Air Jordan Force XIII (AJF 13)

It was only a matter of time. The Air Jordan Dub Zero got the hybrid ball rolling and the Six (6) Rings focused solely on the kicks MJ rocked whilst marching toward the Larry O’Brien Trophy. In between, a whole line of hybrids mashing various Air Jordans into the Air Force 1 emerged as the Air Jordan Force series. Both the Dub Zero and Six Rings featured the Air Jordan XIII’s triangular side panels and that model is finally being ‘Forced’.

The Air Jordan Force XIII (AJF13) appears here in early artists renderings, having yet to emerge in sample form. AJ fans will recognize them as the regular season home colourway, the Flint Grey All Star do-up that graced the latest Six Rings that released today and the playoff palette worn in the 1998 tourney’s road games. All three feature the aforementioned golf ball-inspired side panels and two of the three have dimpled straps. Other notable design elements include the outer heel hologram inserts

A ‘Nike Air’ logo on the formerly soft elastic, now suede/leather upper heel and a two-toned AF1 sole divided by the pod-like design on the AJXIII bring the design together. Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll keep you up to date with the latest pictures and release info.

Superkix - Introducing the 1st search & discovery Engine for Authentic Sneakers

Superkix (www.superkix.com), the only search engine for authentic sneakers, is now publicly available. For the first time, consumers can search inventory by size, updated continuously from 45+ leading online retailers and discover new styles set to debut using a consolidated and ranked feed from the 20+ most authoritative sneaker bloggers.

Superkix maintains a database of shoe inventory and meta-data that is updated using proprietary data extraction technology. Because many online retailers don’t offer search by size, search across multiple sites represents a significant functional improvement for shoppers. Registered users can rate shoes, save them to a wish list and choose to be notified via email when a specific style becomes available in their size.

Whereas larger shopping engines are designed to solve more generalized retail complexities, Superkix was built to support intricacies of the sneaker niche. Search keywords can include colorway, nickname (aka) and product SKU.

To celebrate the beta release, Superkix will be holding a sneaker treasure hunt and giveaway in mid-March. Registered users will have the chance to win Nike SB What the Dunks and a variety of other limited edition pairs. To be notified about the sneaker giveaway, register now at www.superkix.com.
