Air Jordan 13 "Flint" May 30, 2020

The tongue on my pair is massive. Much longer than any 13 I’ve ever owned. Makes them feel huge. Probably going to size down on release date.
 
FL sent the notification that stores in my state (MI) would be open. So I went ahead and entered the raffle. :emoji_fingers_crossed:
 
So glad to finally own these.

Those joints creased bad the first time i wore them, they definitely were flimsy :lol:

Ahhh creasing lol I feel you man. XIII's are/were notorious for creasing even the OG's. If the newer ones don't crease as bad I'd attribute it to a synthetic but more durable leather :lol because 05's were excellent compared to what we get now lol.
 
Got my shock drop pair in and the box was crushed, ugh. Hoping to double or triple up on these when they officially drop, I've wanted these ever since the OGs dropped when I was in middle school and every time they retro'd I didn't have money. So happy to own them finally!
 
Pairs came in yesterday. One pair has a small defect on the toe box which is annoying the hell out of me. Will try to cop another pair and then return the defect pair. Good luck on the 30th for those needing a pair or two 🤙🏾
Both 2020 pairs

Hows the material feel on the newer ones? The 05s look way more premium

It's a little hard to tell to be honest. Btw mine are 2010s and not 2005s. I'd say the suede on the 2020 definitely feels more smooth compared to the 2010s. Both tongues appear similar, but the toe box of the 2010 has more of the tumbled leather look and likely why it looks more premium. I really suck though at comparing. I am sure we have more knowledgable folks here that could chime in more definitely.
 
Upset I Got stuck on that shock drop. Still have DS pair of 05's. Want to do a complete comparison. The 05's keep staring at me.. I need these on the 30th
 
The 13's are my favorite shoe of all-time. I am glad to own a ton of pairs in my collection, but one that I always wanted, but never had were the Flints. Finally, I have a pair in my collection... Still can't believe I got them from the SNKRS Shock Drop & these are even better in person than I anticipated. Will definitely try to get a 2nd and, if successful, 3rd pair as well. I hope everyone who doesn't have a pair and really wants them can get some success on release day.

no doubt about that! Don’t get me wrong, the creasing was unavoidable with the softer leather but i initially hated how my pair creased that fast. They were really comfortable though and got a lot of wear out of them
 
DAnn your guys sneak pics looking good. Hopefully an easy cop around my area, I normally hit on raffles. Already at my limit for the year with 12 pairs bought. Funny the 13th pair is 13, just dawned on me, good luck and best wishes everyone.
