Rocking the Jordan 13 Retro MCS Grey Toe 2018
Few shoes in the history of trainers are as iconic as Air Jordans, and few Jordans are as iconic as the 13, which released in 1997. Like all but two of the Air Jordan models worn on court by MJ himself, the 13 was designed by Tinker Hatfield. The AJ 13 represents a close collaboration between the designer and the athlete: Hatfield came to Jordan with an idea, but Jordan offered feedback that would shape the final result.
Jordan 13 History and Design: The Black Cat
After designing ten other iterations of the Air Jordan - one each year starting with the 3 - Hatfield needed fresh inspiration for the new model. He found that one day while he watched Michael play - suddenly, it all clicked. Jordan’s grace, power, the audacity of his offense, the way he conserved his energy only to spring at the perfect moment: he looked like a panther. Hatfield got to work right away. When he showed the design to Jordan, the story goes, Hatfield referred to his concept as the “Black Cat” and Jordan was floored – Black Cat was his nickname among his closest friends. And so, the 13 was born.
The Black Cat or panther concept was worked into nearly every aspect of the final product by the time of release. It represented not only a big step forward for the brand aesthetically, but technologically as well. The first Nike shoe ever designed on a computer, it includes a number of high-tech features such as a carbon fibre footplate, a holographic logo, and reflective mesh side panels.
Early sketches called for a strap so that Michael could easily adjust the tightness of the shoe on the fly during a game, but after trying on different prototypes, Jordan nixed the idea. He said that the shoe shouldn’t have anything on it that wasn’t necessary. He wanted simplicity and performance - the result was a streamlined, stylish trainer that was also the lightest Air Jordan Nike had ever produced.
These white and red Jordans baseball cleats feature a distinct glossy red finish on the outsole and part of the upper. A white leather overlay section is the main highlight on the sides of the upper that spans from part of the heel section to the middle of the upper. The leather overlay stretches to the collar and makes part of the eyelet series on these Air Jordan 13 retro releases. The Gym Red Jordan baseball cleats, like most other sports fittings, consists of a slightly raised heel cushioning that makes part of the glossy red outsole finish. A suede-like leather grey makes up the toes section and part of the middle side of the upper. The grey leather also makes the outer part of the tongue, which is bordered by a cushioned red textile lining on the collar.
