A well-done hybrid will always be embraced, especially when executed with subtlety as seen on the Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97. With the inspiration taken from the Air Jordan XIII, Jordan Brand whipped up two iconic colorways of ‘He Got Game’ and ‘Playoffs’ for that added XIII appeal while keeping the AJ1 silhouette intact. Both colorways will be available at retailers worldwide like Titolo, so check out the images below and cop now on eBay.

Many overlook at Air Jordan 1 simply because it’s been re-issued in a sea of colorways over the years, but in 2013, it managed to steal a ton of the spotlight with the ‘Bulls’, ‘Royal’, ‘Knicks’, and several other releases. It continues in March with a hybrid-like spin, mixing the original model with some hints from the Air Jordan XIII (thus the ’97). The White/Black-Gym Red colorway will drop alongside the Air Jordan XIII of the same ‘He Got Game’ moniker in March, with the Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97 arriving during the first weekend. A new set of photos is right ahead so take a look and let us know what you think of this hybrid model.

The outpour of upcoming Air Jordan 1 samples continue as we get a look at the hybrid formation of AJ1 and AJ13 known as the Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97. We already gave you a look at the White/Black-Gym Red version dubbed the “He Got Game” for its semblance to the Air Jordan XIII of the same label, so the question is: Are these hybrids a “go”? Remember, Jordan Brand’s previous attempts and mixing and matching were not widely embraced, but this renewed concept might have better success this time around based on the reception by our readers. A gallery is just below so take a look and purchase now from oregonsole on eBay.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97 TXT apparently has a couple different colorways that will tie in to the upcoming Air Jordan XIII ‘Squadron Blue’.

Hit the jump for an early catalog scan of this Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97 TXT and keep in mind that they should be in stores pretty soon given the imminent release of the sneaker they’re based on.

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.

Following up the ‘He Got Game’ colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97 is this another mock-up based on an original colorway – the popular ‘Playoffs’ that hit stores early in 2011. It features a tonal black leather upper with the clear AJ13 cues on the upper dimpled panel, the holographic Jordan Wings logo, the Jumpman on the tongue, and the JORDAN flap at the base of the laces. Hybrids always have a tough time grasping the attention of Air Jordan purists, but do you think these are perhaps the most “clean” results we’ve ever seen? More of the Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97 “Playoffs” below, so take a look and stick with Sneaker News with potential release information for Spring 2013, and review the entire listing from dopekicks23 on eBay.
