I really want them to fix how the 13 tongue squeaks. This is the first time I’ve heard that the og wasn’t as bad because of the material difference. But that’s what’s great about this channel, one of the few that talks tech specs etc.
I'm pretty new to the sneaker game and I've always wondered if this was normal. Every pair of Jordans I've won or purchased so far has this issue around the ankle and tongue area and I'm not sure what to do about it.
@@whatgosherejust wear them for a bit and thw squeaking stops. It’s the tongue leather rubbing up against the side of the shoe. I haven’t had my 13s squeak since September (purchased in august)
@@zeetonblaster2319 I can vouch for this. It eventually goes away. I also have them in wolf grey and they squeaked like crazy at first. My wheats still do. The playoffs are awesome though because the tongue is suede
I used to hate 13’s. Always thought they were ugly. Then one day I grabbed a pair and I’ve loved them ever since. The most comfortable Jordan (I’d argue 3’s here too but these have much better cushion - the 3’s are comfortable in a fit/upper way to me) IMO. The zoom is fantastic. These just feel.. good.
@styles430 do 13's have a arch in the inside like 12's? I've been wanting some 13's but I can't were sneaker with an arch need them flat like 4's and 6's
I bought the OG 13 "He Got Game" (when they weren't called that). My very first pair of Jordan's. I paid for em myself with my check from Pizza Hut. I DEFINITELY dont remember that tongue squeaking like these retros. I did everything in my pair. Hooped, played football, and even made pizzas. A beautiful, comfortable, well made shoe.
Only sneaker people I fux wit and I'm 48. Nightwing, you truly love sneaker culture and my Era of comic books. Mid late 80's early 90's were cracking going thru teens till adulthood. I'm so happy to have made it 🎉
Love the videos Chris! Really appreciate that you do a focus on fit, I have a high arch and so many reviews only talk about how “hype” shoes are, I’m 39 I couldn’t care less about hype I want comfort and retros I couldn’t attain as a child you bring it all with a little extra keep them coming! P.s. love Mrs.wings input always adds something to the video!
I absolutely love this colorway!!! Especially on the 13s. Gorgeous….story or no story. The blue and the yellow accent really works well. Well there goes my money. 😂
If you rub a piece of bounce dryer sheets between the tongue and inner lining of the sneaker, it actually will stop the squeak for a while. Works especially well when leaving the house and it starts squeaking
I just grabbed them today on release day. I tried the half size bigger on at one store(last size), and they were a relatively true fit with my compression sock sleeve over my socks, but I went with the tts at another store. I haven't had 13s since the wheat '05 releases and while comfy, I just dont like how the sides crease up. I prefer the UNC blue 9s that will drop shortly.
Its a beautifully clean and simple colorway. Practically perfect for something that hasnt been done before. I personally would have chosen something other than yellow as an accent color for the upper but that's just personal preference of not liking yellow that much.
My bro and I used to swap shoes when we had the same size foot. He let me borrow his brave blues and they were so comfy. I haven’t gotten another pair but I will likely get one from The resale since they released the retro a few years back. As for team 49ers
I wasn't gonna cop these so thank you for the review ur my #1 source for sneaker opinion, im buying these over 6 orchid, this colorway is a sumner colorway for me
I like these mostly because I am biased to the 13s. But it would have been better if the outsole were all black, instead of the grey they used. I'm leaning towards the OG colorways. Like the Del Sol 13s. I'll pass on these, because I already have the wolf grey 13s and doubled up on the Del Sols when they came out.
I love these and being a UNC fan here in North Carolina, this colorway is awesome. I think the "ochre" hits have a golden vibe to them commemorating the Tarheels 6 titles. The 13 is one of my favorite silouettes too.
i put wax on the tongues, its designed for garments with a lil help from a hairdryer. the sports last is way different to the 'retro' last, i would say its give a general fit.
