Not a moment too soon, the seasonal mood enhancer you've been waiting for...in the form of the latest Air Jordan 13 Retro “Del Sol”. While originally set to drop earlier this year, a proper in season spring landing is on point to guide us out of a cold winter. Rounding out the Retro Spring 2022 lineup that previously included several colorways like the “Starfish” and the “Court Purple”, the “Del Sol” packs a punch on this signature silhouette. Before we talk design, let's take a moment to throw it back. Making its debut in 1998, the 13's were Michael Jordan's on-court shoe of choice, carrying him through a final season as a Chicago Bull. Some sneakerheads and B-ball fans would argue that it takes the lead as the greatest basketball shoe of the entire collection.
Let's scroll through the details that define this rendition. Designed in the same blocking as the original release, this version wraps nearly the entire upper panel in a stark white quilted leather, including a perforated white tongue and a matching liner and laces. The lower profile overlay extends to the heel element and features that pop of bright and sunny “Del Sol” golden yellow suede. On the ankle, a bright green holographic decal reflects Jordan's original number, 23. Dashes of Bulls-referencing University Red are seen on the embroidered Jumpman on the tongue and insole. Planting you firmly on the ground, a black rubber outsole completes these bold kicks. With spring in the air, let the vibrant colorway speak for itself and sport them with an all white look or add to the color blocking with a bright sweatshirt.
This graphic sneaker reaffirms what we've always believed...in Jordans, we trust. Kitted with OG packaging and available in full family sizing, The Air Jordan 13 Retro “Del Sol” is due to drop March 19th on JimmyJazz.com. Get yourself logged on to grab a pair.
