Originally released in 1998, the “Flint” Air Jordan 13 stands as one of the most popular non-Chicago Bulls colorways in the numbered Air Jordan series. Far more aligned with Jordan's Washington Wizards' thread, the shoes have become a cult classic as the most recognizable and sought-after Jordan 13.
The colorway has been retroed three times since its original release, the most recent coming in 2020. Current pairs are sitting around $230 on the aftermarket, but sneakerheads will always jump on the chance for an updated pair of these shoes in their rotation.

The iconic colorway returns in Navy/Flint Grey-White-University Blue for the familiar look, characterized by the navy padded uppers. They feed into a grey suede midsole that runs up through the back heel while the tongue and toebox are done in smooth white tumbled leather. The outsole “pods” are also white as small hits of University Blue are seen on the Jordan Jumpman logos. Finally, the shoes are finished with the green holographic panel on the heel, a standard trait through all Air Jordan 13 silhouettes.
The Air Jordan 13 “Flint” will release August 1, 2026 in full family sizing for a standard retail tag of $215. The shoes will become available via Nike platforms and select Jordan Brand retailers in what looks to be ample quantities. Be sure to lock-in your pair, however, as previous releases have been notorious for selling out quickly.
