Air Jordan XIII - Flint colorway to drop November 2010 (via Kicksonfire.com)

[jumpmanfromdabay]

I Copped off FNL.com & it says its possessing. Anybody else have that?

 

[ddw254]

Exactly, I went to the mall at about 8:30 copped and went to work shortly thereafter. I have 05 retros as well but wanted to cop another pair and didnt want to to pay 05 prices. Guy at the mall said he only had small sizes left, thank God i am a 8.5. 

 

[sthebest]

so does anywho who has both think the 2010s are more comfortable than the 2005s?

 

[ajays23]

Can someone tell me what is the difference on gs sizes with the men sizes?

 

[optimusp517]

I think they feel great, I'd probably give a zoom air unit a shot and see what the difference would feel like.

 

[deuces213]

So Nike has hit a new low and no I'm not talking about quality, I was actually pleased with the quality of these Flints....

I walk in to the Niketown PORTLAND and ask to try a pair on, and they tell me I can't. They actually say Nike isn't letting anyone try on new Jordan releases from now on due to the chance of them creasing. The customers around me had the same look on their face as I; complete shock. I laughed and was like are you serious? The dude then asked the manager and made an exception, but as a loyal customer to Nike for years it was more than that, it was just an all around complete insult.

 

[dc sounds]

Got em and I love them. I'm class of 2002 (high school), these came out around freshman/sophomore year when life was a lot simpler and a pair of shoes meant so much more to me than they do today, brings back memories. Congrats to everyone who got a pair who feels the same way.
My thoughts on the 3M: At first sight I was a little bit disgruntled with the lack of 3M- wasn't a true retro of the original release and just another "retro +" model since the 3M really defines this colorway and was what made the shoe pop back in the 90's. But after a day or so of wearing them, I kinda welcome the lack of the 3M.....I'm 26 years old now, wear business suits Monday through Friday and try to maybe squeeze my Jordans on the weekend..... it goes without saying that my wardrobe is a lot more subtle than it was when I was in high school. When I look at the 2010 retro, the blue/flint grey white colorway that made this shoe such a great casual wear Jordan is still there, I think no other Jordan looks better with denim.....and I love the fact that the lack of 3M doesn't make me look 15 years old anymore. Don't get me wrong I still got love for the 3M and honestly the nostalgic factor is kinda lost with the lack of 3M, but at this stage of my life I like the shoe better as is.....*shrug*.

[dj proto j]

c'mon guys, i know somebody can give me a comparison on how these fit compared to 2005's?

same, 1/2 size bigger, what?

 

[kob8]

Went to a few malls in So Cal Friday and Saturday and pretty much every strore said they sold out....
Got lucky late this evening and found a store that had 2 pairs left and one was my size....

This is one of the best colorways 3m or not......

 

[crbeezy]

How is this the wrong thread? 

Cool Greys has its own topic section

 i believe this one is for the Flint XIIIs

  

Yo he's not saying that he got shipping confirmation on da cool grays, he's saying he got shipping confirmation for da flints, and now he's ready to cop the cool grays. You should really look over someones post before you comment on it, u made an @ss out of ur self.

lol, that's exactly what  I meant, got my shipping confirmation for my Flints, now on to the Cool Greys, I guess you wanted to look cool for the minute edunpeal, no harm done.

so My cousin bought a size 12 for her boyfriend. He doesn't like them so she went back and tried to return them.
The manager said that they're not allowed to issue returns, store credit, or anything else on JB retros.
I know thats not right so Ima have to go and argue with him tomorrow. Dont feel like fighting too much,
So does anyone know a way to just force him to return them?
any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

i know some footactions wear i live.if you buy retros they wont let you return them unless theres something defective on the shoes.wich i think is bs they should let u return them if he doesnt whant them

  

   I'm sure someones looking for that size, sell it for retail.

What store did she cop them from??? and it better not be that LAMEASSSSSSSSS FINISH LINE IN OAKRIDGE MALL.

Naw, from foot locker in eastridge.

I was working at finishline last year and I have a little insight. A lot of times the store is trying to make budget or sell out of the jays as quickly as possible to make sure they make day and set themselves up for more pairs of the better releases. Usually they can take a return a few days later because they want to just at least show their allotment has been liquidated the first few days. If you return is urgent...ask for a manager FIRST then if after showing your product they deny your return for some made up reason, call customer service IN-STORE usually after explaining the situation CC will either call the store and ask why they denied return policy and or notify their DSM at that time who usually will force a return on your part...a little bit of a process, but that's how its done. Make sure shoe's are DS (so if he tried them on on a dirty floor then dust the outsole off) for best results as this is a within policy reason to deny returns. Hope it works out for you.

I'm 22 and I concur, dudes in here are dying because JB skipped the 3m but for me I don't care becauseI honestly just want a White/ Grey an d Blue Jordan (outside of my True Blues) that problem is now solved.

the flints were my first pair of jordans, my boy gave them to me when the 14's came out. i was around 10 and even though those flints were BEEEEAT i was just so amped to have some Jordans

so you already know i had to get these since i missed out on the 05 release.

 

[loskickking23]

I passed on these , but congrats to everybody that's happy with there pair!

That is why you never listen to a NT'er's claims of availability.

 they didn't sell out though

You freaking moron, of course they won't sell out everywhere.

Jesus!!

  

 

[ELTORO84]

I didn't know Memorial City Mall in Houston allowed sneakers store to open at midnight. Must of been a Black Friday only event. I went there at 5:00AM and the Flints were gone in every single spot.

^^^conformist^^^ the 3m not there proly cuz it cost to much. smh at subtle look, if you wanna have a subtle wordrobe stop wearing jordans. most jordans are supposed to stand out as do the xiii's w/ or w/ out the 3m. c'mon dude dont justify why you choose to get them anyway based on your initial reaction.

 

[swolehouse]

I was very happy with my flints like many my only complaint was the lack of strong 3m. Overall I was satisfied............Then I found DS OG Black/True Red XIIIs for $215 shipped. So I just returned the Flints lol.
