My dad bought me these shoes in 98. My dad died a few months ago….I’m going to try like hell to buy them again because it makes me feel close to him. RIP dad thanks for the memories.

MJ is exactly two weeks older than me. Our mothers were pregnant with us at the same time. So, I feel a connection with him. These are a grail for me. I had to have them.

I'm a og at 52 and was fortunate enough to cop every original pair of Jordan's from the 1's to the 14's except for the 2's which I finally copped back in December. So glad to have copped these 13's. So glad Nike and Jordan brand have been doing their best to get these Jay's as true to the original og colorways as possible. Brings back alot of great memories. Awesome video and review!😁👍

Correction: MJ rocked those not only in the All-Star Game but he wore them every home game throughout the 1998 postseason and he wore the Breds on the road. The Playoff 13’s are my favorite 13’s off all time. Thankfully I doubled up 😊😊, another great video as always bro! ✊🏾👍🏾

Nike and JB have been getting better every year at doing these remastered retros justice. Especially last year with the fire red 3s. Looking at these and seeing the way the white cement 3s are turning out, it’s only getting better 🔥🔥🔥

The main problem is that they went for performance back then and not fashion, they just happened to be fashionable too

THX FOR THE HISTORY LESSONS... FIRE VIDEO BRO!

Great timing! Mine just came in today 🙌 just opened the box and saw the notification about your video. I'll enjoy it as I get my first in-hand impression of these 😁

This is an excellent video. A perfect review and comparison. Well done.

For me,the 13 is my all time favorite Air Jordan. It doesn't matter on all 3 of these pairs,I'll take either one. I hope they never stop retroing all color ways of the 13! I'm up to 7 different colors of this classic Air Jordan.

Best video out there on the Jordan 13 Playoff retros ... thanks for the upload.

Really appreciate your comparison videos! Couldn't wait for these to come back, was able to grab 2 pairs. Still have my OG pair as well.

$212.80 is the same purchasing power that $160 had in 2011. I know, it seems steep, but it is in line with inflation etc... But man do I LOVE THESE SNEAKERS! So glad I was able to cop for retail from undefeated. I remember watching MJ play in these back in 8th grade so it was a no brainer, plus they look sexy good.

Great video and overview over this entire shoe and history great job bro.

On point! My last year of hs the last shots were my go too’s these were my junior year ones.

Was my first Js 1st pair during the 98 and when I saw them release these 2023 l’ve waited them to release, so yeah I got 1 for myself can’t wait and ao excited after more than 2 decades I’m going to rock them again

nice. always cool seeing vids like these. salute on owning the ogs 🤝

Hello "mjo23dan"! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful video! I feel so happy! I'm looking forward to your next work! Have a nice day!

great vid brodie! can't believe they waited this long to release a playoff retro but I'm not complaining these look fantastic next to the OG, can't wait for mine to come in

Well presented, as well as well told through the lens of basketball history and presented the legend of basketball shoes

I scored a dub on the shock drop these most def a dbl up, I be looking forward to your videos, keep up the good work😎😎💯💯

great video bro, just got my pair today!

Great info and video as always Marv!

Awesome vid! I won’t be picking these up but they’re super dope!

Great comparison vid

Hit the shock drop , first time owning these . Had wanted a pair since 2011 release . Really enjoyed this comparison!

Yezzir! The review we all needed

Great review. New Sub. Circled Jumpman logo resembles me of the Mercedes symbol.. got mine today.

Great video I copped the recent playoff 13's 🔥

Loved the review bro. Just subscribed to your channel. I’ve never been a huge fan of the 13s but this is my absolute favorite color way and I couldn’t wait to cop a pair. Your collection and knowledge of Jordan’s is extremely impressive and I look forward to more great content. Much love 🫡

Happy to own this pair with the shock drop. Growing up watching MJ and dreamed of owning a pair, made it happen.

Marvin I agree with you about school thing... Me and my homie cut school in 8th grade to try get these but took an L. Copped in 2011 but I truly believe this was the sneaker that pushed Jordans to release on Saturdays. I also have that SLAM mag

Yeah definitely a lot closer to the og. Definitely a must cop.

