That was my reaction when I saw that pic, it's like a PE was right under our nose and we didn't realize it..... Can't wait for my pair to come tomorrow

not all pairs would get them but its not a red suede problem that some people make it out to be. and I'm with you on the look and that 13s don't look right without it. i saw the hologram 13s in store today and the 13 just feels incomplete without some suede on the midsole. i may be more anal about it too since the 13 is my favorite model.

Yeh, I knew this midsole switch a while ago, thought it was known, but as 13's are also my favourite model its a lil bit of a let down. Charge us more, give us less material and instead just paint. ***** BS fellas! Saying that, im still copping every cw. For collection although theyl get worn im not so anal il let it stop me from having something I enjoy still. Bleeding was only bad on previous grey toes. Yes some OGs bled but not a lot. Chicagos did a lil, not the retro though... Didn't warrant a switch up fo sure. If they only added this midsole to the grey toes and left the other cws alone thatd make sense. This is just an excuse to cut costs and charge more

Yeh just do you bro, that's all I suggest. These before any shoe for me but yeh so many damn releases coming now till may 2015, im not picking up any old releases for a long time it seems. Seems sensible to pay retail for 6 months, il end up with more shoes for less cost. Then il start chuckin cash out for those kicks on the list still. JB really is just chasing cash and don't care if its obvious as well. I just wish theyd end the jordans all together............... imagine.

Look and feel good on foot..

I can see why the wolf grey ended up with a painted midsole since there's no suade around the bottom of the upper. But none on the grey toe is weird, def should have been on there. The reflective 13s have it on there.. Guess since it was considered "premium."

Agreed the suede midsole bleeds on the pods especially red

ehh i disagree...perfect example is the 2010 flint greys...they fixed the bleeding problem with the suede and the suede still wrapped around the midsole..
the 2005 flints had a bleeding problem that caused the pods to turn a weird pink...the OG flints didnt have this problem...
the black and red ones from last year dont seem to have the bleeding problem in the middle of the pods...im prob just picky because XIII's are my first model ever...i understood the lack of suede on the barons but the red looks out of place imo
if the He Got Games had that midsole hell would break loose...

Weird... Wouldn't deduct my $20 WCR... It's showing -$20.00 under Use A Winner Circle Reward but not subtracting on my total price... I had to logout and check out as guest for it to work... Anyone else having the same problem?
Also do they fit the same as the other 13's? Last 13s I bought was the Bred 13s which I went .5 size down.

Ditto here with that issue with fnl, ever since they changed their website. It only works signed in on their mobile site for me. :
Edit: another fsr, nice. Rep. Hope the other xiii's this year are widely available, damn demand!
