Sneaker Info:
The Air Jordan 13 is a retro basketball shoe from Jordan Brand that originally released back in 1997 in 7 OG colorways. The Jordan 13 gets its design inspiration from the anatomy of a “big cat” and features design cues that resembles the paws, eyes, and whiskers.
For 2020, Jordan has finally decided to re-release the much-anticipated “Flint” 13s, which are easily one most popular OG models.

Materials And Color-blocking
It has been 10 years since the last release of the “Flint” 13s and this year’s version looks to be closer 1 to 1 replica of the original than the 2010 pair.
2010 Pair Of Air Jordan 13 “Flints”
For 2020, the shoe will feature a darker navy-blue side panel and integrated 3M detailing that was found on the OG model, but left off of the 2010 retro.
When it comes this shoe’s materials, the shoe will feature the usual mix of Retro 13 materials including:
Tumbled Leather (White)
3M Threading
Carbon fiber
Synthetic Suede
Rubber outsole
Nike has upped the quality of their retro models since this shoe’s last release, but don’t expect to be blown away by the shoe’s quality. In most cases, production quality varies between pairs, so hopefully you’re blessed with a pristine pair if you’re looking to cop a pair of these on release day.

Release And Resell Predictions
This should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, “These shoes will be a HUGE hit” on release day so don’t sleep if you’re looking to cop a pair for retail on released day.
Production numbers for both Men’s and Grade-School pairs will be high, but demand is equally as high so expect to see a 1st-day sellout similar to the “Fire Red” 5s that released weeks prior.
In-store raffles will be the only option for purchase at most major retailers that are open during the COVID-19 crisis, but of course pairs will be available online on a first-come, first-served basis as well.

Expect Restocks
If by chance you aren’t able to cop a pair on release day, all hope is not lost. As with most releases these days, online retailers will make more pairs available days or weeks after the original release.