I saw these for the first time on Jeff Green's feet last night during their match with the Raptors, and I gravitated to it right away, since you don't see any Retros on court these days since the early 2010s. I initially thought it was a PE and had to google Baby Blue / Light Blue 13s right away to know more. Definitely love it and might cop if the budget lets me 😅
It’s my favorite I don’t go with the hype 11-12-13-14 are my favorite because I saw him perform in them I watched him in the 6-7-8 as well but I have very blurry memories of those but 11-14 are very vivid
I like that sneaker UA-camrs are finally talking about the 13’s tongue squeak issue.. I’ve been pissed about that since the Flint 13’s.. & it’s only the white leather pairs
Unpopular opinion. The 13’s are the greatest Jordan model. For all those that hype the 4’s. Only thing Jordan accomplished with the 4’s is get his a$$ bounced in the playoffs.
Love the colorway, hate the cheap materials they used ONCE AGAIN on the tongue. I wish they would stop cheapening this classic Jordan and use really good leather. I won’t be buying anymore 13s until they do them justice. Thank you so much for pointing this out all of the time. I hope it eventually creates a change and they start making them better in the future. It has to happen, right? 😔
Super Clean, the blue will look rough dirty and white sock liner. Wish they would do the tongue different, the squeaking is terrible and annoying 😅 Be a sweet summer sneaker 🤙🏾 Thanks for the review as always!! 🔥
Loved the story time…I’d buy that story to be associated with this colorway. I mean it’s more plausible that that one story they concocted for a AJ 5 about waiting in line overnight blah blah. 😂 Really happy they are using better leather for the toe now. To answer Jodi’s question….I didn’t know it was the Super Bowl, nor did i know who was in it. I’m a basketball guy and never really pay attention to the NFL………however, it is also the Lunar New Year, so I”lol be rocking with that! 😁
I’d like to see weight comparisons. Lol. I love my 13 black cats they are so comfortable and light. My Jordan 3s are comfortable too but heavy. I have a drop foot on my right foot so I can notice the weight. I hear baby powder helps with squeak.
I wonder if it would create an uproar to do something, anything with the bright green cat eye. Love the effect, don’t love how it’s an eyesore with certain colorways. No other colors? They’ll change entire materials and toebox shapes but can’t change the eye color just once 💀
I am not sure about using these on Court though. They look nice. If they feel too close to the ground, I would decline. I look for extra support. Them Two Tray Shoes are Nasty.
Chris can model on the Price is Right 😂 I want the 49ers to win but I think the Chiefs will though. And these shoes could also be the Memphis Grizzlies PE 🤔
Can you find out why the sol fly 13's or the black flints was the last one's that have the roman numerals behind jordan tag at bottom of the tongue, play offs wheats grey wolfs and these dont have it 🤔
Playoffs don’t have it due to the OG not having it. They likely continued to leave it off as it’s easier for the factories to manufacture the future tags all the same.
I like these a lot and would cop on day one if it weren't for the black midsole "teeth", they look so out of place. For that reason I'm going to wait for a sale on these.
If you had to choose between these or the 4s bred reimagind. Which would you buy? I can only afford to buy one or the other because they are releasing to close together. Would really appreciate your opinion
These are so clean. I love that people sleep on stuff like this now.
The Court Purples were my first pair of 13s ever and I’ve fallen in love with them ever since. By far the best retro to hoop in!
I really want them to fix how the 13 tongue squeaks. This is the first time I’ve heard that the og wasn’t as bad because of the material difference. But that’s what’s great about this channel, one of the few that talks tech specs etc.
Agree 💯 they really need to make the tounge a little smaller also imo
Eventually the squeaking stops. I have a pair of the wolf greys and it took abt a month. The first couple times in public I felt like SpongeBob
I'm pretty new to the sneaker game and I've always wondered if this was normal. Every pair of Jordans I've won or purchased so far has this issue around the ankle and tongue area and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Never met A 13 I didn't like, but this colorway, is just beautiful!!!
I got me them bad boys when they came out! And i still ain't worn them 😅 we got the same taste in kicks! S/O to you homie!💯💪🙏

