Just to add some numbers to the launch locators
The grey toe 13 is a very large GR
Smaller stores we sent as many as 185 pairs(men)
So the allocation is very high

I know it's been answered but yes, black pods don't show the bleeding.

Yea, I thought it was obvious too but I feel like I'm in the vast minority that is happy that midsole is painted, not suede...this is a solution for a flaw from its previous model. Some people are calling it a deal breaker. I don't get it...

I guess its like having a XI with nubuck instead of patent leather. Just shouldn't happen. Bleedings only a issue after years, and even then its like yellowing on 5's. Adds character, but that being said it wont stop me copping. But if 13s went in my fav models I would think about passing

I agree! painted midsoles actually make more sense to prevent bleeding. not a big j13 fan but im gonna try to get these for my old man as a xmas gift.

The suede midsole is hardly a main feature of the 13.
Dudes copped "altitude" 13's that didn't have leather side panel.
Dudes copped flint and bred 13's that didn't have 3M. Those are major changes that take away from the shoe. The midsole being painted instead of suede, in my opinion, is minor and a non-factor.
The "adding character" part is something that I can understand though.

Suede is the biggest part about 13's that seperates them from other numbers.....
I don't really mind myself either way but if had the choice id go suede over paint. Atiltudes worked cos it had no suede, was a different cw all together, 1 is ok, every model with paint, yeh nah, then it starts getting to far away from the classic it is.
But yeh its not as big a deal as some are making it out the be for sure

Suede is the biggest part about the 13's??? I mean, suede on the back and the bottom is important...but the midsole?
Not the 3M side panels? Or the hologram on the back? Or the sole with the pods?
I'm not sure I agree with you on that...

Not every 13 has 3m (or should) Every 13 apart from altitudes have suede. some have mesh some have leather all have suede. That's my point.

For sure.
But the 3M is still a major feature of the 13's that have a mesh panel. I don't the suede midsole is a major feature on any 13

The models that have suade on the upper look better with it on the midsole. I get the bleeding issue, but with a $15 increase as well they should have put more effort into finding a dye that doesn't run. And yeah, the Altitudes and Wolf Grey look fine painted since they don't have suade on the upper. But I agree the 3m shouldn't have been dropped on the appropriate models either. It's bull the price keeps rising while JB is cutting corners on these retros.

Altitudes suck ***, but I digress...
Absolutely no excuse not having midsole suede on the upcoming black release...
