History of Air Jordan

s-l1600.pngAt the beginning of iconic basketball player Michael Jordan's career, he signed a five-year deal with the also young athletic footwear company Nike. When Jordan wore the first ever Jordans on the court, the NBA wouldn't allow it without a fine since the sneakers went against their strict uniform requirements. Jordan wore the sneakers anyway, creating the perfect marketing opportunity for Nike and pushing Jordan sneakers into the hands of consumers everywhere. Now, Air Jordans are the forerunner in popular lifestyle and basketball sneakers.

The Jordan 13 Silhouette and the Black Colorway

s-l1600.pngSince their introduction in 1985, Air Jordan sneakers have been reimagined in a new silhouette almost every year. The Jordan 13 hit the market for the first time in 1997. With increased Air performance and new additions to the design, the Jordan 13 Retro Black can perform well and look good doing it.

The Nike Air Jordans Retro 13 Black, or the Black Cat Retro, keeps all the features of the original design, such as the mid-top build, bulbous sole, and hologram on the upper. These Air Jordan 13 Retro sneakers have a monotone colorway that mixes leather and suede textures, too. The color combination and silhouette make no question of why this has become a fan-favorite Jordan design.

More Highlights on the Jordan 13 Retro Black

s-l1600.pngThe Jordan 13 Retro Black has a black textured base that looks almost mesh-like. Suede covers the mudguard for a change of texture and contrast. The suede goes over the toe, up the back of the shoe, and stops at the collar. A black inner lining keeps everything cohesive and keeps up with the matching all-black tongue. The laces are mixed black and white, similar to the upper. Curves and swirls give the midsole a unique look and meet with the bulbous outsole. Both soles are black. The holographic bulb at the top of the shoe near the collar has a green tint similar to that of a cat's eye and stays true to the nickname Black Cat.

The Nike Air Jordan Retro 13 Black was released on January 21, 2017. On eBay, you can shop for this pair and more to get the perfect pair of Jordan 13 sneakers for your sneaker closet or collection.
