The Black Cat: A History of Air Jordan 13

2 жыл бұрын

The Air Jordan 13 is the sneaker Michael Jordan SHOULD have won his 6th championship in but unfortunately, that wasn't in the cards for us. That doesn't make the Air Jordan 13 any iconic though. Inspired by Michael Jordan's black panther like instincts on the basketball court, the Air Jordan 13 is loved by sneakerheads all over the world. Tinker Hatfield at as a designer nailed this sneaker and the inspiration and history behind it is amazing. In this video we breakdown the origins of the Air Jordan 13 for your viewing pleasure. Hope you guys enjoy! -Bryan

This was the shoe that made me fall in love with Jordans as a kid. Still my favorite silhouette to this day!

@allensmith9879 2 жыл бұрын

The 13s are insanely comfortable even by these days standards, even the midsole has suede on it. They make that puffy scrunching sound when your walking in them as well that is oddly satisfying. I wish they would do some all black leather and red suede 13s at some point.

I love the 13, and they do have a signature moment: his All-Star game where he battled Kobe in MSG and won All-Star MVP. A fun and relaxing game to rewatch. That was actually the first game for the playoff 13s, same as the 12. They debuted in the all star game.

Love it. The XIII was my first jordan. I think you should have mentioned Mike Bibby Low PE's, but that's a personal bias because you covered a lot of major releases. It's sad that there is no iconic moment for the 13, and how the last shot could have been in the 13's. It's iconic that it is the beginning of the Jumpman brand and how it debuted on Halloween!

I got my Flint Red as my first AJ13 by random chance through a raffle. While it was widely available in retails, I enjoy it and noticed that it was significantly lighter than the rest of the lineup. I like how organic the aesthetics look in comparison to the classier AJ11 and Aj12. A different evolution, and cool!
