Detailed review Jordan 13 Low by Cuong Dinh

The Jordan 13 was one of Michael Jordan’s last season on the pitch. For those who watched the NBA around 2011 – now the most famous athlete who often carries the Jordan 13 is Ray Allen – the stalwart NBA marksman.

The Jordan 13 is divided into two high and low neck versions, with seven color schemes being released in 1997 – the year the shoes were released. The turtleneck version has many historical color schemes such as “He Got Game”, “Barons”, “Bred” or associated Ray Allen’s name with the player edition.

In this article, BLV Cuong Dinh uses the low-neck version, the color scheme “Brave Blue”. The style of play is speed-oriented, the ball is turned a lot.

I. Design, Material

The design of the Jordan 13 Brave Blue is not out of the characteristic design with rounded corners from the toe, sole and shoe body. The material isn’t great compared to today’s shoes, but it’s not bad for a retro pair of basketball shoes.

The leather covering the top of the Jordan 13’s shoe is very similar to the cardboard feel of the cardboard. The shoe body uses reflective plastic that looks great if there is light in, especially at night (believe me, you will stand out when the rear lights are on). But this reflective plastic is easy to pick up dust, so please clean your shoes often.

The Jump Man logo part is covered with suede parts, dotted with a little more shine for the shoes. However, similar to the body of a shoe using reflective plastic, you will have to clean it continuously.

Seen from above, horizontally and after, jordan 13 low looks a bit flat, even a bit cumbersome. But if you look at the cross-section of the shoe, it is shown. The rounded lines become extremely soft and neat, creating a good feeling.

Score: 8/10

II. Adhesion

Evaluate :

• Placing the floor
• Durability is quite good

Jordan 13 divides the base plate rounded according to the foot contact, the inside of the herringbone is crossed continuously. The way to make the sole according to such foot contact plates makes the shoe not inferior to shoes with good grip like Kyrie Irving, Dame. For those with constant dexterity, you will love this soleplate. But too much of the soleplate also makes the feet feel a little uncomfortable. I will cover this in the section called “Hugging”.

A rough cement floor is sufficient for the durability of the soleplate. You can play for 5.6 consecutive months and still be confident enough to hit. You can comfortably attach the sole if the rubber is worn off.

Score: 9.5 / 10

III. Hugging degree

Evaluate :

• Go larger than half the size to avoid gaps from appearing
• Not continuous hugs, but enough for a speed beater
• Painful little finger after playing ball

Fully lacing feels your foot will be fully hugged but it won’t last long if you run continuously. Shoe gaps will appear more or less. However, it is still enough for the twists that need the strength of the shoe body.

When the stop comes to a sudden stop, the feeling of the little finger and thumb in the leg getting pinched is very frustrating – the discomfort I mentioned above. Every time I play football, I have to massage a little of my missing toes.

Score: 7/10

IV. Buffer

Evaluate :

• Quiet and very smooth
• Good shock absorbers Heel zoom is fine for big people

Two really amazing large zoom pads are placed on the brisket and heel. Elasticity, responsiveness, and comfort are undisputed by the buffer.

The compression of the brisket zoom is evident every time the rebound is strong or in explosive steps. Maybe due to his speed style, the heel zoom is not impressive enough. But if you use the Jordan 13 as a beater you will find that the heel zoom works just as well as the colleague on the brisket.

Score: 10/10

V. Support

Evaluate :

• Round base, wide enough to prevent ankle flipping (preferably with high neck version)
• The sole is definitely not loose
• Loose pasterns at high speed

The Jordan 13 Low has the certainty when divided into different soles, giving you a good balance when using speed.The shoe using cowhide makes you feel confident, sometimes uncomfortable like The hugging part is mentioned.

But the collar of the shoe feels a bit loose when running fast, making me feel a little scared. However, I have never been injured because of these shoes, so it can give you some peace of mind.

Score: 8/10

BECAUSE. Airy

Evaluate :

• The biggest minus point of the shoe
• Spray deodorant before using shoes

The big minus point of the Jordan 13 is the airiness, even with different materials used but everything is no different. Squash is still complete. Just wearing shoes for 1.2 hours also makes you not satisfied at all. The sticky feeling from your feet is what makes you throw your shoes away.

For fastidious people or cilantro, it is recommended to use shoe deodorant regularly before using shoes. If any teammate wearing Jordan 13 has a history of bad feet, bring a gas mask with it.

Score: 0/10
