The Air Jordan 13 "Wheat" is scheduled to be released for the first time since 2004 as part of Jordan Brand's Holiday 2023 assortment. This incredibly uncommon colorway was only produced once, roughly two decades back, resulting in the first-ever Air Jordan 13 Retro. As such, this shoe stands out from other Retros released in previous years.

The famous silhouette was created by Tinker Hatfield and featured an ankle hologram that was modeled on a panther's eyes. The design of a panther's paw served as the idea for the trademark midsole unit.

It stands to reason for Jordan Brand to interpolate their own version of streetwear's must-have sneakers from 2004, when the Timbs were at the height of their popularity.

The origin of Jordan Brand's thirteenth distinctive silhouette is highlighted on their official website:

“Michael Jordan's creative dexterity and stealth put his opponents on edge and threw them off balance, earning him the infamous nickname "Black Cat". Throughout the 1997-98 season Jordan consistently outmaneuvered his rivals with a remarkable deftness all his own.”

It further highlights the advanced features that arrived with this sneaker:

“Appropriately inspired by a panther's predatory nature, Tinker harnessed its tenacity to create the Air Jordan XIII. The shoe featured an unconventional holographic eye and an outsole resembling a panther paw. The AJ XIlI also featured innovations like a carbon fiber plate and Zoom Air, to give players the agility of a cat.”

The new offering, as seen in these initial looks, reflects its nearly two-decade-old colorway with tumbled leather uppers, a clean white ensemble, and thick nubuck reinforcements that are dyed in the shade associated with workwear.

Signature holographic pucks are attached to the heel counters, marking a sharp contrast to the model's forerunner's clothed tan effort from 2017. It also has "Wheat"-treated marking along the tongue's Jumpman emblem, offering more tried-and-true characteristics.
