Curry 7 Sneaker Drops Air Jordan XIII

The Air Jordan XIII first dropped in 1997, as MJ was chasing down his sixth championship. Almost immediately, the sneaker was absorbed into pop culture, becoming a regular rotation for stars and rappers alike. To pay homage to the original colorway, the “Black/Gym Red” colorway inverts the black and white panels to create an interesting new take on the retro sneaker. Hits of red on the toe boxes, tongues and insoles help to bring the sneaker back to Chicago. You can cop a pair at the Nike SNKRS site.
