New box.

Slightly brighter tone of "Altitude Green."

No Retro card this time around. (Sorry.) '05 repped leather. 2010 goes mesh.

What do you make of the changes made to this new version of the Black/ Altitude Green XIIIs?

Releasing nationwide in limited quantities on Saturday, December 11th.

Back in 2006, the Jordan Brand flirted with the idea of releasing a low-top variation of the Air Jordan Retro 7.

Perfect for the upcoming summer months, the Jordan Brand will be dropping the all new Hydro IV in a Military IV-inspired color scheme.

Both are great shoes but I will go with the 2010. I like the shade of green and the meshing over the 2005. I garantee that the 2005 quality is superior. JB's quality has diminished over the years.

In my opinion, these are garbage compared to the 05 release. Same thing with the flints. I have the 05 altitudes and the leather makes a huge different in the overall quality and feel of the shoe. I'll pass on these as i did on the flints and wait for the playoff XIII to drop, those I will get for sure.

I guess I better be the first one in line when they drop then.
the flints will always return because they are a general release like all the 6's dat released were, meaning that they will return n eventually have a discount in the future but the are a limited quickstrike meaning once dere gone they r gone n they dnt release at every store
Do you think these will be harder to get than the flints were?
