According to sneaker leaker social media account @soleheatonfeet, the “Gym Red/Flint Grey-White-Black” makeup of NBA icon Michael Jordan’s 13th signature basketball sneaker has a targeted launch date of late spring ’21. Early images for the unreleased colorway have not yet surfaced, however a mock-up depiction provided by Instagram account @zSneakerheadz shows a predominately red upper with a soft suede underlay serving as the heel counter contrasted by a white tongue and leather toe box. Additional details include the holographic eye logo on the ankle collar and the tooling that resembles a panther paw as a nod to MJ’s “Black Cat” nickname boasting a carbon fiber plate and Zoom Air cushioning to give wearers agility on the court.
