If you thought the 2025 Jordans were a load, brace yourself for an equally heavy 2026. The Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” is expected to return in Spring 2026, marking the first Retro release since 2018. Read below to learn more.
The Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” is a case study of how cultural connotation can enhance a product. Already a coveted item simply for being on the feet of the GOAT, this White/Black/True Red version of the XIII had added layers of cool due to its appearance in Spike Lee’s He Got Game. Starring Denzel Washington as Jake Shuttlesworth and Ray Allen as his basketball prodigy son Jesus, the film explores a father-son bond as the embattled elder looks to steer his offspring to Big State.
The He Got Game Jordans are one of several iconic sneakers to appear in the movie; the others are the Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl” and the Zoom Hawk Flight.
According to sneakermarketro, the He Got Game Jordan 13s are confirmed to return in Spring 2026. Below is a detailed look at the 2018 version of the shoes. Be sure to follow along on our Jordan Release Dates 2025 page for the latest on this important drop.
