FAQs

What does 'Obsidian' refer to in the name?

'Obsidian' refers to the deep navy blue color scheme of the shoe, inspired by the volcanic glass.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by performance footwear, these are retro trainers. They offer good traction and support for casual wear and light activity, but may not provide the specialized features of modern performance basketball shoes.

How should I clean the white leather panels?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the material. For stubborn stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner for leather may be used sparingly.

What is the primary material used in the shoe?

The primary materials are tumbled leather for the main panels and mesh or synthetic materials in other areas, with a rubber outsole.

Where is the Jumpman logo located?

The Jumpman logo is embroidered on the top of the tongue.

What is the function of the carbon fiber shank plate?

The carbon fiber shank plate provides midfoot support and torsional rigidity, helping to prevent the shoe from twisting excessively and enhancing stability.

What is the release date of this specific model?

The Air Jordan 13 Retro 'Obsidian' was released on September 19, 2021.

Is this shoe officially licensed and authentic?

Yes, the product information indicates authenticity and it is part of the official Air Jordan series.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consult a sizing chart and consider wearing thinner or thicker socks as needed for minor adjustments. For significant fit issues, consider exchanging for a different size if possible.

Creases forming on the leather.

Creases are a natural occurrence with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize their appearance, use shoe trees when storing the shoes and avoid overly bending the foot when walking.

Traction on outsole seems reduced.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth. The herringbone pattern is designed for grip; prolonged wear on abrasive surfaces may lead to gradual wear.

Holographic 'cat eye' appears dull.

The holographic element can be sensitive to certain light conditions or smudges. Gently clean with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners on this specific feature.
