Quick question...When the Air Jordan 13s came out, only the Black/White/Red colorway had a circle on the tongue, why is that? was there any significance tothis circle? I remember it being around 97/98 but I don't remember when he wore them. Were they worn during the playoffs or regular season? I picked up apair recently and I've been curious... pics so no one confuses it with the White/Black colorway

No idea why this is the only pair that has circle on it.
 
If you notice, there were Sonics pants at the back of the first picture.
So, it's the All-Star Game.
Ah.... Here comes the pictures quoting again..
"Those XIIIs are hot", "nice", "I need these".
 
i hope they dont quote pics, i just want info, thanks INDOHAN, im drooling over the badges on the jerseys....miss the old days
 
another question, I've seen people refer to the grey/navy color way as the all-stars, was that for the following year?
 
I think this is his last All-Star game as a Bulls. No?
He retired the following year.

Are you refering to these:

Early samples didn't have the circle around the Jumpman. Aside from the different colored lining and side panels these were pretty similar to
the first colorway, so the circle may simply have been added to differentiate them.

they need to retro these pronto! for a quick second i thought these were 6 rings at first due to the circle. Silly me
 
i always wondered the same thing. a while back i tried to research it and came up with nada. maybe some of the OG's in here would know but i doubt theywould care to come in here and share.

on the subject of XIII's i got a question for anyone who knows. does anybody know where i can find hologram covers? on 2 of my XIII's the plastic iscomin off and i wana replace them. any help would be appreciated....
 
all i can remember is that these are dubbed "playoff XIIIs"...which should imply that he only wore these in the playoffs...but that pic of kobe andhim looks inaccurate because they would never meet in the playoffs... so now i'm confused...

1998 was a phenomenal season for Michael Jordan, starting with the NBA All Star game and Playoffs. During this period Jordan wore and loved the AirJordan Original 13 (XIII) Black / True Red - White aka Playoff.

Although the Air Jordan 13 (XIII) Original Playoff Black / True Red - White was known for Michael Jordan dominating the Playoffs, MJactually wore this pair during the 1998 All Star games. Releasing to the public in 1997, with a retail price of $150.
