The Jordan XIII’s entire concept is based on Tinker Hatfield’s epiphany as he watched the legendary Michael Jordan playing like a feline - “powerful, instinctive and predatory.” Hatfield took the concept of the “Black Cat” and transformed it into the Air Jordan 13. You should have this pair because:

  • You're a feline lover and Michael Jordan superfan.
  • You'd want to don a legendary and classic model, that you can actually play in, and not only wear casually.

The shoe’s upper material varies depending on the colorway; some colorways feature suede while some have textile that is woven with a reflective 3M strand. However, the most popular colorway has an upper that is made of polyurethane-coated split-grain leather. The shoe’s toe box is made of a synthetic leather material that doesn’t crease largely, maintaining the shoe’s look.

Inspired by the “Black Cat” alter ego of Michael Jordan, the Jordan 13 Low’s silhouette looks classy with its leather upper material. The leather’s texture gives it its primal, beast-like qualities. The colorways that use reflective 3M threads on its upper mimic the reflective qualities of feline fur.
