Air Jordan 13 "Flint" Releases August 1, 2026
The Air Jordan 13 "Flint" is making its return on August 1, 2026, bringing back the understated late-'90s palette that defined one of the model's most distinctive colorways. This reissue faithfully reproduces the original navy, Flint grey, and white execution that debuted nearly three decades ago.

A '90s Classic Returns
When the Air Jordan 13 first launched in 1998, the "Flint" colorway stood apart from the typical Bulls-era aesthetic that dominated Jordan Brand's early catalog. Rather than leaning into Chicago red and black, the silhouette introduced a more restrained approach: reflective navy mesh layered against Flint grey suede, grounded by crisp white leather. That unconventional choice aged exceptionally well, and the colorway has maintained a devoted following across two decades.
The 2026 iteration honors that legacy with precision. White leather anchors the toe and tongue, while reflective 3M navy mesh comprises the upper. Flint grey suede wraps the heel and frames the sole pods—white and grey midsole elements stacked in the Air Jordan 13's signature construction. The only chromatic deviation comes via University Blue accents on the Jumpman tongue embroidery, a subtle nod that avoids overwhelming the restrained palette. The iconic hologram jewel at the ankle completes the nostalgic execution.
Design Details
The Air Jordan 13 silhouette itself represents one of designer Peter Moore's most audacious creations—a shoe marked by its pronounced midsole geometry and the integrated hologram that functions as both security device and design statement. The "Flint" colorway leverages these elements without overstatement. The reflective mesh catches light in specific conditions, a detail that rewards close inspection rather than demanding immediate attention. White and grey pods stacked beneath the midfoot create visual rhythm while maintaining compositional balance.
Family sizing will be available, making the release accessible across age groups. Adult pairs carry a $215 USD retail price.
