AIR JORDAN XIII RETRO - ALL-STAR / PLAYOFF - 2/ 26/11 ((NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING))

its nice to hear how easy it was to cop for everyone, and how happy everyone is with their pair and not having to over pay re-sellers...if only all releases were like this, which they should be

This shoe represents MJ's final title run, its too simple to be called the best CW but thats just my opinion ppl, pls dont kill me for it. The best CW is a toss up between the white/black (CDP CW) or the black/red. again this is IMO.

Truthiness.
(everything except mj won his last title in the XIV)

retro Jordans have pretty shotttty quality, this is a given. We buy because these shoes are directly tied to memories and those memories are tied to the shoes. 
To be honest, if I didn't watch and vividly remember, as I do, MJ playing in these, I would probably pass because it is plain compared to the brons/kobes, and plain compared to the other 13 colorways.  

a few pages back,

internet tough guy...that was a good one, for real!

Ya thats true the XIV's were on his feet for the final shot and the entire finals series but Im pretty sure he wore them throughout the playoffs until the Finals....correct me if Im wrong,
PS Mods I know theres a thread for "When did MJ Wear These", but it does tie in with the Playoff 13's

I never owned these(playoffs) or the ogs(playoffs). But, I remember going to cop my friends(no longer he's a sucka) on the og release date along with my brother. I got dude an 11 and my bro got a 13. I wear a 13 and dude 11s fit me perfect. My brother 13s were like super huge. I hate the og white and red color and they were so small and hard(flexibility) that I sold them to dude who wore size 11. Good to see JB stayin consistant 12 years later. LOL!

I dunno...I can't imagine flints and playoffs being two totally different molds.Maybe you got a bad pair or UK sizing on one pair. If I remember correctly aren't you overseas??

I did the EXACT same thing. I thought they would sit like most shoes do around my city (Population: 125-150,000). The flint's and cement 3's were slept on and I figured the playoff's would be too. Called around on release date and panicked (nobody had my size). Stalked NDC and got my size.

Wow.  I love the 13's, but 1 pair is enough for me, since I hardly wear any Jordans nowadays, Kobe's are getting my attention right now.
