Panther paws
Hatfield kept on making original designs. The XIII's featured a nice hologram on the ankle and the design was said to be inspired by a panther. The outsole with pads like a paw and circles representing whiskers.

The hologram showed the following images;
- A basketball
- The number 23
- The jumpman logo

Two different low-top colors were also released to the public. These without the hologram.

Crappy variants
Most of the previous models had been produced in Taiwan but XII took the step to China and XIII was also produced in China. It's weird but this made fakes or so called factory variants of AJ's very common, seems as if the factory really knew that this was a product that they could make money on.

The fakes usually had awful color combinations and the quality was far from satisfying.
