From the beginning of Michael Jordan’s storied NBA career with the Air Jordan 1 to the end with the Air Jordan XIII Retro, Jordan Brand has plenty of stories to tell in 2013. This ‘Bred’ Air Jordan 13 is all about following up on the ‘Flu Game’ and persevering through some serious challenges courtesy of a gritty Indiana Pacers squad who remained in title contention for several years. They could have been the ‘Last Shot’ Thirteens had Mike not surprised the world with an early premier for the XIV, but no matter the nickname, our first round of black and red playoff ‘away’ XIIIs in nine years is the kind of thing that has Jordanheads frantically flipping back and forth between this and next year’s calendars to be sure everything’s in order. These are still on deck along with the new ‘Squadron Blue’ edition; for which ballistic-paneled pair are you most excited?

If any guy has reason for his player exclusive pairs to still be in deadstock condition it’s Mike Bibby, a player who has had no shortage of Air Jordan PE’s crafted for him over the years. This specific one however has indeed been put to use, and even blessed with his signature afterwards. The sneaker is a low iteration of the Air Jordan XIII with a Sacramento Kings look, keeping things in line with the sort of height restriction that has generally been put on the specialized Bibby items. Click through with us to check out the pair in full detail and let us know in the comments below if you prefer your PE’s to bit a bit broken in for the historical factor or untouched. And after that make sure you check out the auction on ‘em right now from deep23js on eBay.

The never-say-die composition of black and red gets another jolt in 2013 with the much-anticipated re-release of the Air Jordan XIII. It’s an impressive foll0w-up to this November’s Air Jordan IV and December’s Air Jordan XI, so the question is – is the Air Jordan XIII the best ‘Bred’ of the bunch? If the 2010 Retro of the Flint XIII is any indication, don’t expect any reflective weaving in the ballistic upper. We’ve got a nice full gallery of the Air Jordan XIII ‘Bred’ after the jump so give it a once-over and let us know which ‘Bred’ you’re looking forward to the most.

Jordan Brand has a penchant for tapping young and bright talent as their roster members. Gerald Wallace, a long-time Jordan Brand athlete, came off the bench for a talented Sacramento Kings squad, but really came out of his shell when he moved on to Charlotte, garnering an NBA All-Star Game appearance in 2010. During that year, Gerald Wallace was issued this amazing Air Jordan XIII PE in a Black/Orange colorway; it copies the popular ‘Bred XIII’ color-blocking, but features Crash’s GW PE logo on the tongue. With Air Jordan XIII releases confirmed for 2013, would you like to see these join the mix?

Over the past few years, Jordan Brand has introduced a few commemorative Air Jordan Legacy sets unifying the series across a single color theme. First came 2009′s all-white online lookbook, followed by a red-soled set that made appearances in late ’09 and into 2010. ’The Love of the Game’ later birthed two distinct UNC-style Pantone collections (with and without lasering), but even those Tar Heel-colored designs kept to the familiar story we’ve come to associate with the Greatest of All-Time. Then earlier this year, a range that’s yet to be formally displayed made the rounds, as the Air Jordan Rainbow Pack covered the entire visible spectrum from Roy to G.Biv and back again. The Air Jordan XIII and XIV from that set are closest to Carolina blue, though against a dark background, it’s easy to see that the satiny Foamposite-esque uppers can lean toward a more royal shade. Stick with Sneaker News to find out if/when the others pop up with availability, and be sure to check out more photos and the sample currently available from brokeonjordans on eBay.

Fresh off this weekend’s release of one of the most hotly anticipated Air Jordan Retros of 2012 in commemoration of Michael’s second Olympic gold medal comes a look into next year’s run of models from his last NBA Championship season. The Air Jordan 13 will return next spring with one of its original colorways and another that takes that pair’s distinctive dimpled ballistic nylon panels in a different direction. The first is the ‘Bred’ Air Jordan XIII Retro that would have been nicknamed ‘Last Shot’ had Mike not reached into the future during a title run he must have sensed was his last. The second is the brand new ‘Squadron Blue’ edition, sporting a tonal build reminiscent of the 2010 ‘Altitude’ revision. Let us know which looks best once you’ve had a chance to see them both below and stick with Sneaker News for all the 2013 Air Jordan 13 release dates.
