After learning of a potential Air Jordan 13 “Tinker,” we recently received a first look at Jordan Brand’s upcoming sketch-inspired shoe.

Part of the Nike Basketball offshoot’s continuing retro strategy, the Air Jordan 13 “Tinker” serves to connect one of Tinker Hatfield’s original sketches with an iconic Michael Jordan court moment. Based on an original sketch done by the legendary sneaker designer back in 1996, the alternate model features a low cut profile accented by a dimpled nylon upper and a distinct midfoot strap. While a paw-inspired outsole and a triangularly-shaped Jumpman jewel round up the design of the shoe.

No official release notes just yet, but rumors are noting a potential fall release for the “Tinker” Air Jordan 13s.

In case you missed it, take a detailed look at the Virgil Abloh x Air Jordan 1 “UNC.”