They Did Good On 2023 Pair But I Want The 1998 Pair Just Copped The OG Black/Red XIII Yesterday Along With Varsity Royal XIV Lows From 1999...Nice Pick Up & Good Comparison Marv

I got these on my first shock drop W. I have multiple pairs of 13’s and I was really debating on getting these, as I already have the black cats and the altitudes. But seeing a video like this all makes it worth it.

I graduated in 2000 and i was one of those kids that skipped first to go cop my pairs. I remember me and the crew walking into a thing we had called lock out with the new Js on feet, lock out it’s a place you go when you are late to school or class .

This is a great comparison, this is the very first Jordan I got when I was 16 in 1998

Good stuff 🫡

I can't believe how you have all 3. That is so crazy. I freaking love you

I got early access from sneakers app and they look better than expected. Aiming for a second pair this weekend

Like always good review and good comparison keep up the good work.

West Coast was mainly Chick's Sporting Goods and Sports Authority, if it weren't the foot stores in the mall to cop.

Yeah I believe you. If anyone went over the details of these pairs with a fine tooth comb it’s you. Appreciate the video. A++ The $160 in 2011 is equal to $212.80 today according to google

Fantastic comparison...🤘🏼💯✔️ When do you think that they'll re-release the He Got Game versions again...❓️❓️❓️

The Cardinal 7s was the last retro that I was happy to get I need these, the playoff 13s are my favorite 13s

I had the OG All Star/Playoff in 98 I still have my Retro pair from 2011 this is my favorite OG Jordan 13 colorway

Spray some mink oil on the suede upper. That will prevent cracking. I put it on my 2011 pair and they look brand new.

These and the cardinal 7s were my first two jordans as a Lil kid

The neon yellow circle on the bottoms is just a shame. The dark yellow of the OGs is supposed to fit the circle on the tongue. The only thing I really hate about Jordan Brand making original colorways is that they always do something different, may it be colors or shapes.

Wow , about time they made a good 13 shoe … shape and quality on point 👌🏼👌🏼… hope they continue to make good 13s like these ..

I can't wait to see if you review the air jordan xx3 year of the rabbit

ohh the memories….I was gifted a pair of these on my birthday. Big bro and dad woke me up with that silver box in-hand. Years later and I can’t wait to grab another pair. I vividly remember the leather quality on these, being on point.

I picked mine up today from Finishline with early access. I’m not even planning on wearing them anytime soon. I just felt like I had to have them as a lifelong Michael Jordan fan.

Never had 13s but I really want this pair 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Damn man nice collection

They did a really good job with these, but the shape is still a little on the skinny side compared to the ogs. I'm a fan of the beefy slope shape, so that's always my gripe on the retros except the for the Jordan 1/11.

I like the tongue on the OG a little bit better. It just hide behind and doesn’t pop out from the back like broth retros

Definitely can’t wait to get these in hand. I would still love for them to retro the Neutral Greys and the 2004 White/Wheat pair though…

Adjusted for inflation, the 2011 AJ13 would cost $212.80 today.

I have doubled up on 12 playoffs and these...just so I can have a peace of mind start wearing them.

Great review! You earned a new sub!

About the price, of course it is much more expensive compared to before. $50 more is a lot I think. But it makes sense with the price increase. Right now, everything is expensive unfortunately. I paid 160€ or 170€ in 2011, and today 210€. Wow

2016-17 i worked at footlocker & was surprised when i saw some retros go for $220 (230+ after tax) n they would sit hard. 210 now is just dumb and another reason i stopped buying them retail fr.

Given the rate of inflation, $160 in 2011 would be approximately $212 in 2023 (today). Nice comparisons! Love this shoe and happy that its not "hyped" so its much easier to get!

Only 32 seconds into the video the overhead view of the toe boxes says it all you can see the difference between the synthetic leather toe boxes and the real ones very easily

🔥🔥🔥

Might have to double up since I hit on the shock drop and have been rocking them since

My brother that is the year I graduated as well...we getting up there🤦🏾‍♂️ lol

Excited to finally be getting these missed out on last release

Bro I legit get so giddy when I see a new video of yours pop up.

I was born in 1980, growing up watching the one and only G.O.A.T

I agree I don’t like them in the curve banana shape I like them in the original shape which is the straight slanted shape.

