In 1997, Michael Jordan rocked the Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game.” However, it gained even more fame when Jake Shuttlesworth (Denzel Washington), father of the top-ranked basketball prospect in the country, Jesus Shuttlesworth (Ray Allen), laced them up in Spike Lee's 1998 film of the same name.

Take a good look at the woven label attached to the top of the tongue. Counterfeit Jordans may not have a circle with the registered “R” trademark, while Nike's original shoes use a doubled “R” on that tag. Embroidery should not be too thick or too thin. There should be no bulging or protruding threads or “bald” spots.

The shoe was released as a retro in 2004, with new limited colorways in high and low top versions for men and women—and again in 2006, 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
