One of the most beloved OG colorways in the lineage of the Air Jordan XIII is making its return this summer, as the “Flint” Air Jordan XIII is set to hit retail once again in August 2026.
Originally introduced in 1998, the “Flint” XIII has built a legacy of its own, returning multiple times over the years due to overwhelming demand. Now, six years after its last retro in 2020, Jordan Brand is bringing back the fan-favorite colorway for a new generation—and for longtime collectors who never get tired of it.
The 2026 version stays true to the classic formula. It features the signature reflective navy mesh upper, paired with Flint Grey suede overlays that wrap the lower portion of the sneaker. A crisp white leather toe box provides contrast, while hits of University Blue appear on the Jumpman branding.
Of course, no Air Jordan 13 would be complete without its iconic holographic “cat eye” emblem at the ankle—one of the most recognizable design elements in the entire Air Jordan line.
Though Michael Jordan never wore the Flint colorway on-court during his playing days, that hasn’t stopped it from becoming one of the most popular Air Jordan releases of all time. Each retro has been met with strong demand, and 2026 should be no different.
