The Drop
The Jordan 13 Retro Flint dropped in 2020 as a nod to MJ's original '98 playoff run—French Blue leather toe, Flint Grey suede overlays, and that unmistakable panther-paw outsole. This colorway hit different for heads who remember the OG hype but want retro quality ohne den vintage Verschleiß. It's a clean, wearable flex that doesn't scream but still turns heads.
Resell Verdict
Fair resell sits around $295, with asks bouncing between $207 and $674 depending on size and condition. The 104 weekly orders show steady demand—not moon-shot territory, but a reliable flip for patient sellers. Hype peaked right after release; now it's stabilized as a solid "buy-to-wear-or-hold" piece. If you're flipping, target half-size gaps and DS pairs under $250 for best margins.
Fake Tells
- ▸Hologram: Real pairs show crisp, layered Jumpman hologram on the heel—reps often look flat or pixelated
- ▸Tongue embroidery: Check the Jumpman stitching density; fakes skip thread count and look janky up close
- ▸Midsole pods: Authentic Flint Grey pods have consistent matte texture—bootlegs go glossy or uneven
Who It's For
Sneakerheads who want a 13 without paying Bred or Playoff tax, plus casual collectors chasing '90s hoops nostalgia. Rock these with tapered joggers or straight denim—they're bulky but balanced.
Sizing & Fit
True to size for most, though the suede upper needs a wear or two to break in if you've got wider feet.
