Coming Soon: Air Jordan 13 Retro “True Red”

The return of a legend is always a moment. But when it’s dressed in Chicago Bulls–inspired red, it’s history in motion. The Air Jordan 13 Retro “True Red,” also known as the “Cherry” or “Chicago” 13, is back to remind sneakerheads why this silhouette remains one of the most iconic designs in the Air Jordan line. Clean, bold, and rooted in MJ’s championship era, this release is everything you remember, and everything you need right now.

Originally introduced during Michael Jordan’s unforgettable 1997–98 season, the Air Jordan 13 was designed with inspiration drawn from a black panther – reflected in its sleek stance, quilted side panels, and holographic “cat eye” on the heel. The OG “True Red” colorway – last rereleased in 2017 – amplifies that fierce DNA with a crisp white tumbled leather upper contrasted by rich red suede wrapping the midsole and heel. Black accents along the outsole and tongue branding ground the look, delivering that unmistakable Chicago Bulls energy.

This new Retro release stays true to its roots, preserving the signature details that made the AJ13 a classic. From the responsive cushioning to the paw-inspired outsole pods, every element works together to blend performance heritage with street-ready style. Whether you call them the “True Red,” “Cherry,” or “Chicago” 13s, one thing is certain: this colorway never misses.

Will you be looking to cop? The Air Jordan 13 Retro “True Red” will be available on Saturday, March 14th, in-store and online at DTLR.com, in full-family sizing.