Damn man you have my dream collection no hype shit just of colors and sneakers

I had a chance to play bball in the 2011's as a 21 year old & 13s are the best Jordans to play in

15:03 I messed with that as a kid. It’s glued and stitched.

I just got lucky and found a pair in store for only 225$ I been wanting these shoes for years and I had most of the 13s 💯👍🏿💪🏿

You’re definitely an o.g. Sneaker head you remember those Wednesday drops

Good job, bruh, but you forgot to mention the part about the yellow circle being bigger on the og and the 2023 as well

I missed the 98 pair but I had multiple pairs of the 2011 and 4 pairs of the 2023 pair.

GOAT is coming back

bro. i still have the slam magazine of this playoff13 wayback in 1998

2:01 yessir!!! Skipping school, playing hookie. Then they moved release dates to Saturday.

So my story with this shoe goes back to when I was graduating from high school. I did get a new pair of Air Jordan 13's as a graduation gift from my parents. The Playoff scheme showcased here wasn't available at the time in my size so I got the Breds instead. Wonderful shoe in its own right. In 2011 when Jordan re-released the 13 Playoffs I gave it my best shot to get a pair as they were the Jordan I missed out when I graduated. Succeeded and have them to this day in mostly wearable condition. When I found out the 13 Playoffs were releasing again I got a pair on Saturday from the SNKRS app and they're arriving tomorrow. The Air Jordan 13 was the 1st pair I ever got growing up and are 1 of my favorite models as a whole in my collection. I've owned the Black Toe, Breds and Playoffs. They are such an awesome shoe. Well, there's my thought and until next time I am out!

Class of ‘98 stand up!

JUST A BUT OF INFO. THE SHOE IS INSPIRED BY REFERENCE MIKE AS BLACK CAT. (PANTHER). The print on leather mimicking panther coat. The HOLOGRAM IS THE EYE AS WELL AS THE SOLE AND THE SOLE IS THE PAW PRINT OF PANTHER HENCE THE SHINY COAT IT MAKES SENSE

In 98 I had an accident on my dirt bike with these on. I was put in a helicopter and all I remember was when I got out of the hospital. I looked at my shoes and realized how messed up they were like. Damn I know I shouldn’t be wearing them riding anyway but I wanted to look good riding so this was a must cop

Just got them on Nike! 🎉

But the negatives made the jordan what it was because it wasn’t always prestige like these new school jordans , I use to love the imperfections on the jumpman and on the shoe overall, it just showed me that timing wasn’t a factor for them because on alot of the retros they basically corrected all of their mistakes especially with the jordan 11 , you yourself pointed out a different in the inside stitching , it was the flaws that separates the og from the retros even til this day

Bro mine had all kind of glue stains on the midsole suede

Colors, materials & the way these are made change because they’re so far apart from one another! Manufacturers change, materials change or they can’t get the same materials as they did 8-25yrs earlier! Plus some of the machines that make certain things or cut leather a certain way, break down over years of use. Same with the tooling that cuts or shapes something a certain way. They break down over time & machines get changed out & the tooling goes with them! That’s why there’s little differences, especially from a shoe made in 98 to one made in 2023. ✌🏻

Really nice review. How do they compare in terms of feeling? How is the padding inside, which one feels better? I am sure the OG has a different forefoot zoom air shape (much wider) that they don't use anymore.

I got them on the shock drop an I just got them 2 days ago 😂

🤦🏾‍♂️Crazy the first release you was graduating. The second release I was graduating🤦🏾‍♂️😂 class of 2011

Is there anything on the back of the OG small yellow Jordan tag? TY

The one real change/mistake is the hologram on the outsole being antifreeze instead of yellow like the OG.

I Can appreciate these they look like good basketball shoes for on the court but for casual wear no not for me. I'm glad i don't like 13s otherwise I'll spend too much

Still have my 2011’s still in that stock condition. I don’t think I’m gonna get 2023

First question, I don't believe you. I'll get back after the vid. So, after watching I'd say your right. My main concern was the leather on the toe. I was hoping you got this video out before the release so we could see the toes. Thank you for the review.

They look good.. they just feel a lot cheaper.
