FAQs

What inspired the Air Jordan 13 Retro University Blue?

This sneaker takes inspiration from the "Black Cat" silhouette that debuted in 1998 and updates it with a University Blue color scheme, aligning with Jordan Brand's trend of incorporating this blue hue.

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

The sneaker features a combination of black mesh and leather for the upper, with University Blue suede overlays. The midsole and outsole are rubber.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used sparingly, and always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid getting the suede overly wet.

What is the unique design element of the Air Jordan 13?

The Air Jordan 13 is known for its outsole designed to resemble a panther's paw and the holographic 'panther eye' on the side collar.

Is this shoe suitable for basketball performance?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, this retro release is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It offers good traction and comfort but may not meet the specific demands of professional basketball play compared to modern performance footwear.

What does 'University Blue' refer to?

University Blue is a specific shade of blue used by Jordan Brand, often associated with collegiate sports teams.

Where can I find other sizes or colorways?

Other sizes and colorways may be available through authorized Jordan Brand retailers or reputable secondary marketplaces. Check the 'variant_siblings' for other listed options.

Troubleshooting

Suede material appears matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Leather shows creasing or minor scuffs.

Minor creasing is normal for leather. For scuffs, try a leather cleaner or conditioner. Professional leather care products can help maintain the finish.

Outsole grip seems reduced.

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris, mud, or smooth residues. Wipe with a damp cloth. For worn-down areas, traction may be naturally reduced.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult males, the UK size 12.5 offers a standard fit. Compatibility is with standard sock wear.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and mesh sections. For suede overlays, use a suede brush to remove surface dirt and maintain texture. Avoid excessive water.
