Following up the ‘He Got Game’ colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97 is this another mock-up based on an original colorway – the popular ‘Playoffs’ that hit stores early in 2011. It features a tonal black leather upper with the clear AJ13 cues on the upper dimpled panel, the holographic Jordan Wings logo, the Jumpman on the tongue, and the JORDAN flap at the base of the laces. Hybrids always have a tough time grasping the attention of Air Jordan purists, but do you think these are perhaps the most “clean” results we’ve ever seen? More of the Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97 “Playoffs” below, so take a look and stick with Sneaker News with potential release information for Spring 2013, and review the entire listing from dopekicks23 on eBay.
Actually not bad
Not liking the the lack of stitching on the toe box
Very Nice
Now we know where the quality leather went. I bet they would of actually sold a pair of the red ones had they released these first..... Those red one will be at the outlets before the snow thaws and birds start chirping!!!!
STOP!!!!!!!!!!
I like the leather of the shoe....looks nice!
Why cant they do this with ACTUAL 13's?
they could've added the hits of nubuck! but after looking at these, i like how the leather looks. it's a clean shoe but i still prefer my playoff 13s
i rather the play off 13s than these
NO MORE FUSIONS Michael,Gentry & Tinker. More colorways and collabs of 1 retro model & 1 RETRO MODEL AT A TIME ONLY. NOT FUSIONS MAN!
They should of made the jumpman red and have that yellow ring around it cmon jb
@DreamChaser If they're going to do it. They need to do it right. I agree with you.
Not feeling these. Liking the AJ1/8s more than these
Its that one piece toe box that ruins it.
@kicks67 yes that shit is horrible one of the things I hated about the red ones
no thanks! Too many 1s...
These look like a cooked up shoe that a counterfeit manufacturer came up with. That leather does look nice though.
Dat leather looks dope
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite
Truth. I think some people just like to complain about Retro quality out of habit. Retros been looking pretty good since at least 2011. Are they as good as og? Prolly not, but a loaf a bread ain't a nickel any more either. Get over it.
@muthatrucka real talk homie... I do wish sum of da retro had da leather dat bubbles out like these... but they retros. Can't really complain about it
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite @muthatrucka Or you can do what I do, hunt down the pre-2007 retros. It's a bitch, it cost a little more to buy DS. But at the end of the day. I'm happy with my kicks.
