Jordan Retro 13 "He Got Game" August 4th 2018 *UPDATED*

[HellRazor1978]

I never had the CDPs but I can tell you this release is exceedingly comfortable for a retro Jordan. I've walked miles in them happily. Zoom is actually bouncy. Great retro.

Yea I’ve always found 13’s to be incredibly comfortable. I’m really considering just pulling the trigger so I can sell the cdp’s because I don’t really want the packs in my collection anymore, and the shadow 10’s aren’t a huge loss for me.

TBH sell both and get the 2018 of each and call it a day if you want hah

How are the quality of these compared with the CDP’s? My guess is that these are superior since it seems more recently retros are usually better than stuff from back then?

We had this discussion a while back. Cdp release are superior in every way to this release.

Yup, black toe 13s are flat out sick. One of my favorites by far.

They look soooo clean in that pic. Really making me fiend for my pair from stockX to arrive but I got at least a week if not more.

I bought two pairs on release day. Zero regrets.

After getting a pair of 2018’s in today and comparing them to the cdp, I see virtually no difference in quality between the two.

I actually like those. The black makes them look more sinister and without the white the red really pops.

I don't have the CDPs to compare them to. The people who said that were, if I recall correctly, mostly focused on the toe box shape and leather differences. Supposedly the CDP still featured the more slanted toe with the soft leather, which I will admit does seem appealing. But back when I had shoes that got creased badly and looked a certain way after a while, I didn't like that, either. So it's somewhat of a tossup for me.

If you have both in hand and can’t see the difference in quality then I would probably hit up the eye doctor. The 2018 retro wasn’t the worst, but the difference between the 2 is night and day.

I definitely notice these being considerably more comfortable than past retro 13 releases.

Dug the old thread up just for kicks. Wore these all day. Damn they feel good. Was actually with my wife and daughter getting shoes for her at the very mall I bought these originally in 97.

This was another solid retro, wish I would've grabbed a backup when they were retail and under. One of my fav Js, and they do feel good on foot.

Not knocking your opinion or thought, but what previous 13s are you basing this off?

 

[ABAfliggy]

A pair of V's would be realistic, module in this fashion.

So glad I bought two on release day. Still love these as much as I did on day 1. Still reach for them all the time.

The retros from 2010.
