2025 will go down as one of the greatest years for retro Air Jordan releases ever. Jordan Brand came for our wallets with a barrage of fan favorites, cult classics, and original Jordans throughout this year. However, the energy from this year’s 40th anniversary celebrations looks to be seeping into next year. Alongside the Wolf Grey 5s and Toro Bravo 4s, the Air Jordan 13 Retro Flint will be returning in Summer 2026.
Here's a quick rundown for those unfamiliar with the original Air Jordan 13. The model was the last sneaker released during Michael Jordan’s second and final run with the Chicago Bulls, and it launched in seven different colorways throughout 1997 and 1998. One of these original pairs, the Air Jordan 13 Flint, was never worn by MJ in a game. Still, it had its moment on court thanks to a slew of NCAA stars rocking the sneaker. Players like Mike Bibby, Miles Simon, Robert Traylor, Khalid El-Amin, and many more would take the court in the late ‘90s and early 2000s in the sneaker for their respective programs.
