Kids' Jordan Retro 13 Shoes

Become the Black Cat With Kids’ Jordan Retro 13

Inspired by Michael Jordan’s secret nickname, the “Black Cat,” kids’ Jordan Retro 13 shoes kick things up a notch. This was a nickname given to Jordan by his teammates because of his stealthy moves on the court. MJ’s game was all about his incredible speed and hard drives to the net, and so are these sneakers. They mimic the appearance of a panther so your kid can feel invincible when they lace them up. Speaking of laces, they’re hidden to give the shoe a smoother feel. A quilted leather upper looks sleek and graceful like the coat of a feline, while the round hologram logo on the side looks just like a cat's eye. There’s even a paw-shaped design on the outsole so your grade school kid, preschooler, or toddler can leave their print on the court. Lace up like Jordan and use this legendary colorway to go back to the days where he ruled the court.

Fierce and Powerful

The Jordan Retro 13 for kids doesn’t just look like a panther; it also performs like one. A Phylon midsole with Zoom Air inserts offers lightweight cushioning so your child can stay comfortable without feeling weighed down. This padding helps absorb the impacts of running and jumping so your kid can stay healthy and ready to fly at any moment. Panthers are more than just fast, though. They’re also stealthy. Your child can be too with this shoe's rubber outsole, which gives them a superior grip on the ground so they can walk with confidence in every step. For little kids still in the stroller, try Retro 1 Mommy and Me shoes instead. They offer a similar vibe but for infants.

Old Meets New

Kids’ Jordan Retros are such a hit because they channel the best of classic styles and reinvigorate them for a new age. This means kids can look just like their favorite stars of the past while still staying fresh. Kids’ Jordan Retro 13, in particular, do this with its mix of materials in the upper, along with MJ’s preferred high-top silhouette. It’s a look numerous other basketball and hip-hop stars have been chasing for years, and now, your kid can have it too.

In addition to the Jordan Retro 13 for kids, newer styles, like the Jordan Eclipse, offer comfort and poise for little ones who are interested in basketball. They also come with padded collar cushions for all-day wear and a breathable tongue to help little athletes' feet vent.
