Official Air Jordan 13 Retro Thread

Dunno how my post got sandwiched in between yours like that, lol. But yeah man the 12 originally had zoom..
 
im 34 dude. And what is your source? Not trying to argue and I certainly wouldn't tell a stranger on an Internet forum to step their game up, I'm just hoping you can provide me with some credible resource..

Or are you just guessing?

I have the original taxi from 1996 and I can gladly take them apart and show you the cushion set up.
 
Also, everything else you rambled about is false as well. The carbon fiber plate in the 1996 taxi is definitely one solid piece.

The question is, how old are you pal?

Your comprehension is whats false here, pal.

Im saying the 12 should have carbon fiber where the plastic jumpman wing piece is as one continuous piece. Picture the carbon fiber plate they used but with a medial wing on the outside curling up over the side of your foot about the width of that bs plastic part.
 
Uh oh what's this?

Eastbay and other major retailers are known to mislabel and make mistakes in their product description.
 
Hold up I just put some boiling water in my originals.... gonna take them apart and drop some knowledge on ya bud.
 
And to your point about the carbon fiber lateral rand in place of the lizard emboss, that would really be a cool
Concept on paper for sure, but the foot wouldn't be able to bend at the toe thus rendering that idea conceptual at best.

One more here. I've had these since 1997 and used them to skateboard for a solid two years AFTER I degraded them from "school shoes" to "play shoes" status, lol. These are beat, but dang they don't make em like this anymore. I had to pry and pull and fight with this 20 year old glue even after pouring boiling water in them. RIP lol

Ok i stand corrected. Jesus

you had me wondering for a minute there if they had changed the tooling in the second release or something, lol. No hard feelings man, wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything, I just felt like you insulted me with the age thing. Take care man. Happy New Years!
 
I apologize on eastbay's behalf i guess lol. I owned the breds. I remember something about them not using zoom at first. I cant be the only one, ive seen it discussed here before as well. Might be the chemtrails working theirmagic on me
