Nike is re-releasing the iconic Air Jordan 13 Retro "He Got Game" during Spring 2026, worn by Denzel Washington in Spike Lee's film.
UPDATE 07/18/2025: According to multiple industry sources, the famous Air Jordan 13 āHe Got Gameā will be released during the Summer of 2026. The pair comes with product code IR0973-100 and the "White / Black / True Red" color scheme. The information was published exclusively on Sneaker Market in collaboration with zSneakerHeadz and Sneaker Files.
UPDATE 03/21/2025: According to zSneakerHeadz and Sneaker Files (via X, formerly Twitter) the Air Jordan 13 Retro pair releasing in 2026 is the Air Jordan 13 Retro "Chicago" and not the Air Jordan 13 Retro "He Got Game". The previously mentioned product code and color scheme belong to the "True Red" model (also called "Chicago"), with both pairs using the same "White / Black / True Red" colorway.
When is the Air Jordan 13 Retro āHe Got Gameā releasing?
Although it is far too early to talk about an official release date, we already have information about a new Air Jordan release from 2026. According to multiple industry sources and internal documents, Nike is going to release the Air Jordan 13 Retro "He Got Game" again during 2026. The release information was published exclusively by Sneaker Market in collaboration with Brandon1an.
The pair comes with product code 414571-102 and the "White / Black / True Red" color scheme, indicating that this is the 1998 colorway. The color scheme was popularized by Denzel Washington in Spike Leeās film He Got Game. This model also carries the āBlack Toeā nickname. At the moment, we do not know if the pair will receive the āReimaginedā treatment, as was the case for the Air Jordan 4 āBredā. We expect the model to release in a full family size run. Nike has not yet confirmed the release rumors. In general, the brand avoids confirming rumors about upcoming limited-edition releases in the near future. However, Nike recently released this pair in the video game Fortnite, possibly as an initial teaser.
The Air Jordan 13 Retro āHe Got Gameā is releasing during Spring 2026 on Nike.com and at select Air Jordan Retro partner retailers. For now, the brand has not yet confirmed an exact release date. However, we already know that the model is part of the Nike Spring 2026 seasonal catalog, so we expect the pair to release between January and March 2026. See a mock-up below while we wait for more release details.
