FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the Air Jordan 13?

The Air Jordan 13 is inspired by the panther, reflecting Michael Jordan's stealthy and predatory playing style on the court. The outsole is designed to resemble a panther's paw, and the holographic eye on the collar is a nod to a panther's eye.

How does the 'Black University Blue' colorway differ from the original?

This retro release swaps the original red accents often seen on the Air Jordan 13 for a vibrant University Blue, offering a fresh aesthetic while maintaining the iconic 'Black Cat' silhouette.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 13 Retro is primarily intended for lifestyle wear. For serious athletic performance, dedicated basketball shoes are recommended.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 13 Retro 'Black University Blue'?

The trainers feature a combination of leather and mesh for the upper, with University Blue suede overlays. The outsole is made of durable rubber.

How should I care for the suede elements on the shoe?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean off dirt and restore the nap. A suede eraser can help with minor marks, and a suede protector spray can offer additional protection against stains and moisture.

What size foot UK 9 corresponds to in US sizing?

A UK size 9 generally corresponds to a US men's size 10.

When was the Air Jordan 13 Retro 'Black University Blue' released?

This specific colorway was released on December 23rd, 2022.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather or suede

Normal wear can cause creasing. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Suede losing its texture

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser.

Discoloration from color transfer

The University Blue suede may transfer color onto lighter socks or materials, especially when wet. Ensure socks are colorfast and avoid wearing in heavy rain.

Outsole grip diminishes over time

Clean the outsole regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may affect traction. If the rubber is significantly worn, professional resoling may be an option.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a footwear product, the Air Jordan 13 Retro 'Black University Blue' requires no technical setup. They are compatible with most casual outfits. To maintain their appearance and longevity:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and leather. For stains, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a machine dryer.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and moisture. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Suede Care: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains, reapplying as needed.
