The shopping season usually spills beyond the month of December into January and February with severe markdowns and stockroom clearing deals, but this is one hot item that some might have been saving up their dollars for a long while. Here’s a first look at the Air Jordan XIII ‘Playoffs’ that is currently set for a tentative January 2011 release; this colorway was worn by Michael during the 1998 NBA All-Star Game – his final All-Star Game appearance as a Chicago Bull – and during the 1998 Playoffs in two varieties – the Mid version for Home games a special PE low for Home games in the second round. All the AJ13 releases, namely the Flint XIII dropping this Friday and the Altitude XIII next month, may seem like overkill, but who’s really complaining? Check out these detailed images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Jordan Brand release updates. via MarqueeSole.

November 22nd, 2010 at 4:04 pm
my " GRAILS",my favorite xiii is the flints but jb screwed them up,but these playoffs look legit…i might need 3 pairs,because i never want to be without a fresh pair of playoff xiii
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Copping these joint also, probabaly do a four pair cop, gotta take advantage of that employee discount!
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Since you already have them how about you kill yourself that way you could buried in them!!!
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Straight heat!!!!!!!
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:46 pm
the XIII's are well retroed as far as shaping is concerned….but the material is cheaper and the retail price is higher…..also on the flints they took the 3M out, which kinda pisses me off when I wear them at night. The best XIII to come out this year will be the white and reds, but quality wise is the BIn xiii's. If only all jordans were good quality, then i would be 100% happy.
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:04 pm
Nice and Clean. A Classic. happy new year indeed!
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Looks like better quality than the flints, thats forsure
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:50 pm
