    This was the shoe that made me fall in love with Jordans as a kid. Still my favorite silhouette to this day!

    The 13s are insanely comfortable even by these days standards, even the midsole has suede on it. They make that puffy scrunching sound when your walking in them as well that is oddly satisfying. I wish they would do some all black leather and red suede 13s at some point.

    I got my Flint Red as my first AJ13 by random chance through a raffle. While it was widely available in retails, I enjoy it and noticed that it was significantly lighter than the rest of the lineup.

    Love it. The XIII was my first jordan. I think you should have mentioned Mike Bibby Low PE's, but that's a personal bias because you covered a lot of major releases. It's sad that there is no iconic moment for the 13, and how the last shot could have been in the 13's. It's iconic that it is the beginning of the Jumpman brand and how it debuted on Halloween!

    I pretty much exclusively wear Birk's, and never cared for sneakers, not sure why i've watched everyone of your videos at this point, great content i guess!, i think i want a pair of Stan Smith's...
