Jordan Brand’s penchant for sticking as close to the Air Jordan Legacy can be seen in their designs and colorways taken after popular Air Jordan models. Shoes like the Air Jordan Spiz’ike, Jordan Phly Legend, and Jordan Flight 9 are just a few examples of this instance. Last year, Jordan Brand also released the Air Jordan Flight 45 with a design and colorway inspired by the ‘Taxi’ and ‘Playoff’ colorway of the Air Jordan XII, and in this unreleased sample seen here, it appears that JB had plans to releases another Jordan 45 High inspired by Jordan XIII. The upper features a basic black/white colorway with the signature ‘dimples’ from the Air Jordan XIII on the upper. With the black toe-box and red Jumpman on the tongue, it’s clear that this particular sample was taken after the Air Jordan XIII colorway from ‘He Got Game’. Take a look at the detailed images after the jump and to pick up this rare unreleased sample, check out the auction from dballaholic on eBay.
