For Sale Retro Jordan, Fall is quickly encroaching, and as part of Jordan Brand‘s strategy for the leaf-changing season, it has a plethora of retro installments to thrust into the market. One of those makeups is the Air Jordan 13 “Obsidian” which has just been unveiled by way of official imagery.Some would also argue these err closer to UNC, its accents — like the tongue’s embroidery and the outsole — dressed bright in the beloved “University Blue” color. But elsewhere, the nods to the aforementioned are much stronger, with the titular navy displayed right atop the tumbled leather toe, heel, and lace unit.
This Charlotte Hornets-themed Air Jordan 13 Dark Powder Blue features a White leather upper with Dark Blue underlays along with Light Blue accents on the tongue’s Jumpman logo and rubber outsole. This release arrives in OG packaging and in full-family sizing.The design execution for this particular rendition of the Tinker Hatfield-designed silhouette is more or less pretty straightforward. It’s the UNC-inspired hues that purloin all of the attention, the most prominent being it’s titular tone that drenches the premium leather tongues, the mudguards and the heels. Pockmarked leather side panels opt for a much brighter execution and arrive with clean white finishes. Offering a slight bit of contrast is the traditional “23” holograms that are situated at the ankles which appear as green or yellow depending on which angle you view them from.
Originally released in 2006, the Air Jordan 4 Retro Lightning (2021) is one of the most renowned retro Jordan 4 colorways in Jordan Brand's catalog. It features a Tour Yellow Durabuck upper with black netted panels and dark grey eyelets. On the tongue, a black Jordan Flight logo patch with white and yellow accents complements the upper. From there, a Jumpman logo on the heel tab and white midsole with a visible Air unit completes the design.The Jumpman-at-the-heel-donning Jordan 4 will surely be a welcomed addition to collections everywhere, especially with those of enthusiasts who’ve never felt comfortable.
