Jordan Brand is shaking up its 2026 lineup with the return of the Air Jordan 13 ‘True Red/Chicago,’ replacing the previously rumored re-release of the iconic ‘He Got Game’ colorway. The ‘True Red/Chicago’ colorway revives a classic Bulls-inspired look with a predominantly white leather upper, red suede overlays, and black detailing. While the ‘He Got Game’ was initially expected to make its fifth appearance, Jordan Brand has instead opted to bring back this alternate OG colorway, which was last released in 2017.
Over the past few years, Jordan Brand has been strategically reintroducing some of its most celebrated Air Jordan models, staying true to their original designs while tapping into the growing nostalgia for late-’90s and early-2000s sneakers. While the ‘He Got Game’ remains one of the most recognizable Air Jordan 13s—thanks to its connection to the 1998 Spike Lee film—it seems Jordan Brand is aiming to diversify its retro offerings with the ‘True Red/Chicago’ instead. This unexpected change has sparked conversation among sneakerheads. However, fans of the Air Jordan 13 are in for a treat regardless.
Mark your calendars as the Air Jordan 13 ‘True Red/Chicago’ releases in spring 2026.
