The Air Jordan XIII ‘Playoffs’ was the very last Air Jordan XIII Michael wore in his career. Right before he whipped out the Air Jordan XIV in Black/Varsity Red (which would later be referred to as the ‘Last Shots’), the ‘Playoffs’ made its last appearance in Game 5 during the first half, but Michael switched to the XIV, hoping he would win the Championship at the United Center while wearing an all new pair of kicks. Of course, the rest is history, as documented by Michael Jordan Through The Years: Air Jordan XIV. The ‘Playoffs’ are one of the last few original Air Jordan XIII colorways to have never re-released (the other being the White/Varsity Red-Black ‘Bulls’ colorway that dropped in December), but tomorrow will be your chance to cop these classics as these will officially hit Jordan Brand retailers for good. Still need convincing? We got an army of images for you below, courtesy of Kenlu, so take a quick look and let us know if these are a must-have for you. If you don’t want to leave the comfort of your own home, cop a pair now on eBay.
Style: 414571-001
Color: Black/Varsity Red-White-Vibrant Yellow

February 25th, 2011 at 7:18 pm
I love these kicks and was fortunate to get my pair today but am I the only one who notices all the glue stains in these pictures?? What is really going on with the sneaker manufacturing this year? My blue foams had a bunch of glue on them as well. How are they getting passed with all these obvious flaws.
February 25th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
how'd they get in my room
February 25th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
Yeah these are very nice. But if I get em, I gotta wait till summer to wear em because this Chicago weather doesn't allow you to wear new jordans right now

February 25th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
how fast do yall think these will sell out at footlacker and footaction because i probably wont have enough money to buy them till the first week of april
February 25th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
i too was kinda hoping these stuck around like the cement III's have. i got up early and went and waited for the store to open to get the III's and then they are hanging around weeks later, i can only pray that happens with the xiii's i doubt it tho
February 25th, 2011 at 10:15 pm

February 25th, 2011 at 10:30 pm

February 26th, 2011 at 12:07 am

February 26th, 2011 at 12:09 am
got em…all is right with the universe
February 26th, 2011 at 12:15 am
Same here Savage. Just wish I'd copped 2 pairs of the 3's, man they're nice!
February 26th, 2011 at 12:32 am
whoever this cat is with the bed full of AJXIII's is one of the main reason why the shoe game is falling off! all this guy is gonna do is try to sell them on Ebay for damn near double the price just like the cool grey & space jam XI's, altitude XIII's, etc!! good thing im chillin' out for awhile after i copp these tomorrrow because it's really starting to become sad!!!
February 26th, 2011 at 1:31 am
Got 2 pairs will last me until my 30's will never have to copp these again. 1998 last me until 08
February 26th, 2011 at 2:16 am
I'm wearing my pair right now! I'm kind of new to the game but I think I'm starting the right way. This is my first pair of shoes that is a big release, I kno the history of the shoe and its significance, and best of all I actually stood in line for the shoes!!!
February 26th, 2011 at 7:12 am
I got copped three pair….. damn they look good on my feet
February 26th, 2011 at 9:00 am

February 26th, 2011 at 9:36 am

February 26th, 2011 at 11:10 am

February 26th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Thanks for the heads up. Just copped the gas mask tee for my 3's. Is this your store?
February 26th, 2011 at 1:35 pm
yea, people are really going to be looking at the soul of your sneaker. they had to do something different from the OGs. i rather have it on the bottom then something more visable
February 26th, 2011 at 3:57 pm
$275!? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH TAT BULLSHIT. How could SneakerNews even let this fool comment that!
February 26th, 2011 at 4:33 pm

February 26th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
that is so much fun waiting in line………………….. but sometime its a little scary for me as i am the only asian in the line, and the rest are all big black guys. turn out they are all very friendy and love sneaker. i will look forward to the next big release.
February 26th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
You might as well get them bordouxs if your gonna wait until april
February 26th, 2011 at 10:43 pm
HA! Who are these fools thinking they can get space jam prices for any and every GR? Half the time there's still fsr's online while people on ebay trying to get 2x retail.
February 26th, 2011 at 10:51 pm
These are a throwback!!!!! I got these back in 98 and at the time it was my 1st pair of Jordans ever. 98 was a good year and I’m a big sneaker head but I don’t think these will make the collection this year. JB need to step up the overall quality of these retro’s that they keep droppin. How u gonna charge more for the kicks but they are covered with glue.
February 26th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
This is some bullsh*t!!!! This dude that took these pics has 19 pairs of J’s on his bed. Most footlockers dont even care 19 pair of the retro’s in stores anymore when they drop. All this dude is gonna do is sell em for $300 a pop.
February 27th, 2011 at 2:06 am
you can rub ice cubes on the glue for a few minutes and the glue will come off. Worked with my SOUTH BEACH 8's
February 27th, 2011 at 3:28 am
get out the club!
February 27th, 2011 at 7:27 am
in my southern town these sold out everywhere within an hour, sold out quicker than the 09' space jam release.tryed to get them at online retail sites also sold out so i had to get them through a online re-seller for 224.99 shipped sadly.hope jb does a online restock on these like they have been doing for the past few retro releases so i can cop another pair at retail price.
February 27th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Got mine. Love 'em. True classic's right here
February 27th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Just watched the clip.. Thanx for clearing that up!
February 27th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Bought me THREE pairs. I took the drive during my lunch break to the House Of Hoops @ Riverside Mall (just outside of Chicago) . 9AM I took the last Retro 13s size 9! HOLLA!
February 27th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