That colorway has a microfiber tongue so no squeak.
Originally called “Black Toe 13”

@@brandonmogul-adlin531 I don't even remember that. We just called em the "new Jordan's." I was 16. Now I'm 42. I'll be 43 this summer.
I never liked “he got game” as a name. I know it’s a reference to the movie but they could’ve just called it the “Shuttlesworth”.
First cop of 2024 !!!
The biggest of facts. I've passed on the 6s and the 3s because I knew these were coming out.
Facts
13s are my absolute favorite hands down. Always loved them since I was younger.
Love the videos Chris! Really appreciate that you do a focus on fit, I have a high arch and so many reviews only talk about how “hype” shoes are, I’m 39 I couldn’t care less about hype I want comfort and retros I couldn’t attain as a child you bring it all with a little extra keep them coming!

The only pair of 13s I've wanted. Wait. The wheat's also have a soft spot in my heart
This is a dope colorway. Very spring feeling.
The style of the shoes looks good
That squeak from the flints made me ditch them real quick in favor of the Hyper Royals with the suede tongue
Big fan of Jordan 13. This one is a must have for me
I absolutely love this colorway!!! Especially on the 13s. Gorgeous….story or no story. The blue and the yellow accent really works well.

The 13’s are my favorite model and I definitely want these. These are going to be hitting in the summer

Like the Del Sol 13s. I'll pass on these, because I already have the wolf grey 13s and doubled up on the Del Sols when they came out.
Agreed. Black outsoles would’ve slapped. Might still cop but I need to see in person first since I know they’ll sit
I almost cried when you said they almost perfect. I feel the same. We twins now
People sleeping on great shoes I can’t wait to hit the outlets this summer!!
I love these and being a UNC fan here in North Carolina, this colorway is awesome. I think the "ochre" hits have a golden vibe to them commemorating the Tarheels 6 titles. The 13 is one of my favorite silouettes too.
Clean. Got them for the low low on StockX
Bang bang Niner gang!!!!!! The Niners need this SB win. Also, the shoes are cool.
Me, my wife and 2 of my kids are wanting these. Beautiful colorway
OUR WIFE
I just picked these up on sale on the nike app. Size 13 I'm glad i waited.
Pogs! Living in Guam that was my game for years i brought it back to the states and no one knew what they were lol.
i put wax on the tongues, its designed for garments with a lil help from a hairdryer.
the sports last is way different to the 'retro' last, i would say its give a general fit.
Was able to grab a pair under retail. Beautiful shoe. Like you said almost perfect!
These just went on sale with 20% off at Nike. Going fast. Better hurry!
Already got them 🗣️🔥💯
Just bought them nice Review❤ you guys always got the Fire 🔥
I like these a lot, I was debating copping but decided ima save for the 11s dropping in April
I saw these for the first time on Jeff Green's feet last night during their match with the Raptors, and I gravitated to it right away, since you don't see any Retros on court these days since the early 2010s.

I'm going for the Kansas City Chief's because my uncle was a big Chief's fan and passed away before getting a chance to see them go to the Superbowl.
You won over a subscriber with the hologram comic book connection 💯 plus you love 13's like I do
I got the Solefly gone fishing- they are close enough to these I don’t need these ones
Conspiracy Chris trying to join the dots on the colourway choice is hilarious. Besides that .... these are so pretty ❤
Would be perfect with some Melo Denver gear
Thanks again you guys, great video.
Definitely love the review, was wondering if you are still a 6 ring fan, I watched your review on them before buying a pair yesterday
It’s my favorite I don’t go with the hype 11-12-13-14 are my favorite because I saw him perform in them I watched him in the 6-7-8 as well but I have very blurry memories of those but 11-14 are very vivid
I like this color way might have to cop when they go on sale. Bang bang 9er gang!!!
I like that sneaker UA-camrs are finally talking about the 13’s tongue squeak issue.. I’ve been pissed about that since the Flint 13’s.. & it’s only the white leather pairs
Where did you get that cool X-Men tshirt at?
Jordan 13 are my favorite. I hope they come out with more black 13s and other colors.
Awesome colorway on the 13’s. 🔥
Great review as always. 👌🏽
I resolved the squeaky tongue issue by applying Shin Etsu grease on the sides of the tongue and tying the top of the shoes really tight.
This look real nice alright 🔥🔥🔥
Totally thought these could have been a Melo pe. If you’re going oil baseball glove oil might work too.
Oh yea Wear Testers Yea. Yea! Buddy! I am Satisfied with your Performance.
Personally, the 13 Flint are my favorite Js.
im still waiting for a 13 made with Glass Holographic Eye. Those things get cloudy with age. It's the most Iconic part of the shoe.
Colorway goes hard; Definite Melo vibes. That "journalist guy" is Howard Sudberry, a staple in Chicago sports broadcasting during the Jordan era.
Would make for a fitting tribute for him then 😊
Jeeez it looks dope! Buy me one!!!
Unpopular opinion. The 13’s are the greatest Jordan model. For all those that hype the 4’s. Only thing Jordan accomplished with the 4’s is get his a$$ bounced in the playoffs.

