Air Jordan 13 "Flint" May 30, 2020

This is why I don't understand people clowning me yesterday when I spoke of a shock drop yes my information was incorrect about last week but you can't bat a 1000, and honestly you think Nike is going to miss the opportunity to release sneakers during a Jordan documentary

I've been expecting something every week tbh.

Next week has to be a shock drop of Flints. Just makes sense.

Now thinking about it I don't think so everyone and their mother are expecting a drop next week. And if they do it's not going to be on the top of the hour probably when the documentary finishes
 
Shock drop for flints next week, would be the same time frame for release date as fire red 5s when they shock dropped . Like 2 weeks early and when they get added to snrks app.

I still remember when these joints dropped in 1998. I remember a train in my area being broken into and dudes at my school having these early. I never owned them but I'll definitely be grabbing a pair when they drop off nostalgia alone..

Was excited for this retro. I literally passed on the 2010 because too many corners were cut and left out on what made this shoe so beautiful. The shape was much better than more recent retro 13’s but it was still off. The tongue liner being so pronounced on the tongue and the tongues themselves still being weirdly high was something I told myself I could over look but I couldn’t. It felt like corners were being cut again to deliver us a serviceable but still off retro. Far from an OG snob but I caught myself sounding like that guy, “why couldn’t these be more like the OG’s?”....

So I bought some OG’s.

Too beautiful for me not to wear. They’re going on my feet as well as my DS OG All-Star 13’s. I’m ready to get them professionally reglued if they separate but the glue still seems really sturdy on the midsole. Enough for casually walking at the least. Still curious about this retro but I’m ultimately passing. JB just can’t get the retro of the 13 right or at least don’t want to. Couldn’t see myself waiting another 10 years for them to do Flints right so I took it back to the roots :nthat:

You definitely get it. Look how beautiful the XIII is when it is made like it is supposed to be. The retro doesn’t come close to this. It’s so disappointing. Congrats on your pickups. Enjoy!
 
im glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. Felt the same way about the 14’s too.
My Last Shots from the most recent retro have a weird sound when they hit the floor. Like the outsole rubber is harder.

The Indiglos weren't like that. Don't recall the mid 00 Reds doing it either.
 
I remember when the flints came out they sat. No one wanted these or the ginger low 13s back then. Everyone wanted the black/red, playoff, and wht/black (hgg) the most.
