The release of the Air Jordan XIII ‘Altitude’ was confirmed for early December but whether or not it would be an Asia-exclusive, like last year’s Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’, was still yet to be confirmed. Well, it looks like select Jordan Brand retailers in the states are getting them because SoleFly in Miami will be one confirmed release spot for this upcoming Retro. The Altitude XIII released first in 2005 and was worn by a number of NBA ballers like Nate Robinson and even Jalen Rose during his days as a New York Knick, and the slightly altered 2010 version should be a popular choice once it becomes available. Jordan Brand has high hopes for December sales and the Altitude XIII should help that cause, so be sure to check the inventory of your local Jordan Brand purveyor and cop these on December 4th.
Style: 414571-002
Color: Black/Altitude Green

These are GREAT.although the the leather panel was changed to some nylon, it still looks awesome

the flints are TRASH…no 3m..they put white dots on them instead…its a lighter blue..lighter grey…such bad quality. I hate how JB claims to represent inovation, and quality..but the shoes come out like crap. Any of the signature shoes have been less than par. Everyone will find out the second they open the box, and pay $10 more for less. Such a shame. It even looks like they did the same to the "low" Altitude xiii's. smh, smh

Because he's stating his point does not mean that he's an hater, he's not attacking anyone except JB. You on the other hand seriously need to grow up …

Copped the Flints already and will have these on the 22nd. Hey 57, im just glad they put tumble leather on these 13's..It could have been worse. Can you say Orion 7 leather?…smh

Passenger57 brings a very valid point to light. I haven't seen the Flints in person, but my example of his point would be the charcoal IX's… They were $125 back in the day with leather and "charcoal" looking charcoal. Now, all nubuck and the charcoal has become cigarette ash. $150 for ashy, all synthetic material Jordans is a travesty. Funny, My 14 year old son looked at those and said, "Dad, really?'" There's not a stitch of leather on these.' "You have a pair that look like these in the closet that you never even wore, in my size.' "Can I just get those?" I had to tell him that he can't hoop in them. He settled for a pair of charcoal looking Hyperdunks…

look for size 14's and up on Nike.com or Footlocker.com
November 16th, 2010 at 11:24 am
DAM!!!!!!!!!!! SOLEFLY Gets all the HEAT!!!!!!!!

I'm no hater Chad. It's just really frustrating to pay more for cheap materials. If you can explain that I'm all ears. I mean really..wait to see the flints, and compare to an OG pair. Another prime example were the xii's. OG pairs came with metal eyelets but the ones that came out recently were Chrome plastic. I guess u like to be hustled so it doesn't bother u when jb says one thing and then don't produce. The darn team shoes or classic 87 or ol' schools come out way better than the retros. Go to a store and look for urself. My beef with the altitudes is the nylon material that will be white dots instead of 3m. I prefer lux leathers.

Although the Air Jordan Retro 13 in the Altitude Green has been refreshed for 2010, the side paneling brings about a cheap appeal, whereas the leather panel would have brought about a more luxurious feel for the re-release of these classics. The tragedy of this update, is the price that would fixed upon these shoes, which makes one ask, what is one paying for…the "Air Jordan Brand" name or the quality and crafting of the shoe. The all leather would be the version that reflects quality and the justification for the pricing. I will concur with the sneakerheads, these are classical and they will be sure to prompt positive head nods.

the release date was changed to December 11th.
November 17th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
Personally I think they look better than the leather panel pair…. Im not a hardcore sneaker freak but these look way more stylish than the ones with the leather panel.. yes its a cheaper material but I don't care… If your here complaining about that just don't get them no one is forcing you to… its funny
