As far as I can remember all new Jordan~era models dropped Mid Season (NBA Season that is) through the VIII...I think it was the IX that started dropping in the fall...The VIII and the IX both premiered in 93' if my recollection is correct...This was likely due to Nike wanting to put out the new model Jordan as soon as possible following MJ's first retirement announcement...The X, which really wasn't supposed to even release save for Tinker pushing to get them out as a celebration shoe to honor MJ's career, followed suite and was intended to be last of the Jordan line...XI, XII, XIII, and XVI all just stuck with this trend...
All Jordan~era models from the IX dropped in the fall...
Can't really comment on models that released after MJ retired for the second time including when he played for the Wizards...
EDIT~
blco is right...I do remember the XVI dropping around All Star Weekend...
So X, XI, XII, XIII were all fall releases with the XVI resetting to the original NBA Mid-Season release...
