Lapstone and hammer, online or in store… if I’m not mistaken, Creme321 is located in Philly also

My mini 13’s collection. Still debating if I should add the new playoffs to the collection.
11’ playoffs | Red Flints
17’ Breds | 20’ flints

I would definitely get the 2023 version since it's supposed to be closer to the originals. Unfortunately, it's always ingrained in my mind that all Jordans from that 2011 period will always be bad to me regarding quality and details.

I would assume any Foot Locker or Champs in a marquee mall in that area should have an abundant quantity because this one is an original color. Most of the original colorways have normally been available at all locations in the last 2 to 3 years. And the more popular malls tend to have higher quantities.

If you can't secure a pair on release day, then you can try to get the remaining pairs around that vicinity the day after since they should be able to sell them and quantities should be available.

Lapstone and hammer, online or in store…

I don't know anything about that company. I believe they're a mom and pop operation. I've only heard of them because some peeps on the Mitchell & Ness thread have ordered throwback apparel from them at discounted prices.

Well a lot of us know about Lapstone unfortunately you don’t IG gawd…. I guess you never heard of City Blue…. those of us, who actually buy shoes, know it’s better places than FTL etc,

Seems personal…you two okay therealest1 Koncrete Kickz

 

[aaronb765]

Lots of early pairs I've been seeing for 250. Should be plentiful.

So good… that I wore them again today!

2011s


With these being my second favorite Jordan of ALL TIME, I’m still DEFINITELY IN for the retros.

What’s your first?

What’s your first?

I remember my parents scooping some Black/White Team Jordans, which were my first "Jordans". I settled for them since we couldn't find the real Playoff Jordan 12s in any store.

I grew up wearing payless shoes or whatever I could find at the bargain stores. The Playoff 13s were the first signature/marquee Jordans my parents bought me when I was in elementary school, so I have a BIG soft spot for them.

I don’t blame you, that’s a great choice.

This may be true in major cities.

…but not in smaller ones

Red Flints are super nice. Great flip on the classic colorway.

Can’t wait to get these Playoffs on foot though.

While I agree, the leather…or fake leather I should say…is super trash. They need to improve the leather quality on the 13s because it’s

and don’t forget to fix the mesh paneling to actually fit the shoe and not make them look squished.

^^they have! Beginning with those black and UNC ones the toe box is genuine cow again for the first time since 2004 ish.

These playoffs are the first 13s I’ve been happy with since my black and reds in Christmas of 04 and that’s almost exclusively because the toe is not a hard helmet of plastic!

 

[beh235]

They don't use leather anymore iirc, they just got better with the synthetic material

I find it hard to believe that the toebox is 100% full grain leather

2011’s going strong (kinda lol) but looking forward to the new pair!

 

[OldManJays]

This is the only OG color way of 13 mids i never owned. Looking forward to finally having them. Not sure where I’d rank them among the OG’s . I just know black/reds are my favorite, and we need a legit remaster of those.

 

[beh235]

Best 13 cw imo

 

[therealest1]

 

[1988supersport]

I go
1 black red
2 playoffs
3 Chicago
4 he got games
5 cp3 or mesh altitudes (flints never appealed to me)

Both taxis and he got games have been growing on me lately. I always liked the flashier cw but they could end up higher. Super clean grown man shoes.

 

[KanyIZZY]

Feel like my OG list changes sometimes but Flints or HGG's usually take 1st and it took a LONG time for HGG's to do that for me. These are always 2 on the list though.

 

[zombiejohnny]

This is how i put all the og 13s from most to least favorite.

He got games
Flints
Black Reds
Playoffs
White Reds

 

[dmoney23444]

it’s hard to pick a favorite 13. Same with the 12. All og colorways were crazy.
