A Look At The Jordan 13 That Pays Homage To The GOAT's Farewell

Last week we told you about fly Air Jordan 13 retro that dropped for team small feet. This week we have another set of 13s that caught everyone's attention pretty quickly.
Let's Go Back To 2003...
My favorite part of a sneaker is when it is inspired by an event, person, or has a specific theme to it. Similar to Jordan's "What is Love" pack from 2016, the "Love and Respect" pack will carry a men's silhouette and one just for us. Inspired by Michael Jordan's retirement from the game of baskbetball in 2003, the shoe rocks sympbolism tied to his farewell letter to fans. Appropriately, this Air Jordan 13 has contrasting white and black colorways representing MJs letter that concluded with"Much love and Respect."
This Pack is All About Love...
The men's iteration carries a white dotted side panel on the upper with black wrapped around the back of the sneaker reading "Love and Respect" in 3M material. The women's/GS iteration is constructed of a white base upper with black dotted side panels. The "Love and Respect" also wraps around the back of the sneaker in white 3M material. The hologram bubble on the lateral side of the 13 still remains and an added touch of "Love" and "Respect" is placed in red at the bottom of each tongue.
Unfortunately, no word yet on the state side release, but this pack is set to release in China on October 1st. What does the CNK Gang think about these 13s? I'm actually feelin' the women's version and can't hate on a black and white pair of Jordans. Check out some of the other Air Jordan 13s you can shop below. Stay tuned!
