Giannis Antetokounmpo is headed for his first season as a member of the Miami Heat and the entire city is excited about the new acquisition. If Giannis and Co. can lure LeBron James back to South Beach, they'll be even happier. As it is, there are a lot of Giannis' new No. 7 jerseys being sold in and outside of Miami. In case you're looking for the sneaker that goes perfectly with the new jersey, I've got you covered. Let's talk sneakers.

Where Can You Buy the Air Jordan 13 'Alternate History of Flight'?
The Alternate History of Flight dropped in 2017 and hasn't returned, so resale is the move. Clean pairs live on StockX, GOAT and Flight Club, and I broke down the where-to-buy details when it resurfaced earlier this year.
Originally $190 at retail, it sits in a reasonable resale lane for a white-on-white 13.
Why Does the Air Jordan 13 'Alternate History of Flight' Match the Miami Heat Jersey?
The math is simple. The shoe's white leather upper, University Red accents and black laces mirror the Heat's home white, which runs white with red and black trim.
There's even a franchise echo here, since the AJ13 carries Heat history through Ray Allen, whose Lucky Green 13 PE is tied to his Miami run.
How Should You Style the AJ13 With Giannis' No. 7 Heat Jersey?
Start with the jersey. Giannis swapped his career-long No. 34 for No. 7 in Miami, so grab the white home version and let its red trim talk to the shoe's accents.
One upgrade: the pair ships with black laces, so swap in red laces to pull the Heat red forward. White shorts or clean denim finishes it, the same lane as a Miami-coded Air Jordan 8.
Should You Buy the Air Jordan 13 'Alternate History of Flight' (2017)?
If you want a versatile white 13 that doubles as a Heat gameday shoe, yes. It's understated enough for everyday rotation and specific enough to nail the No. 7 fit.
It won't shout like a He Got Game 13, but that restraint is the point. Cop it, lace it red, wear it to the arena. Rinse and repeat.
