An Official Look At The Air Jordan 13 Retro OG ‘Cherry’

The AIR JORDAN 13 RETRO OG ‘CHERRY’ is scheduled to drop just in time for the NBA All Star Game, and The Drop Date can give you a closer look.

Is it ‘Red’, True Red’, ‘Cherry’ or what? Whatever hue of red you want to call it – and we’ve seen several different terms – what we can confirm is that the silhouette will drop in its OG Nike colourway, that is White/Black/Red. These are, of course, the Chicago Bulls’ team colours, which is appropriate given that the AJ13 was Jordan’s on court shoe as he chased his sixth career title. The Tinker Hatfield design was introduced in multiple Chicago-inspired colourways throughout the 1997-1998 campaign. Now, nearly two decades later, the Air Jordan XIII returns in its original colours. The hardcourt sneaker is constructed with premium full grain leather upper with red suede mudguard and glowing green holographic ‘cats eye’ decal on the ankle. The Jumpman branding can be found on the tongue, while the black Air ‘paw print’ tooling with herringbone detail completes the look. The cats eye and sole’s paw print design are a homage to Michael Jordan’s nickname, the ‘Black Cat’, earned from his peers during the height of his playing days, and relates to his speed, agility and killer instinct.
