Denzel Washington’s Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” Is Making a 2026 Comeback

Jordan Brand has its sights set on bringing fans another memorable year of releases in 2026. After all, it’s only January, and sneaker insiders have already reported a few significant releases for next year, including the much-anticipated Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game.”

A Closer Look At The Sneaker

Sneaker leakers Sneaker Market Romania and Brandon1an have reported the revival of the classic Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” colourway from 1997. However, the exact form of this revival, whether a reimagined version or an authentic replica, still remains unknown.

If the latter, anticipate the iconic black and white leather uppers with the same true red accents on the outsole and branding as the original release—a sneaker that was not only popularised by Michael Jordan himself on the court but also became a pop culture icon after its inclusion in Spike Lee’s 1998 movie He Got Game.

Denzel Washington’s character, Jake Shuttlesworth, famously donned the Air Jordan 13 in the film, giving the shoe its namesake. The sneaker was last retroed for the movie’s 20th anniversary in 2018, so fans should be excited about its resurgence.

Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” Release Details

The popular Air Jordan 13 colourway will be available again on Nike.com and select Jordan Brand stores in the spring of 2026. Sneakerheads can anticipate paying approximately $200 USD for men’s sizes. However, the exact cost of the pair has not yet been revealed.

While we wait for more information on the release, fans can look forward to everything 2025 has in store for the Air Jordan line, including the release of the SoleFly x Air Jordan 3, Rui Hachimura’s Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Cranes’ and the Air Jordan 1 Low OG’ Chicago.’ And remember to follow us here at Sneaker Fortress for the latest updates on Air Jordan releases and sneaker news!
