Next up on the Sneaker News spotlight on Air Jordan Player Exclusives is the Air Jordan XIII; perfect timing, considering the XIII is poised to make a loud comeback in 2013 in a plethora of energetic Retro+ colorways, perhaps inspired by some of the PEs made before. We’ll have a ton of familiar names here like Ray Allen, Quentin Richardson, and the elder roster-men in Eddie Jones, but this is it the first Air Jordan PE spotlight we’ll have with Michael Jordan himself. That’s right: Michael Jordan rocked low-top Player Exclusives during the 1998 NBA Playoffs, so check out MJ’s rare PEs and a library of other goodies below and let us know which is your personal favorite.
Might as well start off with the man himself: peep these rare Air Jordan XIII Lows made just for Michael Jordan during the 1998 NBA Playoffs.
