The Jordan Retro 13s have been one of the most iconic basketball sneakers in the history of the sport. First released in 1997, the iconic shoe was designed by Tinker Hatfield, who had previously designed the iconic Air Jordan 3s. The original design of the Jordan 13s was inspired by a panther, and featured a unique hologram logo on the upper heel of the shoe. The Jordan 13s were also unique in that they featured a carbon fiber midsole and a zoom air cushioning system.
