One of Michael Jordan’s more popular non-Chicago Bulls colorways is reportedly set to return after just a handful of years since its last reissue.
According to early info shared by various insider accounts, the Air Jordan 13 Retro Flint will receive a rerelease during summer 2026. The sneaker, which has a full colorway of Navy/Flint Gray/White/University Blue, gets its nickname from the shade of suede used throughout its upper.
Elsewhere, the panther-inspired design features a navy blue nylon overlay which is accentuated with speckles of reflective 3M material. White leather is used on the shoe’s base, while a UNC-appropriate University Blue fills in the tongue branding. Of course, it wouldn’t be an Air Jordan 13 without the model’s signature hologram “eye” badge at the heel. And on the bottom, designer Tinker Hatfield fashioned the outsole to resemble a panther’s paw.

Although Jordan didn’t wear this Flint colorway on the court, the Air Jordan 13 was one of his most prolific on-court models. He laced up the sneaker throughout the 1997–98 NBA season, wearing it in regular season action, in the NBA All-Star Game and in the playoffs before debuting the “Last Shot” Air Jordan 14 in Game 6 of the 1996 NBA Finals.
The Flint style of the Air Jordan 13 has been released during the model’s original run in 1997 and again in 2005, 2010 and 2020. The look is consistently popular, although the abundance of reissues has simmered the demand a bit over the years.
Also on the way for the Air Jordan 13 in ’26 is the reported return of the True Red (aka Chicago) makeup and a low-top variation of the original He Got Game colorway.
