Air Jordan 13 "He Got Game" Returns April 2026

The Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” is officially set to return in May 2026, bringing back one of the most iconic colorways in the Jordan archive.

First seen on-screen in Spike Lee’s 1998 film He Got Game, the sneaker earned its nickname from Denzel Washington’s portrayal of Jake Shuttlesworth, who wore the black, white, and red pair throughout the film. Beyond the big screen, the colorway gained popularity for its association with Michael Jordan’s late-career run, helping to cement it as a staple for collectors and basketball enthusiasts alike.

The retro is expected to feature its original build, with a premium white leather upper, contrasting black suede panels, and True Red accents. The classic holographic ankle emblem and paw-like sole unit also return, rounding out a design that helped define the era of late-‘90s basketball footwear.

Look for the Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” to release in April 2026 at select retailers and on Nike.com.
