Our take on the Air Jordan 13 Retro 'Cap and Gown'

The Air Jordan 13 Retro is a reissue of the 1997 Tinker Hatfield design, built on a panther-inspired silhouette with a paw-like outsole and a hologram disc at the ankle. This edition pairs black patent leather with nubuck for a dressier, tonal look than most colorways. It is a lifestyle and collector shoe more than a modern performance basketball one: the Zoom Air cushioning and mid-cut collar still play, but the patent leather creases and the shoe is heavier than today's knit uppers. Buyers of 13s generally rate the retro for its comfortable cushioning and standout shape, while flagging stiffness out of the box and the care patent leather needs.

Questions and answers

Is the Air Jordan 13 Retro good for playing basketball?
It can be played in. The Zoom Air cushioning and paw outsole give decent support and traction, but it is heavier and less breathable than current performance models. Most buyers wear it casually.
How does the 'Cap and Gown' colorway differ from other Jordan 13s?
It uses black patent leather with black nubuck and a tonal hologram, giving a dressier, nearly all-black look. Most other 13 retros use brighter, two-tone color blocking.
Does the Air Jordan 13 Retro fit true to size?
It generally fits true to length, but the midfoot runs snug. Wearers with wide feet often go up half a size.
How should I care for the patent leather and nubuck?
Wipe patent panels with a soft damp cloth and keep nubuck away from water. Use a nubuck brush for dirt and store the shoes away from direct sun to limit yellowing.
What is the hologram on the Air Jordan 13?
It is a round iridescent disc on the outer ankle, a design nod to a panther's eye. On this colorway it is finished in tonal black.
Where is the Air Jordan 13 Retro 'Cap and Gown' cheapest?