What a great time to be alive! Except when you have to oil your sneakers. 😢 San Fran. Want a win for McCaffrey and Deebo.
With white pods i would have bought them, guess i need to hunt down a pair of wolf greys
Thaes what I said I don’t like the black but had it been white 🔥 ima cop the wolf greys
I dig’em these are dope as far as the Super Bowl goes it’s the McDonald’s invitational with the red and yellow
These are so fly. If they would have given this a UNC nickname or branding it would have sold better. I can’t wait for a discount.
This will be purchased oñ the 10th. 5th pair of 13's. Love the 13's, I wish they'd make more 9's!!!
Hell yea 9s are lowkey hard.
6:33 EXACTLY

Will fit well with grizzlies cw too. The Light blue one
Just got them for 160 🎉
Completely comfortable 🏆
Copped these yesterday 🔥🔥🔥
I'm stuck between these and the wheats
ordered them two days ago too👍🏻
Third time in 10 years being in the Superbowl. NINERS FOR THE WIN!
If I hadn't just purchased a pair of solefly 13s I'd probably go for these.
I’d like to see weight comparisons. Lol. I love my 13 black cats they are so comfortable and light. My Jordan 3s are comfortable too but heavy. I have a drop foot on my right foot so I can notice the weight. I hear baby powder helps with squeak.

Just got these on stock x for $102 at 4:30am today
I like em but I feel they would be way better if they went white instead of black on the lugs
Same
The white outline around the outsole should've been black
These are fire 🔥
it's the closest thing to UNC PE i will ever get....these are must haves!
The background song keeps on playing on my head. Any idea what is the title?
Anyway, long time follower. Love this channel so much!
Vato I found about those shoes 3 days ago ., I was waiting for your video because I am going to get those shoes February 10 Akutan Alaska Time
They clean
I am not sure about using these on Court though. They look nice. If they feel too close to the ground, I would decline. I look for extra support. Them Two Tray Shoes are Nasty.
I love 13’s, but these are not for me. Great review ❤❤
I’m rooting for the commercials. I don’t have a horse in this race lol.
Love these but like most 13s recently, I'm waiting fir these to go on sale.
Those look nice don't really care for the yellow tho on the fence. I'm routing for DJ Tiesto ❤😂
Are those black toe 14s? The same one coming out in holiday 24'?
Just got the dune Red
Suggestion: to highlight the cat aspect show both shoes together from the back. You can see the hologram eyes make a face
Nice one🤩🤩🤩
Speaking about football. Chris have you ever hoop or like any football sneakers since as the diamond turf, Mission, and air bowl trainers?
This is why you're the best.
Pogs!!!!!! My little brother had a S*%t ton of those things. He even had a bunch of Ninja Turtle ones
I have a pair of them black cat 13s with the straps 😆
Chris can model on the Price is Right 😂
I want the 49ers to win but I think the Chiefs will though.
And these shoes could also be the Memphis Grizzlies PE 🤔
I think the grey blues is a reverse of the solefly . But I like them anyone
Can you find out why the sol fly 13's or the black flints was the last one's that have the roman numerals behind jordan tag at bottom of the tongue, play offs wheats grey wolfs and these dont have it 🤔
