Friday the 13th<\/strong> is widely considered to be an unlucky day where freaky events occur. The Air Jordan 13 doesn’t seem to be unlucky, since Michael Jordan<\/strong> wore the model all season en route to his 6th NBA Championship, but it does have some freaky and unexpected moments. Even though the sleek silhouette with the hologram has been a consistent sight on and off the court since its 1997 release, its tenure hasn’t been without a few unpredictable occurrences.<\/p>\n

Let us know what you think is the most unexpected in the comment section at the bottom of the page, and keep investigating Snkrs Day for everything sneakers.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 Low PE: Michael Jordan<\/h2>\n

Right before Michael Jordan<\/strong> hit the “Last Shot” in the Air Jordan 14, he laced up a rare Air Jordan 13 Low PE<\/strong>. Donning a “Playoff” 13 with a haircut against the Pacers, and an all-black Low 13 with a red bottom against the Jazz, MJ got freaky and went on to win his second three-peat.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 High PE: Warren Sapp<\/h2>\n

Possibly the freakiest flip of the Air Jordan 13 came in the form of Warren Sapp’s PE<\/strong>. PEs are common, even back in the early 2000s, but rarely are models altered in any different way. The Oakland Raider’s version removed the hologram and extended the upper an extra couple of inches to create a completely new version of the AJ 13.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13: Dirk Nowitzki<\/h2>\n

It’s weird to see Dirk Nowitzki<\/strong> in anything other than team Nikes, but early on the German gunner was a big fan of the Air Jordan 13. Seen in almost every original colorway, Dirk even rocked the white\/red style code with his green and blue Mavericks<\/strong> kit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 Samples: Gentry Humphrey<\/h2>\n

One of Jordan Brand’s most notable personalities has always been the receiver of industry jealousy for his rare samples and exclusive sneakers. Gentry Humphrey<\/strong> has been spotted in a Premio BIN 23 Sample<\/strong> and another maroon printed sample of the Air Jordan 13.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 PE: Ray Allen<\/h2>\n

Air Jordan 13 PEs aren’t a rare sight in the NBA. Many Jordan Brand members from Richard Hamilton to Quentin Richardson have been blessed with exclusive 13s, but Ray Allen<\/strong> whipped his pair back out for a special occasion. With the NBA’s 3-point record in his sights, Sugar Ray decided to have his memorable night in a clean white\/green colorway. He also warmed up in a mismatch Air Jordan 11 “Championship” PE<\/strong> and the Air Jordan 9 “BIN 23”<\/strong> to boot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 PE: Kansas Jayhawks<\/h2>\n

Special edition AJ 13s have also been cooked up for some of Jordan Brand’s sponsored college teams, but this Kansas Air Jordan 13<\/strong> was unexpected. North Carolina is assumed, but as a Nike school it was freaky to see Keith Langford and the Jayhawks with Jordan 13 PEs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 Low: Friends<\/em> (Ross)<\/h2>\n

Not known for his sneakers, Ross<\/strong> from Friends<\/em> might have worn this classic Air Jordan 13 low in the navy colorway on a Friday the 13th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 Mache Customs: Nate Robinson<\/h2>\n

Nate Robinson<\/strong> has been a Kicks On Court<\/a> championship contender for years, publicly expressing his love for the Air Jordan 13. Straying away from his trusty “Playoff” AJ 13, Nate Rob whipped out a pair of red Mache-created custom 13s in the 2013 NBA Playoffs. He then laced his other pair of customs in the Jamal Crawford Pro-Am this summer in Seattle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 PE: Gilbert Arenas<\/h2>\n

Air Jordan 13 PEs<\/strong> were a mainstay in Orlando for a while, with Quentin Richardson donning multiple colorways, but the most surprising came when Gilbert Arenas<\/strong> came out in a never-before-seen pair. It’s freaky, because Gil Zero has never been a Jordan Brand member.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 Low PE: Mike Bibby<\/h2>\n

Different from Bobby Simmons or Gerald Wallace’s PEs, Mike Bibby<\/strong> was the only person to have low-top Air Jordan 13 PEs<\/strong>. Documented as a low-top enthusiast, Bibby has been given multiple colorways to match multiple jerseys.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 PE Cleats: Baseball<\/h2>\n

Jordan Brand<\/strong> cleats have been in the NFL for a while, but original Air Jordans for the diamond are relatively new. Completely unique is the pair of David Price’s<\/strong> PE shown above, which is set on top of a turf outsole.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unreleased Air Jordan 13: Sole Provider<\/h2>\n

Scoop Jackson’s Sole Provider<\/strong> book is the encyclopedia of sneakers up to 2002. Freaky because this colorway of the Air Jordan 13 was included in a reputable, published book, but never saw retail.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 13 PE: Dwyane Wade<\/h2>\n

D-Wade<\/strong> wore retro Jordans on court when he first joined Jordan Brand, and before his signature sneaker was around. Very similar to the black\/red AJ 13, only with Heat-yellow accents, it’s freaky that this smooth PE never made it out of training camp.<\/p>\n
