The new Air Jordan 13 Squadron Blue sneakers are old shoes that have returned with a bang. Sixteen years after their original release, they are back with a fresh design.
This release marks another in a long line of retro sneakers brought back by Nike in the last few months. The Jordan 13 Squadron Blue sneakers are exactly what they sound like: aggressive, powerful and blue. They also feature a sleek yellow accent along the sole that creeps into view most of the time and offsets the otherwise all-blue shoe. The yellow, which is described as "electric" also accents the tongue trim and logo.
Fabric wise, it features blue mesh panelling on the sides with a blue suede and blue leather finishing off the shoe's body. Making old styles new again seems to be Nike's main focus at the moment and these sneakers successfully achieve that.
