I've gone back 'n forth on this whole 'nickname' game and honestly I've stopped caring. If you think about it, most people in that era didn't have TVs with a high enough resolution that they even noticed the shoes. And a smaller percentage who followed MJ more closely knew from pictures in sports periodicals. So when they made a movie where it was a more or less key metaphor used throughout, that is undoubtedly the largest exposure to the public by the shoe.
I mean comics are known as "HBO's own, or Comedy Central's own" cuz they did like 10-30 minutes on TV, even tho they've spent far more time working a scene or clubs or whatever. It's just the way the shoe got the biggest amount of exposure and if you're a blog, us arguing about it helps generate buzz and it continues.
I don't really care what people call what's on my feet. I mean I'll call 'em what I like "black toes" but I'm not gonna get all Grandpa Freeman on 'em.

Everyone who loves jordans and consider themself as jordan collector and do not own the
Ogs or the cdp of this coloway, should buy these!
Otherwise u r fake!
I still have my ogs and imo the white/black 13 can be considered as one of the iconic air jordans along
With the white/cement 3 or white/black-dark concord 11.

I can somewhat agree with you, because these were released at the pinnacle of the Brand back in 1997.
If you had love for Jordans / grew up in that era, and you don't get nostalgic seeing these again, then check your pulse.

"He got game" is bad enough, but dudes are calling these the "Pandas" now? ...where does this nickname nonsense end?
The Orca whales?
The penguins?
The newspapers?
The skunks?
The salt & peppers?

Lol thats funny, when talkin about my Playoff 12s with my girl, I call them my Killer Whales
I think the hate on nicknames is overdone. I remember back when the OGs dropped they didnt have any nicknames but now the next person you talk to might not know what shoe it is unless u use the nickname. Not everyone is a sneakerhead

Nic pic. In my opinion, every model Jordan has a clear standout colorway. But the 13s are the only one I can't pick a clearcut favorite. I have these, flints, and OG/04 breds in a 3 way tie.
