In the luxury retail business, there’s always that one piece that people will always keep on admiring and buying. No matter how long it’s been since its debut or how many iterations the brand has offered, that particular model will still see a loyal consumer audience. Such is the case with the Air Jordans, arguably Nike’s most famous shoes. They even have several versions, and their 13th model recently came out in an interesting wheat color.

Retail Price: US$190.00

Release just last November 21, 2017, the Air Jordan 13 Wheat sneakers are the recent versions of the famous model to hit the stores. Faithful to the classic design but painted in a totally new hue, various customers and critics have weighed in on their worth. At $190 a pair, one can buy them at any Nike store worldwide and through various online retail platforms.

Pros

Part of the holiday 2017 collection of the famous American sportswear behemoth, the Air Jordan 13 Wheat sneakers boasts an interesting light-brown color that’s rarely seen in sneaker culture. Such a hue is often used for combat boots, leather shoes, and the like, but rarely for a sports shoe, especially one that is as famous as the Air Jordan. The mixture of leather, suede, and a Gum outsole makes it less of a monotone piece and help various features stand out more. A cat-eye hologram adds a more mysterious and edgy touch to the sneakers that are not found in other Air Jordan iterations.

Cons

While the hue is interesting, the overall look of the shoes is not as bombastic and impactful as other Air Jordan models. For many, the Air Jordan 13 Wheat sneaker belong to the “ugly-pretty” category, where its lack in sophisticated design is its utmost appeal. In today’s age of social media, customers want colorful and eye-catching colors to decorate the sneakers and this new pair doesn’t necessarily fit such a standard.
