The Air Jordan 13 ‘He Got Game’ is Official, But Jordan Brand Won’t Call It That

The Air Jordan 13 ‘He Got Game’ will release once again in 2018 but it has a new name this time.

And by new name, we mean color name, because the 2018 Air Jordan 13 ‘He Got Game’ is being dubbed simply the Jordan 13 White/Black/True Red’. According to Jordan Brand, the shoe appeared on the big screen “in a blockbuster film,” but it seems like the brand didn’t or couldn’t secure the rights to use the film’s name.

Although the Air Jordan 13 debuted in 1997 as the first Air Jordan model to release under the then-newly minted Brand Jordan, the Air Jordan 13 ‘He Got Game’ received its nickname after Spike Lee’s 1998 film He Got Game released; it starred Denzel Washington, Ray Allen, and Milla Jovovich, and was a box office flop when it hit theaters (even though critics loved it).

The Air Jordan 13 ‘He Got Game’ will release in time for back to school on August 25. It will retail for $190.
