Dressed in a predominantly black and anthracite upper, The Christopher Wallace Air Jordan XIII features images and phrases that celebrate Notorious B.I.G., his legacy, and the belief and determination of the icon.
A silhouette of Wallace is featured on both tongues, and a classic red and black flannel pattern, synonymous with The Notorious B.I.G. is throughout the sock liner and insoles.
On the tongue tag, the infamous phrases “It was all a dream” and “If you don’t know, now you know”, are featured, and the word "dream" is dawned on the metal aglets.
“If you don’t know, now you know”
