AIR JORDAN XIII "PLAYOFF"

Today we see another retro of an OG colorway.  MJ originally wore this version of the 13 during the all star game and playoffs.  Among the more recent retros, these gained a bit of a buzz due to the overall quality, which seems to be a half step above the other Jordans releasing around the same time.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2011 
STYLE CODE: 414571 001
MATERIALS: Leather covers the uppers with a layer of suede on and above the midsole.
COMES WITH: These come with black laces.
STREET VALUE: $160-200.  I copped my pair from Premier Skateboarding!

A LOOK BACK - ZOOM KOBE VI "POP"

 The Kobe VI has to be the ultimate sneakerhead shoe; the colorways are all pretty nice, the shoe itself is slick and can be dressed down or up, and they can take a beating and still look great.  Seeing as the forecast calls for showers today, its time to break out this pair of snakes and allow myself to slither through the rain worry free.  Check out the new pics below and my original review here.

SNEAKER REVIEW - ZOOM KOBE VI "POP"

This is the third Kobe VI I've reviewed.  This colorway came out during/just before the 2011 NBA playoffs.  Although the Lakers would not go on to win ring #6, that doesn't stop this from being a solid colorway and a no-brainer for any fan of Kobe's shoe line.
