As Jordan Brand’s monumental 2025 year comes to close, it’s time to look ahead to 2026 and determine whether or not this year can truly be topped. With news of the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” dropping next Holiday alongside a strong roster of other drops, there’s every reason to believe that ’26 will somehow top ’25. One of those reasons: the Air Jordan 13 “True Red”.
Official images of this upcoming release have surfaced, revealing the iconic original from 1997 in all its glory. A white leather upper with the AJ13’s trademark dimpled upper, the smooth toe-box, the holographic cat eye jewel, and the paw-like outsole design is elevated by the hit of True Red that floods the suede mudguard and midsole.
Any Air Jordan actually worn by Michael Jordan during his NBA career is instantly elevated into an exclusive tier of footwear. MJ frequented this white/red/black colorway throughout his final season as a Chicago Bull; the True Reds were a common sight in ’97-’98, often wearing them in the regular season.
Currently, a release date is expected for March 13th, 2026 in Adult and GS sizes; see the official brand images below (GS pictured) and stay tuned for further updates. See our Jordan Releases 2026 page for the latest.
