Jordan Retro 13 "He Got Game" August 4th 2018 *UPDATED*

Most of these “shoe reviewers” have to do things to differentiate themselves from the others. So I don’t knock the process.

does anybody know which og colorways of jordan retros are releasing in september and october? wish we still had a jordan release date thread

I agree.. That thread was dope and useful! All I can think of off the top is Jordan 1 Sail Green and the Sail Purple pair in September. I think there are others but nothing worth copping to me so I can't recall.
 
Surprise most of you are getting a good flawless pair off the bat, I had to scramble through a couple pairs for mine, then I decided to double up so I searched through stores and bought a few online, luckily I ended up finding another good one out of all of that. But overall, it was like 2 out of 7-8 bad pairs lol. Going to return the others back. One thing I notice is the mis match toe box leather, one shoe being textured and tumbled and the other one smooth. Seem like every other pair had that consistent flaw similar to the BC3s.

That's interesting. I went through five or six pairs between two different stores on Saturday and none had that toe box leather issue, and none really had any major flaws. I could have been satisfied with any of those pairs but since I was able to look through them (the stores were literally empty of customers other than me) I picked what I thought were the cream of the crop. But no one other than I or similar NT QC nerds would've noticed the differences between any of them. Well, except the one pair I saw that the toe boxes were a bit flat, but even that pair probably would have looked identical on-foot to any of the others.
 
Was at one of my local Flight23's yesterday and the manager said they were getting another shipment on Thursday around noon. My other local Flight23 had 41 pairs left in a size 10.
 
smaller popular sizes are sold out, for the most part besides hibbet online cause no one really knows about it I guess lol. other than that, I guess you can say some scattered big sizes are still sitting as well. I don't see these really lingering around long enough for a big discount. I think overall these flew off shelves pretty well for a "GR".
 
Finally got these in hand. I think they are way less bulky than they look in my size. I was too busy in college to buy these when they first came out. I always thought they would look too bulky on me, but happy that is not the case. Nice to add to the OG collection.
 
I received mine from Nike today and sent them right back. They were just not very comfy and at my advanced age of 36 I need comfy shoes.
 
I don't even know how that's possible. 13s are extremely comfortable. Are you sure you put them on correctly? (Kidding, obviously. But genuinely shocked.)

Posts like this make me wonder if we're even wearing the same shoes. And I'm older than you LOL. These things are quite comfy. I can feel the zoom, and overall they are soft and impact-absorbent underfoot. The uppers fit me great, too. I'd say this is one of the more comfortable Jordans and more or as comfy as loads of even non-retro Nikes I own. Everybody's body is different, I guess.
 
I'll tell you one thing I am disappointed in: I really wish they would release at least SOME decent retro gear with these OG shoe drops. Basically all they released for these are those goofy shirts referencing the movie. I don't actually want to wear the shoes while also being covered head to toe in matching clothes, but I'd love having some reissued shorts and tees to wear separately and whenever. It's weird, sometimes JB/Nike does make some decent stuff like that, and other times it's basically nothing, like with these. Ah well. The screw it up half the time, anyway. I remember being pumped to buy one of the retro 3 jackets from several years ago, the ones with the elephant print trim. Then I saw the pic of the back and the big AIR plastered across it and was like, I'm out.
