Air Jordan 13 Retro Playoffs (2023)

Where the look of this pair comes from

The Air Jordan 13 Retro Playoffs (2023) features black, full-grain leather with perforated panels that break up the model's heavy silhouette and allow airflow. The red Jumpman on the tongue and the yellow circle around it are the signature marks of this colorway—two bold accents on an all-black shoe that make the pair stand out from across the street. The sole has a tread inspired by a panther's paw, and Zoom Air cushioning works inside, which, given the weight of the upper, makes a real difference on hard pavement.

How they fit and how to choose a size

The 13 is taller and fuller than most low-top sneakers: it covers the ankle, has a solid heel and a distinct instep, so the foot sits deeper inside. The leather is stiff at first and needs a few wears before it softens at the crease. Available sizes range from 40 to 46, including halves 40.5, 42.5, 44.5, and 45.5. Measure the length of your foot and compare it with the size chart, instead of relying on the size from another Jordan model—the construction in this line varies from one to another.

What to wear them with

Black does most of the work: the pair fits into outfits where the shoe isn't meant to be the main topic of conversation, while the red and yellow accents are enough to keep it from looking boring. They look best under a wider leg opening that partially covers the upper and leaves the sole and bottom panel visible. We’ve collected other versions of this silhouette in our Air Jordan 13 shoes section, a wider selection of the line is available in Air Jordan shoes, and fresh arrivals land in new arrivals.
