Just got mine this afternoon. Absolutely gorgeous shoe, I think this is going to be my favorite release of the year. Not surprised at all at the rush on them once I saw them in person. Pics don't do this one justice.
AIR JORDAN XIII RETRO - ALL-STAR / PLAYOFF - 2/ 26/11 ((NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING))

NDC just dropped my second pair off. Glad I doubled up. Other than a little of what seems like the black dye from the suede on the pods (easily wiped off with a magic eraser) quality is on point

I see how you could be tight, but those two scratches look man made, with a box cutter from some hack. Where ever they opened up those boxes, some fool scratched them up somehow.. Now the midsole, thats on JB, but I cant see the scratches being from th factories.. Unless I'm just trying to give them the benefit of the doubtOriginally Posted by hAzEee aNd sN3aKerS

I understand what you're saying To have a pair of sneakers going for $160 + tax I'd expect JB to make them with the best quality possible but obviously that has not been the case for this particular release.

Went in and checked these out. I noticed the hologram is smaller on these than the OG (and all the 2004 retro's). I also noticed a lot of pairs had glue leaking out of their midsoles something we haven't seen since the 2004 Flint retro's. The one thing that impressed me was that they used good quality soft leather on the upper and the insoles felt more comfortable than all the 2004 retro's of the 13's but then everything came crashing back to reality. The leather around the toe box was stiff and cheap as was the padding around the ankle which is super stiff (something the OG's weren't). Overall they look nice and are decently comfortable but I wouldn't pay a dollar over retail for them.

I think quite honestly IMO, these were made so true to it's original, it's almost scary.
