Yeah I used to be bummed when I took an L on retro Jordan’s. Now I push on and we’ll see em again 7-10 years lol

I’ve never seen this 2013 sample before. Would anyone bought these if released?
The top and the back look like 2 different shoes

Weren’t those Chris Paul PE’s? From when he first joined the Clippers? I don’t remember them being samples…

The whole shape just looks off. The toe box. Look at the OG and 2011 shape next to the 2023. It’s just a lot cleaner look on the older pairs.

I will never pass on a OG colorway of any Jordan. These are a must.

And this is why retros like the 2018 black/cement 3’s exist.

I just got my pair in. These are better then every other last OG retro. The HGG, Blk/Red, Chicago and Flint that have all released in the past 5ish years I mean. Leather on the toe box is significantly better. Overall build quality better. They're solid.
Definitely not perfect but an improvement. I had heard some of the + CWs have been getting a bit better so maybe they are just in line with them. I just buy OGs mostly now, so I haven't had them to compare.

^^great news man! I can tell the toe box shape itself has been slightly reworked too, along with the mentioned material upgrade… it looks much more digestible. My pair is en route to the authenticator so I should have them by 2024 lol

I still need to see how that toe leather looks with some wear…If it’s going to have that unnatural folded plastic look that 13’s have had for what seems like forever then it’s still going to be a pass…I can’t mess with the disrespect Nike is STILL giving the model at this point…I’m far past the point of buying subpar retro’s based simply on the nostalgia the shoe stirs up…

Toe leather is definitely better. That seems like the biggest improvement. They aren't OG like or anything lol but the overall plastic build is definitely less evident on these.
It's a solid/decent retro.

Held these in hand at Stadium Goods and was extremely impressed with the toe box leather. It was real soft.

JB are well aware they don’t need to significantly improve their standards because people will buy anything, especially in OG cws.

Perfect conditions for a classic, old fashioned Davey Magoo L.
…I’m getting emotional just thinking about.
