The Air Jordan 13 "Chicago" Returns Spring 2026

Jordan Brand is set to bring back one of its most iconic Air Jordan 13 colorways in Spring 2026, with the long-awaited return of the original “Chicago” — also known as “True Red” or “Cherry” — on the calendar for the new year, as per zSneakerheadz.

Last seen in 2017, the colorway debuted in 1998 during Michael Jordan’s final season with the Chicago Bulls, where it appeared on-foot throughout his quest for a sixth and final NBA championship. The design remains one of the cleanest OG Air Jordan 13s in the lineup, dressed in a white leather upper with vibrant red suede overlays and a rich black finish on the tongue, liner, and outsole.

Unlike more stylized or story-driven colorways, the “Chicago” 13 keeps things classic. The bold True Red suede across the mudguard and heel contrasts perfectly against the tumbled white leather upper, while the signature holographic ankle jewel and panther-inspired outsole round out the silhouette’s signature DNA.

Its return marks a key highlight in Jordan Brand’s Spring 2026 schedule, coinciding with continued efforts to reintroduce classic colorways to a new generation of fans. With faithful construction expected and the original color blocking in place, this retro should arrive true to form.

Expect pairs to hit Nike SNKRS and select retailers early next year.
