It looks like they revised the Court Purple XIII with the 3M detail on the sides now.

Dope cw but the craftsmanship on this pair looks horrible. Look at the shape of the area by the cat eyes:

Thank you so much for this JB. I was so disappointed by the original photos. They must've heard the backlash

Sheeshhh

This is the last 13 I’m buying until they put way better leather on them and fix the shape and tongue. I’m tired of JB‘s disrespect of the 13. They piss me off.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I would love A Ma Maniere to bring the 13 back to its plushness. I’m putting that out there. Hope my dream happens.

You still should’ve just bought the 2018 black toes …

You are right about that.

 

[rainking]

You are right about that.

I tried to tell ya at the time
I remember some other people here semi-mocking my enthusiasm for them, calling that release a fail etc.
Seems funny now …

I was one of the first people in Footlocker to secure them and it was a friend that worked there that stopped me before I went to Finish Line. Also, they were $190 exactly due to them releasing on tax free weekend.

The 2018 black toes are a pretty acceptable retro IMO. The comfort and cushioning is there on them, and they made some small improvement over previous retro 13s like upgrading the insole.

I was wearing mine in the rotation for a little while and really liked them. I think those and the flints are both good retros compared to the previous 10 years.

think that's going to be no from me

$200 for this ?

I'd actually dig those if they were just white/black instead of that goofy green color. Like basically a black-toe low. I don't mind the different pattern on the upper panel.

What about the no suede/nubuck on the midsole?

I seriously don't know the level of likability for XIII low-tops with Jordan Brand enthusiasts after all these years. I definitely don't like them myself. I always associate classic Jordan models with mid-top cut predicated on how I always saw MJ wearing them that way on court during the apexes of both of his legendary stints with the Bulls.

With all that said, the only low-top Jordans I will ever like are the XI. And I'm glad the Concord XI from 2014 and Georgetown XI from 2015 are the only two low-top XI I have in my possession. My affinity for low-top XI stemmed from seeing Jordan wear the Concord XI low with his street clothes at the 1996 championship parade.

Those lows are trash IMO

Yeah the lack of suede is stupid. Oh well, wasn’t buying either way.

I like some of the lows. MJ had more than a few PE lows on the court. I was always annoyed we couldn’t get them at the time. But XI lows definitely best to me, too.
