, while True Red accents keep that unmistakable pop alive. It’s a clean reinterpretation of a classic with roots in basketball and film.

What makes this retro special isn’t just the colorway, but the story behind it. The Air Jordan 13 was the last model MJ wore during a championship run. It’s long been celebrated for its unique design inspired by a black panther.

From the paw-like sole to the holographic “cat eye” emblem on the heel, it’s a silhouette built around stealth, speed, and presence. Now, with the low-top “He Got Game,” those same traits are repackaged into something more versatile and streamlined.

Looking at the photos, it’s clear this version still carries the same attitude it’s just lighter on the ankle.

The Air Jordan 13 Low “He Got Game” features a crisp white tumbled leather upper, offset by smooth black suede overlays wrapping the toe, midfoot, and heel. A bold red Jumpman sits on the tongue, while subtle chrome branding appears near the collar.

The sculpted midsole keeps the OG two-tone look alive, with white pods and red outsoles grounding the shoe. Though it drops the high-top collar, this low-top stays true to the original blueprint.

The iconic holographic eye remains intact, and the overall build offers the same mix of court-ready traction and off-court appeal that defined the original.

Sneaker Files reports that the Air Jordan 13 Low “He Got Game” will be released in the summer of 2026. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be announced closer to when they drop.
