I purchased the Jordan 13 Del sol Jordan’s. The color was very bright and eye catching to me so I was excited about my purchase until I started inspecting my shoes as I always do. The bottom of the shoe looks like the color is bleeding off of the sole of the shoe. The top part of the shoe by the eyelet looks unfinished and had thread hanging out. All in all the shoe looks like a great version of a knock-off. I am a certified sneaker head and to say that I am majorly dissatisfied and disappointed is an understatement. Being that the shoes are expensive I was not expecting my shoes to look like I bought them from a flea market.

Was able to score the next day after release and it showed up 3 days later. Seems like maybe this retro wasn’t as popular but the new color way is beautiful! I’m glad they were still available and hopefully going forward I can get more releases as I have failed many many times trying to get ‘‘em in the past with other releases. I’ve had many frustrating times with releases but that’s fine because I’ll just go to a retailer and give them the business if sneakers can’t provide me. This time it all worked out though!

I was really looking forward to this release as I generally like the XIII's and this color/material combination looks so good in person, but the build quality of the shoe does not match its price. I feel this way because when I first tried on the shoes, the right shoe felt tighter around the toe box than the left. So, naturally, I played around with the laces and tongue. The idea being that maybe they were laced unevenly and re-lacing would fix the issue. It didn't. So I then decided to inspect (and admire) the shoe itself and that's how I noticed that some of the panels weren't aligned symmetrically across both shoes. Not by much and not all the panels, but enough to make the right shoe almost feel like a half size smaller making it strange and uncomfortable to ... MoreI was really looking forward to this release as I generally like the XIII's and this color/material combination looks so good in person, but the build quality of the shoe does not match its price.

If you look at the images I've uploaded and compare the distances between the 3M panels and the midsole on both shoes you will see how on one shoe it is tighter (or closer) to the midsole than the other in a few places. One other flaw I'll point out on my pair, is the stitching of the 3M panel by the hologram. On one shoe the line is nice and round all the way through while on the other it comes to a sharp point where it meets the inner lining. For this reason and others I already mentioned, I cannot recommend this shoe at this price.
