today we're going to be taking a look at the court purple air jordan 13. i think this shoe might be
slept on but we shall see once we break down the styles cuts and materials and if you guys didn't
know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show all right first things first i need y'all to hit
that subscribe button i know a lot of people be watching the videos and they forget to subscribe
and i completely understand it it's okay bro i get it but today this is your chance hit the subscribe
button join the family join the squad let get it so like typical fashion we're gonna crack this box
open check out the shoe real quick talk about the history then get into the styles cuts materials
go over resale value all those different things so let's get into it looking at the box you have
your classic og style air jordan 13 box with a little twist you got a purple jump man on here
instead looking at the size tag it reads air jordan 13 retro black cord purple white size 13
just for me retail 190 bucks flipping open the lid of the box you have a white paper
right here and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay first impressions of this shoe
yeah bro honestly i'm not that mad i like these so when it comes to the history of this sneaker
this colorway in particular is something new that we haven't seen before but the model is a
classic for those that don't know this sneaker originally came out in 1997 during the end of
michael jordan's basketball career as he was on his way to win his final championship there were a
lot of iconic moments when it comes to the breads the cherries or the high games in particular
and because of that it causes consumers to love this model still to this day so when we see
different twists of colorways like this especially with the all predominantly dark shoe it makes it
very easy to rock and i can understand why a lot of people would enjoy having this shoe in their
collection so now let's break down the styles cut some materials and then we'll go over the
poll results and see what everybody else thinks of this shoe if it's fire or trash and then we'll
talk about numbers going to the bottom of the shoe you have your classic air jordan 13 outsole
all black trim black carbon fiber white pods and the purple hits on the center of the foot
and you can't forget to mention the iridescent jumpman on the bottom of the shoe as well this
is something i'll never forget when i was back in like kindergarten and i had my og-13s on i used to
always look at this and the side of the foot which we'll get into it a little bit now going up to the
midsoles you have black pops with the purple suede and following that purple suede you have another
set of purple suede right here on the back end of the foot you have a black tumbled leather vamp and
then your classic jordan 13 mattress print mesh i don't know for some reason it always just looks
like a mattress to me so i don't know let me know if you guys feel the same way one cool element
that they did incorporate with this pair in particular they added the 3m behind the mesh this
is something that we get sprinkled in every now and then when it comes to previous retros on the
past i always love that touch because it's a nice little flair to the shoe going to the shoelaces in
the tongue of the sneaker you have a nice black suede right here you have a jordan branding here
on the top end of the tongue and on the back side of the tongue you have roman numerals 13.
these come equipped with a pair of all black laces no additional laces or hang tags i couldn't really
imagine myself throwing any other laces in here besides the black let me know if you guys were
to switch it up what color lace would you go with now going to the back of the tongue and the sock
liner insole everything like that all murdered out all black with the purple jump man on the insole
and then to my favorite part the hologram on the backside there's like a small 3d hologram right
here with a 23 and a jordan jumpman on the inside of it this was one of my favorite things about
the jordan 13. it always caught my eye and i'll never forget my childhood of always glamorizing
this part of the shoe the original design and mold of this sneaker was inspired by a panther
as you can see the pods kind of like the paws and everything like that with the eye of the
panther so it's always cool to hear the design inspirations behind sneakers and how they came up
with the molds and how each jordan has a different story behind it just based on the overall
configuration of the sneaker and that's something else that i want to mention when it comes to the
newer jordan 13s they make them a lot slimmer around the front end in the toe area they were
definitely a lot bulkier in the past i personally prefer the bulkier look but i understand why
they're making them more slim for the people i get it because it's the new times and everything like
that but i definitely wish they would take that same energy when they try to recreate the air
jordan threes or the fours or the fives with that og style i wish they would take that and bring it
to the jordan 13 and give us that classic og cut and maybe i'm being nitpicky i don't know
but let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section should they bring the og
cut back i say yeah so the next question that i had for the people was do you guys think this
shoe is fire or trash if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can participate
in the polls and see all the results here on the channel 61 of the people chose fire and 39
of the people chose trash i completely understand it air jordan 13 alone isn't everybody's favorite
model it's definitely not a colorway that you can match with all types of outfits and there's just
not a lot of hype around it to my knowledge this was a very easy cop and i heard a lot of people
say the shoe is still sitting on shelves at their local store now i know it's not like that for
every single store in every single city around the country or the world but i know a lot of
people did have an easy time getting the shoe so let me know how your experience went down below in
the comment section when it came to purchasing this shoe did you even want to pay the retail
price do you think they're gonna go below that are they gonna hit outlets are they gonna sit for a
long time and get discounted i would love to hear what you guys have to say i personally think this
is going to be the situation with a lot of these other higher number retros that we typically see
look at the other colorways that are very similar to these you got the bread 13s which are obviously
iconic and makes sense why this shoe is worth so much then you have the hyper royal 13 which was
also sitting easy cop for a lot of people nobody really cared about the shoe a few years later next
thing you know what happened she was going for 350 bucks damn near the same price as the bridge even
looking at the all of 13s another easy cop for a lot of people not that many cared about it next
thing you know what happened another 300 shoe so i feel like at the end of the day it's going to
be inevitable and the shoe is going to be easily worth 280 to 350 dollars in the future obviously
it's gonna be a few years from now but i think a lot of people are gonna have that same thing
oh i should have bought the shoe when it was so cheap and then now they finally want to get the
shoe and then what happens the shoe is worth a few hundred bucks so i personally tell a lot of people
if you deep down really want to get the sneaker try to get it for a good deal now maybe find
a used pair for even lower or grab the shoe for retail while you got the chance don't worry about
all these values and everything but if you really want it for the long haul for your collection
you're gonna actually save more money by buying it now if you plan on holding it for 5 or 7 or
10 or 15 years just based off of models with the exact same color blocking from the past the breads
the hyper rolls and the olives we can definitely see a trend when it comes to pricing demand and
everything like that and i feel like these are definitely gonna follow the same suit and before
people get in the comments section talking about oh you forgot about the middle 13s or the i get
it bro but i'm talking about these ones with the exact same color blocking all the other ones have
a different color outsole which we can get into later in a different video i definitely need to
still make a jordan 13 explained video but that's definitely a whole nother thing for the future so
we'll get into that so i hope you guys enjoyed this i had a great time reviewing this shoe i'm
excited to have these in my collection i'm glad it was an easy cop for everybody that really wanted
the shoe they didn't have to worry about all that crazy demand and all these stuff going on i love
to see when releases like this fly underneath the radar i think this is a really dope shoe and well
