Fans criticizing Air Jordan 13 “Purple Venom” sneakers
Since its introduction in 1997, the Air Jordan 13 has become a popular model among sneakerheads due to its performance and comfort on or off the court. The shoe features a circular hologram at the heel that includes a 3-D Jumpman and #23 and is packed with Zoom Air in both the heel and forefoot, a carbon fiber midfoot shank, and a grippy, paw-pad outsole design.
It was designed by Tinker Hatfield, who was inspired by Michael Jordan's "Black Cat" nickname to create a shoe that resembled a panther's paw. It is one of the unique features of the sneaker model for which it is special among fans.
However, the upcoming Air Jordan 13 “Purple Venom” sneakers do not have the cat eye design on them and fans are quite upset about it.
According to comments on social platforms, fans are saying that Air Jordan 13 without cat eyes is not AJ 13 at all. Even though some sneakerheads appreciate the fact that the iconic sneaker model is coming in kid's sizes, still they are upset about the cat eye design matter.
Additionally, sneakerheads are also criticizing the sneaker model in general saying that it is not up to the mark and they have expected much more from the sneaker label.
Fans are criticizing the brand by saying that they are not able to produce iconic sneakers like before and they are degrading the quality of the shoes.
Here are some of the fan comments from the Instagram account of @sneakernews which will show the disappointment of the fans:
On October 2nd, 2023, the new Air Jordan 13 “Purple Venom” sneakers will arrive on the market. The shoe will be available for grade schoolers, little kids, infants, and toddlers. The pricing tag will be $150 (grade school), $100 (little kid), and $80 (infant and toddler).
