Air Jordan 1 ’97 “Playoffs”
January 18th, 2013 by John K. | 35 comments

Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls didn’t make much noise when they reached the Playoffs in 1985 (besides a mere 63-point game by the great one), but the story of the XIII is much different. In fact, when MJ wore the Air Jordan XIII, the Bulls won an NBA Title! This Spring 2013 release combines AJ1 and AJ13 to sum up the Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97, with the popular ‘Playoffs’ colorway taking form in the tumbled black leather and dimpled upper. More images of this upcoming hybrid-style release is ahead so take a look and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updated release info.

i dont mind grabbin em! fresh js!
These are nice. Nothing wrong with new releases.
you can't front, these look very nice
Yes, sirrr!
I've got Playoff XIIIs and I would still consider copping these. This is a combination that works (a lot better than mixing AF-1s & Js).
@DugLast the AJF4s & 5s were the best in my opinion
@Enrik I love IVs and Vs, but fusions were a hard sell for me. The AF-1 outsole kills the Jordan look.
@DugLast yeah fusions were a big bust to the JB line. much respect to your opinion bruh.
Very clean, definite cop
Very clean
These are dope... I might cop these off dat leather alone
Impressed
*Throws money at screen* Yeah I would cop these.
I don't care that these aren't on the purist tip! I will cop these, in this color way only though.
clean.
that leather is fuckin dope like avon barksdale on da wire... im startin to be done wit JB tho... they fuckin up da game worse then da resellers
Ah yes dope 4sure wanna cop
These joints tuff
Dese r coo
Why are they named A J 1 Retro 97? The playoff Xiii were first released in 1998...
@The Whale Because the first 13's were released in 97. The playoffs aren't the only colorway for these retro 97's.
I see JB went back to the Fusion lab and cooked up some more FrankenJs. .... For those touting you like the quality on these, you should be voicing to get that same quality on retros without a $30+ price hike. Reebok has $120 (and lower) kicks with great quality, so it can be done
@NuttyKicksmost Jordans are 'leather' and if they were to use real leather..thats a lot of fuckin cows man ha
@npt @NuttyKicks so have reebok's retros. have you seen the kamikaze's? they got leather on 'em too. have you seen the quality of jordans lately? glue friggin everywhere. no quality.
These are dope. If you don't like don't cop. Stop hatin
wack
Better call these jordan retro 1/13 fusion and start doin all jordans till 23 smh just like the forces
@BoricuaSole unfortunately the fusion are straight rat ass. This concept here is dope.
I would cop. The leather is compliely on point to me.
I am upset with myself for liking these!! But they go hard.
I feel sorry for the AJ1 as it has now become the guinea pig of the Jordan retro family.
dope
