Stealthy, with a nice touch of purple. The Air Jordan 13 Retro “Court Purple” brings a subtle yet stunning finish to the reflective and panther-inspired basketball shoe. This can be a great alternative to the all-white upper on the Jordan 13 “Lakers” from 2019.
A lot of people will never get tired of rocking Js, and neither do we. Most especially when Jordan Brand releases eye-catching flavours to the best Air Jordan Retro models. The Air Jordan 13, for the most part, garnered a lot of praises and good feedbacks for its unique look. And this upcoming take on the “Court Purple” makeover gives us nothing to complain about!
The Air Jordan 13 holds a special place among MJ’s game-worn models. It’s one of his NBA Finals shoes too (although he wore the Air Jordan 14 to clinch the championship). Inspired by a panther’s hunting prowess, the Air Jordan 13 specialised on a reflective upper and a cat’s eye hologram on the rear.
Aside from MJ’s “Black Cat” nickname, Tinker Hatfield incorporated a premium addition in the form of a quilted overlay. The quilted panels can come in various materials – but fancy nonetheless. A cat’s paw comes to life on the midsole and outsole.
When it comes to sneaker tech, this fire shoe is a beast on the basketball court. Equipped with Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot, the J13 provides a bouncy ride. The paw-like outsole boasts a reliable herringbone traction pattern. A midfoot carbon fibre plate serves as torsional support.
The Air Jordan 13 Retro “Court Purple” comes in an all-black mesh and leather base. Court Purple adorns the suede heel, midsole, Jumpman on the tongue, and the side mudguard.
This shoe is highly similar to Sacramento Kings legend Mike Bibby’s Air Jordan 13 Low Player Exclusive. Luckily, this is easier to get!
