Air Jordan 13 “Flint” Retro Expected Summer 2026

Yes, you read the title correctly: Michael Jordan's iconic Air Jordan 13 "Flint" from 1998 is expected to retro during the Summer 2026 season.

While somewhat peculiar given the pair's most recent reissue having been in 2020, the news follows an ongoing trend from across the Nike, Inc. empire of beloved styles returning on a five-ish year cycle. Ken Griffey, Jr.'s legendary Nike Air Griffey Max 1 "Freshwater" last launched in 2021, but is also expected to form part of the Swoosh conglomerate's lineup for next year.

Since its debut in '98, the "Flint" Air Jordan pair has retrod three different times. If it does return during next summer, that'll mark the model's fourth return in the beloved "Navy/Flint Grey/White" color scheme. Given the impending drop's same style code as the launch from five years ago (414571-404), the next reissue should be identical to its immediate predecessor.

Enjoy detailed photos of 2020's "Flint" retro ahead. Pairs are expected via Nike.com/Jordan before September 2026 arrives.
